i have to admit –  i’m proud of my first proper screen printing work. no there is nothing grand about it, the images are quiet simple, the technique was not complex but regardless it is mine. actually, my original plans for these images where to be postcards, i was going to print on the back of them as well and send them to people i know (because who doesn’t love snail mail?). but as i started printing it became tricky with all the measuring and registering – so i decided to just print. i tried to cut them and use them as card, but the sizes came out all funky. so until i have a brainstorm of an idea they will sit and remain my masterpiece of the day.

saturday was the perfect day to celebrate a good friend’s up coming arrival of baby #2. she gave us strict instruction - simple . we were more than happy to oblige because who doesn’t want to celebrate a new little one? so we gather a few dear friends, some good good food and a little crafting energy, and from the mouth of the honored guest, she declared it “the best baby shower” she has had! success, i tell you!

we freezer-stenciled out little hearts out and sent her home with a handful of baby onesies, which I am sure will come in handy with for this summer babe born into the kansas heat. can i tell you how much i love freezer-stenciling? so so much. it’s almost too good to be true. any craft project that can be completed in under an hour, allow complete creative freedom and includes ink  - i give five stars.
