King of Pop.

R.I.P Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

Most Successful Entertainer of All Time. Musical icon loved by many, hated by some. CNN's headline said "Jackson dies and almost takes internet with him" - wow!!. A great singer who dominated the 80's with his music, dance and performance. He gave his all on stage and helping the less fortunate. He made songs about charity, love and brotherhood. Let's not focus on the negative and use the positive in his music to spread a message of Peace and Love through out this world. Tragic shocking death indeed. We will all miss you MJ, may flights of angels wing you to your rest. MJ, the voice of peace and unity, his legacy will live forever. .
Deepest condolences to his family.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to everyone, I hope you all spent it with that special man. I sure did, and it was a lot of fun. I surprised Daddy with a handmade tie shirt that matched my son's onesie, it was the cutest thing and everyone loved it! And since he is a WoW addict, I created a special World of Warcraft greeting card.
We spent Father's Day with his family at a restaurant in Dobb's Ferry. After we were done with them, we went to go visit my Dad and spent the entire evening with him.

Here is how I created these cute tees. I first picked out the fabric I wanted to use, drew out the tie size I wanted on cardstock, then cut out the ties and the fabric. I used fusible web to be able to draw and stick the fabric easier to the shirt. After ironing the fabric to the fusible web, I drew on the back side of the fabric which is now attached to the web with a paper backing. I then cut it out and ironed it to the shirt. For added durability, I hand stitched the outlinie of the ties. Over time, the edges of the appliqué may fray but this only complements the look of the original design, giving it uniqueness.

If anyone is interested in getting a custom order like this, or a WoW greeting card, you may check out my shop www.daintycreations.etsy.com

What do YUDU?

This year I treated myself to a YUDU screen printer. I love it. I've been a member of www.yuduforums.com since before I decided to actually purchase the machine. It's a great place to research on the product and it's full of helpful and happy members. I highly suggest it for anyone interested in purchasing a YUDU machine.

Well, in mid-april the forums decided to hold a T-shirt Design Contest. Of course I entered and came in Third place, wooot. It was really fun. The winners are pictured above, my entry is the last one, 3rd place!

I designed a baby onesie. I did the actual design by hand with a permanent marker on a transparent sheet for the screen printing process. I first cut out the basinet on cardstock, and traced it on a fabric, cut it out, and hand sewn it to the onesie. I then screen printed my design on the onesie, in black and yellow ink. This was a fun project.

1st Place Prize:
• (2) Yudu 110 Screens
• (10) Emulsion Sheets

New Craft Room

So the past few days I've been moving to my new craft room. It was my son's room. He is now 22 months old. The room was always empty, and was only used when visitors stood the night. My previous craft space was a walk-in closet in my dining room area. Eventually, all my crafting needs got moved out to the dining room table. As any crafter knows, when crafting the mess is inevitable. And since I was crafting everyday, everyday the mess was there. Being that I have a toddler, it was hard and annoying to stay on top of everything that can be within reach of his little exploring hands. So hubby told me to take over his room, at first I said no because it's HIS room, after a little arm twisting he convinced me to move in. And here I am typing from it, though it's still in the works. When everything is done and ready I will post up pictures of the whole process.

I am currently working on a wall calendar. Should be fun. :D.

Happy Scramping.
