Crafty Nerdiness
Sometimes I just can't help myself
Every once in a while I acknowledge the fact that I am, indeed, a girl. On those rare occasions, I wear dresses and makeup, try not to arm wrestle boys, and even (gasp)... bake. Please don't yell at me for gender stereotyping.
Tomorrow, we're having a baby shower at work for a co-worker and his wife. Seeing as how they've already received pretty much everything they registered for, I thought I'd get a little creative.
Behold, the SiteCrafting Onesie:
I am so tickled by this-- you have no idea.

 by Mandiferous on 8/26/2008 @ 9:56pm | Thanks. Thank heavens I bought a 4-pack.
The first one looked a bit like a horror movie. |
 by jcbetty on 8/26/2008 @ 9:59pm | oh hell and crap, we need to get together. Cuz you know I'm all about that girlie (in a non-gender stereotype sort of way) crap. Totally. Let's do a girly crafty party. Uh huh.
(very cute onesie, btw. :) ) |

I just wish it was good for more than one application. Meh. |
 by KevinFreitas on 8/27/2008 @ 8:52am | That's super awesome work nerdy! So how exactly did you accomplish this? Is it ironed on completely or something more like a sewn on patch? |
by Mandiferous on 8/27/2008 @ 8:59am | The stencil was freezer paper, and then I just dabbed screen print ink onto it 3 or 4 times, set it with a hair dryer and voila!
