Lately I've been trying to go through my closet,
pick out the items I never wear & try to make them wearable.
Here's what I've been up to this week ~

( Pants to Stenciled Skirt )

( Shortened & De-sleeved Dress )

I had a pretty productive Saturday! ;)

I've been wanting to make a Trumpy shirt for a while, & finally got a cheap shirt to put it on.
Trumpy is an alien from the MST3K movie "Pod People", which is my favorite.


(the letters got a little pixelated in the picture)

( And I had to put this on the back of the shirt~ )



Also, I love wearing my dangly earrings with the new hair cut.
There were a few colors I still needed, so I whipped up four new pairs.

I got busy on that Pirate Shirt and finished it up this morning. I debated whether I should finish it during my work hours or not, but I was going to have to move it out of workspace and I'm getting paid for it anyways... so, productivity, procrastination, call it what you will.

For a pirate-loving teenage girl knick-named "Captain Skittles" ~

For a full shirt shot, materials used, & my husband's sense of humor, here's my craftgrrl post.

I have not done too much stenciling (or screenprinting), but everytime I do I just wish I knew how to do this back in High School. Oh, the fun I would have had! Even in college we were always talking about some shirt we should have made. But now I work at home, and we do not know many people in the area, so it is not as fun to sport my new T's. :(

I got my idea for this shirt from this folder at Archie McPhee. In the catalog they showed a close up of the inside of the folder, where they listed the top 10 rules of a unicorn. I felt #10 had to be put into shirt form, so I stenciled this one up ~


I just posted this on craftgrrl here.
