Custom Designed Jeep T-Shirts

I'm sharing some t-shirts Tom designed and made for us. We both drive Jeeps as well do our son, his wife, and one of our daughters. My Jeep is orange (Wrangler Sahara), and Tom's (Gladiator - truck version for those not familiar) is gray that he wrapped parts in Army green vinyl with some designs he created.

I'll share that with you another day.

Tom created the phrase as well as the artwork for the Jeep cut outs. He's so talented! This was all cut with the Cricut and heat pressed with the Cricut press.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs!

Have a blessed day!

Crochet Kitty Blanket

I created a little blanket for our kitty, Dani Rojas. The yarn was purchased at The Dollar Tree (gotta love that).

I used a simple Granny Square pattern (my favorite). This is the kind of pattern I can watch TV and crochet at the same time. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hugs!

Have a blessed day!

T-Shirt Fun

 I love it when Tom & I make t-shirts. I miss our t-shirt shop (Southern way of saying Store). Even though we no longer have the shop, we still make shirts for ourselves now and then. Here's one we made last weekend. I love it.

I picked a font I liked and typed it in Cricut Design Space then cut it out. Tom is the expert on centering and heat pressing them. We used to have the professional equipment at the shop, but sold all of that when we closed it up. Now we use the Cricut to cut and the Cricut Heat Press. We still have our professional die cutter, but for just a simple t-shirt, the Cricut works just as good.

I have some more t-shirts to share with you we've make lately. I'll try to get some photos of them and post later this week.

And tomorrow I have a crochet kitty blanket I made for Dani Rojas to show you. Hope you'll visit again then.

Hugs!

Have a blessed day,

:) Janis

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday!!

I was going to make a year in review bullet list, but decided that would be way too boring for you. LOL I am proud to say, since our family went whole foods plant based (with a cheat day now and then) I have lost over 50 pounds in the last couple of years. Really close to 60 gone, but just a few pounds more to go for that. I should have already reached it last month, but our cheat days have been more frequent. Oopsie.

Here's a pocket letter based on things starting with the Letter F.

I had a really hard time getting this going with ideas, but I'm very happy with how it turned out! If you enjoy swapping pocket letters (and live in the USA), let me know! Maybe we can swap some time.

• Flowers
• Friends
• Furry Friends
• Fountain

• Fence
• Fox

All cuts from Cricut

I'm really enjoying creating more Pocket Letters again. I haven't done these in a while. The Facebook groups for swapping Pocket Letters are so fun and encouraging! If you are in one, leave a comment below so I can check out the group.

Again, since I was creating one for a swap,  I went ahead and created 2 alike so that I can have one for reference or to use in the need of a quick pre-made pocket letter for another swap.

Pet Themed Mini Pocket Letter

Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have a simple project to share with you!

This is a Mini Pocket Letter with a Pet theme for a swap I'm in. The back of the pockets have a few goodies in them like ribbon, buttons, flowers, stickers, and mini bows.

While I had all of my supplies out, I went ahead and made 2 of these exactly alike. One to mail for the swap, and one for future reference or in case I need a mini pocket letter in a hurry.

I love the cat theme!

I used my Cricut to print and cut out all of the designs.

wood painted buttons, enamel buttons
