We are leaving today for Omaha to visit friends back in our old stomping grounds! My friend Lori (who graciously takes care of us for 4 days) is expecting her third baby in August and her daughter is having her 6th birthday party while we are there. I like to make them crafty gifts because Lori always thinks my projects are way more difficult than they are, so I feel very Martha Stewarty.....
My friend Sharla gave me the idea for the butterfly shirt, and I adapted from there. The grey one is the crap first one. I don't know why I made four; I guess it was just fun and they were practically free--the shirts were 50% off at Hobby Lobby, so for all four it cost a grand total of $6! 
My favorite--probably part of Olivia's gift.
Lori's baby room is going to be animals--brown, orange, yellow.... I made these photo boards to match. The most exciting part was my new heavy duty stapler. Should have bought one of these long ago!
Close up of the board and the cute corduroy card I found at Target. 
Omaha, here we come! Papio friends, can't wait to get together. I picked this photo because it makes Omaha look much bigger and glamorous and further away!

Is that really Omaha? I love the picture boards you made for the baby and Olivia will enjoy the shirts you have made for her------great job, Martha! We're looking forward to your visit!
Love your cute projects...high school kids would probably like making shirts like that too. Perhaps a project for my Textiles & Fashion class? :)
Your projects turned out great!
Dedra you ARE Martha Stewarty! The shirts are fab! Did you use Heat-n-Sew and a pattern? If yes to the pattern I'd love to have it and make some tees with my girly-girl! It was so great to see you, but I do wish we could have talked more - hard to do in the big group though. Next time.... Oh, on a different note - puppy chow? Yuck.
