Homemade Mickey Tees

With two days to go (TWO DAYS!!!! EEEEE!) I tried to make myself a "Mickey" tee.  I picked out some fabric and Heat N Bond Ultrahold on Mother's Day that matched a tank I already had on hand.  I picked out a Mickey head by Googling "Mickey Mouse silhouette".  I saved it as a picture so I could imported it into Publisher.

There's a big one for me and a little for Evie. I printed them out after I adjusted the size to what I wanted.  I cut the paper Mickey and traced them with pencil on the wrong side of the fabric.

I then followed the directions on the Heat N Bond and basically made a giant iron on patch.



Evie's shirt without stitching.



I started with my shirt first just in case it didn't work.  I ironed on the patch and then sat down to my sewing machine and did a zig zag/applique stitch all the way around.  I messed up a bit at the corners but then when I tried to fix them up, my machine decided to die.  So Evie doesn't get to have hers appliqued but we'll see how having just the Heat N Bond will hold up.

You'll have to wait and see what they look like in action next week!

What I did today!

I made this:

Look like this:

Normally I make the girls help but it was out of control!  And I was on a mission to find articles dirty clothing that my daughter stashes in random places.  She has a hamper but it doesn't help. :)

In other news, as Bree mentioned the other day, my family is getting ready to go on our first family vacation and it's to Disneyland!!!  I am so excited!  We will be celebrating my mom's 50th Birthday while we are there and having lunch with Ariel for Evie.  My girl love her some Little Mermaid!  She's crazy for Ariel.

My list of things to get done before we go:

Straighten garage

Swap Fridgerators

Straighten my bedroom

Scrub down the bathrooms

Scrub down the kitchen

Put away the Easter decorations

Put up some Memorial Day decorations

Finish my garden

Clean Evie's room

Mop my entire house

Finish up some projects

Pack our bags

These are thing in addition to my daily duties and getting ready for a birthday party when we get home for Miss Ally.  I have to straighten the garage so that we can swap our working fridgerator with the non-working one in my kitchen.  We have a house sitter and I don't want to be all ghetto with my fridges even though I've been living like this for 2 weeks.  I can't wait for VACATION!!!
