Episode 26 - Crafty People Are Super Nice

This guy has the best dance moves

Busy weekend filled with running errands, meeting up with friends, and attending a wedding! Kids had a blast on the dance floor - Emily so much she got a small blister on her foot.

This weeks episode we talk podcast news, knitting, sewing, spinning, stash (seriously - crafty people are super nice), and a short week in review. Once again, crazy iphone recording system is pretty flawed, but thankfully with a little video editing, it's not all that bad.

Hope everyone has a great week! Come stop in our Ravelry group to chat, introduce yourself and join our giveaway. Hope to see you there.

Mini-Episode 2 - Spray Bleach T-Shirt Tutorial

Hello! Welcome to another "mini" episode of The CATT Lady Podcast. Today I demonstrate how to spray bleach a silhouette onto a dark t-shirt.

As I mentioned in Episode 6, I saw a really cool craft project going on at the local library for "Star Wars Day". I walked up and asked if I could join in, but you needed to bring your own t-shirt. So instead, I asked if I could take a stencil home with me and create it myself later!

I am very pleased with the results, and it was quite fun. I already bought two more plain shirts to make a couple more. I'll be sure to show those off when they are completed in the near future.

R2D2 and C3PO

So check out how I created this fun and one of a kind t-shirt!

****************

So I accidentally chopped off my thumb chopping tomatoes for dinner last night. Went to the urgent care and luckily my smart husband grabbed the ever so disgusting missing piece, through it on ice and gave it the doctor. They have reattached it, but it's a 50/50 chance wether or not it will take. I head to my primary care tomorrow to see how it is doing - wish me luck!

So no knitting for a bit and even sewing is going to be a challenge. I have a few things I HAVE to finish as mentioned in the podcast, so here's hoping the rest of the week goes smoothly.

Thumbs up!!
