You guys must have at least one little girl in your life that wears (or will wear) a size 4T-5T!
So as many of you know, I used to run a small handmade dress shop on Etsy (under GrowingUpwCharissa and minimooh). Charissa has long outgrown her love of wearing dresses, and I am finally ready to part with the remaining "originals".

To enter, you (or your minions) must submit a piece of 6x6 artwork to Rochester Contemporary Art Center (visit http://www.roco6x6.org/ for submission guidelines and form.) It is a unique (and free! minus shipping costs) opportunity to create something and have it displayed and up-for-sale at a real art gallery! So to enter:
1. Create a piece of 6x6 art.
2. Pack it up for shipping and then take a picture of the package.
3. Post your picture on my timeline, private message me the picture, or email me the picture.

Okay. That's it. :)
After much deliberation, the kids decided to be ninjas for Halloween. 'Tis a busy mother's dream come true with only belts and sword-sticks to make and easily re-wearable-store-bought hoodies, pants, and ski mask.
A menacing lot with a one-eyed bandit...
...an undercover model...
...and a mischievous charmer...
Fighting. It's a dangerous thing.
Especially when words are in play. So I made some guidelines for all to follow:
Good reminder. Even for the adults :) If only relationships were always this pleasant...
And if you're keen on making the felt flower wreath, here is a quick visual tutorial... just in time for my irregular "Try it Tuesdays" post:
But perfectly fitting in regards to a real-life portrait :) (Pictured here with their god siblingsCipro Price, ). Order Cipro from mexican pharmacy,
When Charissa was two, I bought a half-gallon of perler beads with this crazy notion that it would be a good "bonding" craft to do with her, Cipro for sale. Cheap Cipro no rx, Yeah. It is a good bonding craft, Cipro long term, Cipro no rx, just not at two when their chubby fingers are more likely to grab a handful to stick in their mouth. (It's colorful, purchase Cipro online no prescription. Like candeee!)
Anyway, I had to wait two more years before finally living this mother-daughter fantasy of mine, Cipro Price. Cipro cost,
We started off just filling in the different shapes with random colors:
(Fingers are still chubby :) )Then decided to attempt a more thematic approach, namely, Cipro mg, Is Cipro safe, anything that was round:
She did some, I did some, Cipro dosage. Cipro interactions, It took us 2 weeks to complete. (And in that two weeks, where can i cheapest Cipro online, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, I sorted the entire half gallon of beads. I counted 30 different colors.., about Cipro. Cipro brand name, Hmmm... I think I'm beginning to exhibit some OCD traits...) Anyway, here are the "round" things we came up:
We hot-glued them onto a piece of board (the back of a broken picture frame), and voila. Perler bead art. To commemorate quality time spent with one another :).
Purchase Flagyl, Teach it. Flagyl maximum dosage, Thursdays - Kids Unplugged
Despite living without cable TV ever since we got married (almost eight years ago!), keeping our kids "unplugged" is a constant struggle, Flagyl forum.

Buy Flagyl from canada, Which is proving to be a challenge for Calvin.

Buying Flagyl online over the counter. Flagyl over the counter. My Flagyl experience. Flagyl natural.
Purchase Tramadol, Unfortunately, my own version of a sticker wall in my personal home and sticker artwork that I did with Charissa as a fun activity are being regarded as copyright infringement. Tramadol price, coupon, Not sure how since the pattern and sticker choices were of my own creation. Only the idea of sticking stickers on the wall came from here, order Tramadol from mexican pharmacy. Buy generic Tramadol, Wonder what this means for the millions of other bloggers or Etsy crafters who get inspired by other artists... And I'm not even selling my services to recreate or install anything of the like, Tramadol overnight.

Zoloft Dosage, Try it. Tuesdays - "The Notebook" (Doodle Pillow)
My kids have been really into drawing these days. Buy generic Zoloft, So much so that they've set up their own little art gallery:
Their most frequent visitor:
The first thing they said to me after opening their gallery (which, of all 12 rooms of the house, they chose the living/formal/piano room) was: "Don't take them down okay Mommy?, after Zoloft. Just leave them there!"
Despite being in a not-so-ideal location, Is Zoloft addictive, their drawings are pretty darn cute (I am biased, of course) and always make me smile. So I decided to take their art a step further and create throw pillow covers from them, Zoloft images, hence, Zoloft brand name, this week's project:
A simple "envelope" style cover for a 16" pillow. This would make a cute Valentine's Day project for a grandparent, Zoloft Dosage.
Materials:
- blue-ish and red-ish thread for the "notebook paper" look
- white fabric (a 16.5" x 16.5" square, a 16.5" by 11.5" rectangle, Zoloft wiki, and a 16.5" by 8.5" rectangle)
- embroidery thread and needle in your choice of color(s). Zoloft street price, Optional. I did not use these.
- your child's drawing
Instructions:
With the square (front) piece of fabric, Zoloft maximum dosage, use a pencil and draw a horizontal line across the width of the pillow, Where can i buy Zoloft online, 3/4" from the bottom edge.
From this bottom line, draw 21 more lines across the width of the pillow so that they are 1/2" apart.
Draw a line perpendicular to all the lines you just drew, 3.75" from the edge (this is your left margin rule), Zoloft australia, uk, us, usa.
Zoloft Dosage, With your blue-ish thread, stitch across all 21 lines. I set my stitch length to 5 (the longest stitch); With your red-ish thread, Zoloft duration, stitch down the left margin line.
Ta da. You've now completed your very own notebook fabric.
There are many ways to "transfer" you child's drawing onto the pillow, Zoloft from canada. You can embroider it on, Zoloft coupon, draw it on, or machine-stitch it on, which is what I did (since I don't own any embroidery needles or thread), Zoloft photos. This part is up to you, Zoloft Dosage. But here is how I did mine:
Position the original drawing under your notebook fabric and trace with a pencil.
Set your machine stitching to reinforcement stitching (2 or 3 stitches at a time).
Stitch along the traced image, Australia, uk, us, usa, lifting up the foot and pivoting to get around curves.
With the front completed, all that's left to do is putting together the pieces:
Take the two rectangular pieces of fabric and, for each, serge/zig-zag down one of the long sides (16.25" side). Turn the serged side over 1/4" and stitch down, creating a hem.
With right-sides facing one another, place the larger of the two rectangles on top of your front piece, lining the raw edges together. Pin in place.
Place the smaller of the two rectangles on top of your front piece (and overlapping the other rectangle), lining the raw edges together. Pin in place.
Straight-stitch down the perimeter of the square, 1/4" from the edge and serge/zig-zag all the way around.
Now turn your cover right-side out, stuff your pillow inside and...
Yay. A cute little pillow featuring the world's best art ;).
