Happy New Year...

Really? Has it taken me this long to congratulate you?

oh sorry.

















When Zeke was about 6-7 months I stenciled mustaches one of his onesies turned out spectacular given it was my very first freezer paper stencil.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
Fabric Paint
Sponge brush
Freezer paper
Scissors
Exacto knife
Fabric
Iron

HOW IT WORKS...


Step one
Pick a design you will want on a shirt pants etc.

Step two
draw it on to the matte side of the freezer paper.

Step three
With an exacto knife cut the image out

Step four
Cut a piece of the freezer paper. Size will depend on how big your image will be. This piece will be used for the back part of the fabric so the paint won't bleed through.
The iron it on to the opposite side. the side you don't want to the image to bleed though.

Step five
Iron on the freezer paper stencil. (ALMOST DONE!!)

Step six
With the sponge brush dab the paint onto the fabric. Careful. you don't want to soak the fabric with the paint, this will lead to leaks in the design.

I usually wait a few seconds before i pull of the freezer paper stencil just to make sure the fabric has soaked he paint enough.



Here are my three onesies for zeke bee.

the first chevron leaked a bunch because i wanted to make sure the image was going to be clear. This caused the paint to soak the freezer paper enough to fall apart. :(

Last Minute...

...we decided to get away for the weekend to visit some family in Idaho. Random? Yes! Fun? Oh, yes! My brother in law left this morning for Idaho, and we had to tag along. On cooper's side, great grandma Birdie has not met baby z yet. Even more reason to pack up and drive the long 5 hours with an almost 5 month old.
Even though it might have taken us all day to get ready to leave we did it. We are barely passing Antelope Drive near Clearfield. Still 5 hours to go..
There are a couple of places that are a must to check out while in Boise

Guidos Pizza. Mmm. New York style. The atmosphere is a plus. This is one of the only times we carry cash.

Grape Escape a wine bar, oh they have the best Brie cheese with black currants dip. Water in my mouth!

And to keep you busy I have found an AMAZING blog! Once I bumped into it I immediately got inspired to use my new skill (knitting)
Wee Textiles for all those who have babies, you have to check it out

Rosemary Tofu and Squash Lunch

squash from: Alyson's mama's graden in Tropic, UT
tofu from: Sunflower Market in Orem, UT
rice noodles: Some market in Orem, UT
rosemary: My lovely little garden in Orem, UT (not too much, Fresh rosemary has a strong taste)
REAL SALT (from Heber, UT) buy it.
Kirkland's Pepper (to taste)
Flax Seed Oil (just a little)
Organic Tamari (just a tad)

This dish is suppose to taste like the ingredients you put in it. mmm...Zeke and I enjoyed it.

Eating Healthy, Second Try.

My BUMP 30
Since I have been prego it's been hard for me to keep up with eating healthy, cravings of hamburgers with fatty fries, mayo or fry sauce, just sugar breakfast, sick of chicken days, red meat only sometimes, too much salmon, only pasta dinners or just egg with rice dinners.
Recently I have been feeling nauseous, just like I was in the first trimester. what is going on? Zeke is getting too picky with the food situation. I can no longer eat curries, of any kind.



PineWood Derby Today! Cooper and his friends have set up a pinewood derby. I think I'll through on a collard button up shirt with a fluff skirt.
