Three cheers for a China shirt

1.15.11

I’d like to say this post is all about showing off Lydia’s cuteness. But, it’s not. I’m totally proud of myself for making this totally cute shirt for the Lyds. And, yes, I’m showing it off. Seriously–it’s so darn cute.

She even thought it was neat and tried to kiss China. (She’s all about kissing everything right now….plastic bugs, stuffed animals, dogs in a commercial on tv, her bottle, her blanket….)

Alright, so maybe she thought her belly button was more interesting.

A picture showing the tee off better…and the pez candy we bribed her with to get her to stay still for a nanosecond for a picture.
I made a tee for me too with China sorta on the hip part of the shirt to wear in Disney on Chinese New Year. I’m thinking about putting something on China where Lydia is from—a stitched heart, a button….ideas?

    Love this! How’d you do it?! You must fill me in on the secret :-) I really dig the stitched heart idea, just too cute!

    Very cute. I think the stitched heart would be perfect! Did you use the iron-on transfer paper that you can print on from your computer?

    How about your friend, Michele? How about making HER a shirt to wear at Disney? Now, there’s an idea.

    Lydia is so cute, I can hardly stand it. I’ve got dibs on the seat next to her at dinner. Just sayin…

    Great idea! I think a little heart button sewed onto her hometown would be great. Did you just buy black iron on decal and cut it out in the right shape or did you use the ink printer cartidges for T-shirts?

    Good job! Super cute. Yes…a heart would be adorable. I’ve seen these for sale on other blogs/etsy…they were expensive!

    I am so impressed with your creativeness!! I think a heart or her initials would be cute on it. Be sure to post a picture of the two of you with your China shirts.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
