Yes, the only time I could get a decent smile--drool and all--was in the bathroom... The bathroom is a magical place. Something about lifting the toilet seat and tearing off the toilet paper.
I admit that I have been having a lot of fun with appliques lately. When I was thinking of something springy for a boy, all I could think of was frogs (Girls get butterflies, boys get... frogs, right?). So this is what I came up with:
I used mostly scraps. Don't you love the tongue?! I cut out a circle for the frog's tummy and an "eight" shape for the eyes. I double-layered the eyes with black polk-a-dot fabric. Don't the polk-a-dots look like eyeballs??
Here's my handsome little guy wearing it...
I used the same pattern when creating my Five Green & Speckled Frogs. I made this pattern in Photoshop. You can download my frog pattern here. If you use it to create anything, I would love a link!! I want to see what you creative people come up with.
Happy Friday, my friends! Enjoy your weekend. I have big plans that involve my quiet book and catching up on some sleep!
PS Take a look!
Such a cute little shirt. My little monster would look adorable in a shirt like that.
