Use the Force

Father's Day is almost over. Whew. I'm so glad because it means that I won't be the only one changing dirty diapers tomorrow. Or will I?

Friday I made my usual Father's Day shirts for the girls to wear to the Astros game. Damion really liked them and I think they turned out super cute. If only the Astros would have gotten the message that there was a game and showed up to the game it would have been a great night!

I used a freezer paper stencil for Darth Vader and then used my embroidery machine for the script. Princess Girly Girl requested a pink bow for Darth Vader, not in her hair.. but on Darth Vader himself.  Hmm... I decided against that one and she was a little mad.

For Damion's actual gift I made something that I promised to make him last year. Procrastination is my second language.

It's a Star Wars tool belt to wear when he builds me stuff.

I again used a freezer paper stencil for Darth Vader and the script.

Darth Vader is on a reverse applique.

Damion claims that he may not even use it though because I put the girls hand prints and names on the back and he doesn't want to mess them up.

I can't believe how well all the Father's Day projects turned out. The tool belts and shirts came out better than I had hoped for and I had no major bloopers. Can you believe it? I can't.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.... especially to my hunk of burning love. You are the best dad and I love you.
