Today is Christmas for is and I'm ready! We celebrate at my brother's house and it's a real treat to be around his and Karen's grandkids for the holidays. I got all the gifts packed last night after a couple of last tasks. This stack is for my brother. He likes the hand dyed t-shirts so I keep some around all the time and use the shirts for my leftover dyes. I've got 6 new long-sleeved shirts for him that I've been slowly dyeing for several months. I'll go and buy a pack of short sleeved ones next. This is actually the first gravity dye that I did and I really like it a lot. I think it's my favorite of the group. I then printed his logo on the back of all 6. The screen printing had mixed results as I was trying different inks and techniques. He just wears them mostly around the house so he won't mind the ones with not-quite-perfect prints. The last task was to print off some heat transfer vinyl names for the kids. They can decide this afternoon if they want their names on one or 2 of their shirts. Ella's are really pink and purple (not red and blue) to match her sweatshirt. She'll have extras if she wants to put them on something else.
I've got to make cookies this morning and then we should have a fun afternoon. Next week I get to start quilting the Fab Farm quilt and I get to make a baby version of Fab Farm for my cousin's new grandson due in May.
