My version...

Thoughts: Every month I receive in the mail a magazine full of adorable childrens clothing. I dog ear the pages of what I like best, invisioning how cute my grandchildren will look. Then reality sets back in...

I take the price and times it by 6.

It was fun dreaming.

Things: I bought this T-shirt at Target and made my own version of what was in the magazine.

Cut out shapes, backed them with wonder-under and then ironed in place. With a small zig-zag I used invisible thread and sewed around each piece.


... added some embroidered wiskers

Ready for play, ketcup stains, dirt, and lots of washing. By seasons end, even a few holes.
