On Walk this morning....

Little tiny baby bird in there...touched beaks with juvenile, while walking about with Mom or Dad. Thickly green...saw 5 little ones..different parents.

Scarf into Top

Take a scarf, sew ends together, leaving 12-14" for head to fit through and scarf side to sit on shoulders. Kind of a cape, kind of a top.

Mickey Mouse Disneyland Skirt made from Tee Shirt

Saw a well worn Disneyland tee shirt...their classic font......and knew what I had to do.
M-I-C-K-E-Y....

a. Cut across top for straight-ish line.
b. Cut off sleeves.
c. Sew side seams..which really just closes up the holes you made by cutting the sleeves off the
    body...it make a little funky side seaming, but looks like an arrow in a way.  The seam stops at low      hip  (where the cut from the sleeve was), as this tee was circular (no side seams).
d. Cut sleeves in half, sew strips together lengthwise to form waistband for elastic/drawstring.
    You could just fold over the top of the tee, but I wanted "Disneyland" a little lower on the body,
    so I needed to add some "length" via the top to drop the word down.
e. Sew waistband strip to top of tee.
f. Insert elastic or drawstring.
g. Smile.

Found another one...did it again. This time, pictures of process.

Antenna for Positive Hat

Have a friend with whom I was joking with about his somewhat verbal observation of the things that are wrong rather than things that are right / ok/ good.  Suggested he put his personal antenna up for taking in the positive. He got it right away, and subsequently has put his finger up from his head when he catches himself headed down a negative path.

This hat will serve as a reminder -- a training cap.   Happiness, sunshine, assorted "good" things that have brought joy even just for moments..  Of course, we should encourage each other to do it without the hat -- register the positive and internalize it, but that seems to be easier for some than for others.

Sew with felt..hand stitch and machine.
