In The Pink

Pink is about the only common thread in this post today! 

I feel like I’ve been in a bit of a funk project-wise.  I really want to work on some things, but just don’t have the energy or enthusiasm right now. I have some projects in the works for this summer, the patio I already told you about, as well as some updates to our main/guest bathroom.  I’ve been trying to get to a sign for the past couple of weeks and the wood plaque I bought for it is too small, so it’s back to the store on that.  I hope to have that done and posted about by later this week/early next week. 

Meanwhile, I did pick up two plain t-shirts while at Hobby Lobby buying the wrong size piece of unfinished wood.  They are XS for the granddaughter.  She was with me and we also picked out two iron-on appliques of her choice.  Simple enough to do and would make for a nice coordinated outfit if you don’t sew or don’t feel like you are crafty. 

On the white tee I used this pink ballerina dress, crown, and ballet shoes {$4.49}.  I placed them in this order, as if they were being worn, and followed the simple directions for ironing them onto the shirt.

The second tee is pink and my granddaughter picked out this pair of fairies {it was two to a package for $2.49}.  I also gave them a random placing and ironed them on. 

I think with inexpensive kids’ jeans from Walmart {there is one brand that is $4.88 a pair}, and additional appliques to match the shirts, you could have a cute little outfit for your favorite little one at a reasonable price.

You will be the best Grandma {or in my case, LaLa} ever!

My other pink is the rosebush I planted last year.  I babied it through the hot and humid summer; making sure I watered it everyday. 

I was worried the harsh winter might kill it off, but was relieved to see green and then buds.  At the time you are reading this post, all those buds in the picture have burst forth into blooms! 

Here’s hoping I get out of this funk and get some creating done!
