SPRING!!!

Man, it's finally here. Yesterday it was in the 60s, today it's mid-50s and we spent a good portion of it outside. We were supposed to have a playdate this morning so we went to the park (no one showed) and played for 45min or so. It was a little chilly because the clouds took our sun away. It brightened up this afternoon and we spent another 2 hours at the park behind our house. Both kids are sleeping soundly right now. Yes!



So I said I was going to make a shirt, well here it is:

It was pretty fun to make, to create something different. The boot prints go around the back and back to the tent. It's size 6-8 children's. Being from Minnesota I especially appreciate the mosquitoes. :)


I want to try lino-printing. You make printing blocks out of linoleum tiles and use them on textiles (as if I need another hobby). There are a few good tutorials out there, a really good one on Jezze's blog. I think I need a few tools before I can do it effectively, and right now I'm holding out for dh to make me a couple swifts (especially after all the wrangling I did today to get Retro skeined properly) so the tools will have to wait. *sigh*
