Raising Hands

Everybody has one of these hanging in their kitchen. If you don't? Tell me. I'll hook you up;-) There's just something about a crocheted towel hanging in a kitchen that signals that the lady of the house knows what she's doing:-) It's late and I don't have any buttons to finish it off but you all get the idea.

I found a picture of th is on Pinterest. I had to hunt around for a tutorial on how to make rosettes. Once I found one though I became a rosette making machine. What a clever way to use scraps of left over fabric:-). I bought some fabric paint and washed up a couple little T-shirts and away I went. The best part about this project is that it wasn't too messy and could be completed during nap time (just find a safe place to let them dry). Now our little princess needn't ever wear a plain t-shirt! I need to hit the outlet sales and make one for Bella to wear now! This one is 18 months. More pictures to come:-)

I blow hot and cold when it comes to the projects I do. I really get a lot of enjoyment from doing crafts but I don't like all the stuff everywhere and the mess it involves. Someday we will buy a house and it WILL have a craft room! In the meantime Father's Day is Sunday and here is another Pinterest inspired project:-) I would link to the source but the author gives no instructions. Just trace on scrapbook paper and mount in a frame. I used a 10x13 photo frame. Since scrapbook paper is 12x12 I cut a section of poster board to size to mount the hands on. I traced everybody's hands on plain paper then transferred the tracings to the scrapbook paper. I used a gluestick though I probably should have used scrapbook tape. I saved the little templates in case I have to redo it. Hope everyone has a great weekend:-)
