"Mommy" Tattoo T-shirt Pillow

Another old t-shirt, one of Jack's that I couldn't bring myself to get rid of, made into a pillow.

And, as an added bonus, a picture of Jack wearing the shirt.  Eleven months old, for "Crazy Hair" day at his daycare, in Lathrop, California.  Absolutely precious.

Cowgirl T-Shirt Pillow

I made a t-shirt pillow for Jack years ago (see it here), but just recently made one to for Kate's bed. The original idea came from this blog post. We used a glow-in-the-dark Yosemite shirt that we'd picked up at a gift shop when we lived near there.  Maggie had outgrown the shirt, and it wasn't one I wanted to get rid of.  Such a fun project... and it takes about fifteen minutes.  Just sew up the neck, sleeves, and bottom, leaving a portion open at the bottom.  Stuff it, and then sew that last portion shut.

"La Fleur" Playmat

I made this "La Fleur" playmat when Kate was a baby (after purchasing the pattern from this website).  I finished it right as she began crawling at eight months (of course!).  So, considering that fact, and all the effort I put into it, the playmat has never actually been a "playmat"... but a wall hanging instead.

Look at how cute Kate was!  Those eyes!

The playmat's actually had quite a journey.  We moved from California two-and-a-half years ago, and stopped in Idaho to visit my family for two months before coming to New Mexico.  Sometime during that trip, a jar of tahini burst open in the little trailer we were pulling behind the van and spilled on the playmat.  Try as I might, I never fully removed the stain.  And, since Kate's sharing a room with Jack, the playmat is hanging in Maggie's room for now.

"Captain" T-Shirt Pillow

Craftbits.com has fun craft projects for all different skill levels. This is one of my favorite projects that I found, and so incredibly easy! It's a great way to use an old t-shirt that you just don't want to get rid of. In our case, one of Jack's outgrown tees was the perfect test subject. Now I want a whole bedful of T-shirt pillows!
