It's All Fun

A couple of Saturdays ago, Jackson was invited to attend the birthday party of one of his former kindergarten classmates. The mother told me her daughter loved arts and crafts, so I thought a pencil roll would be perfect for her. I made three. Well, not all for the birthday girl. Two for my children and one for "Heather G." These are the first I have made and I was surprised at how easily they came together. There were some kinks along the way (the real reason I made three), but I used what I had -- entirely from my stash.




And I finally finished Spenser's twirly skirt from yore. Actually, it's been done for a couple of weeks, I just kept forgetting to blog about it. Although I think it still took a month to finish. Again, I used what I had. (Are you noticing all the sentences started with "A" in this paragraph? Assuredly it was not done on purpose -- except this sentence.)

Today is the end of the Use What You Have Challenge, so both of these are heading to Flickr.

And now for the fun.

If I were a Simpson, I would look like this:

Karyn would look like this:
And Capello with her new self-feathering 'do would look like this:



I took actual photos of these ladies and Simpsonized them. This is what came out. (You can also change hair, eyes, etc. if you want.) I also Simpsonized my children, which they all loved.

I love the pencil rolls... and the honest about what you really made 3! haha.

The skirt is really cute. Would it be wrong to make one and have Isaiah wear it?!?! hee hee. That may lead to some issue later down the road.

Love The Simpsons. We were going tonight, but plans change. Maybe I can simponsize us all for Stew for part of the countdown. I need to find some photos.

Sigh... I really need a girl. That skirt is too cute. How much of that red gingham bias tape did you make?? :o)

The pencil rolls are cute, too. What ideas do you have for a bridal shower? I have one to go to soon!
