A Slight Detour

Yesterday as I was working on my hubby's Father's Day card I glanced to my left and saw the fabric that my adorable grandson David had picked out (at a recent fabric shopping trip with his mommy) for "Nan Nan" to sew him a shirt. And since I was plannning a trip out to Irvine to see the little guy today I felt a slight detour from card making was in order. So here is the little t-shirt I made yesterday. It took about 30 minutes to sew and cost less than $1.50 to make. The fabric is so cute it has cement mixer trucks and dump trucks on it. David LOVES trucks! There is a very cool discount fabric store close by called M & L yardage. I didn't have the ribbing I needed for the neck so I "recycled" the black ribbing from a t-shirt of my own that I never wear. Like my oldest grandson always tells me...."Nana, we need to recycle".

And so it begins.....

I guess you're never too old to learn some new tricks. Today, at the ripe age of 49 I am jumping into the world of blogging. I have been so inspired by so many truely talented and wonderful women who are willing to share their lives and talents with the rest of us that I decided to start a blog of my own. Whether or not anyone ever reads it besides me is yet to be seen. I'm hoping that perhaps my ramblings would be interesting to my grandchildren one day. I would have loved to know what my grandmother did and thought about. I'm working on a Father's Day card for my hubby this afternoon, so when it's done, I'll post a photo.
