Crafsting
Crafsting is when you craft so much that it can be likened to nesting when you are 9 months pregnant. That would be the word I'd use to explain what I've been up to lately. I have been making things as if my next breath depends on it...it's almost a compulsion. Anyway, I decided after checking out the prices of some "cheap" Christmas pj's for the girls, that I could use that money more wisely and kill two birds with one stone. I decided this year not to do Christmas pj's. My kids don't wear pj's for one so it's kind of a waste of money for just one picture. I do still want to get a picture of them by the Christmas tree is something Christmasy and matching so I decided that I'd make them a monogram shirt and a tutu. One tutu will be red and the other green. Then, they will have the opposite color for their monogram. Confused yet? So the pj's I had looked at were going to cost all together $30 and I spent all together on the shirt and tutu for both about $20!!! YEAH!!! And to make it even better, there shirts can be worn at times other than just Christmas and the tutu's can go into the dress up box!!! YEAH again! Anyway, I will post pictures of course when all is finished but here is the finished shirts.

Emma, This is Cindy Hunter, Emily's friend in Searcy. The shirts you made your girls are just precious! I was just wondering where you got the black and white material. I need material like that to make something for my daughter.
Hi cindy! I got the fabric at a local quilt store...if there is a quilt store anywhere near you, you should be able to find something close to that. I don't know the brand of it though?? Good luck!
Emma, I love the shirts. You did a great job.
P. S. Cindy do you think there is a place in Searcy? :)
