Every once in awhile, I see an ad that’s targeting me “on the line” that peaks my interest. I have to say, this ad by a t-shirt company was pretty good as someone over there determined there were enough Sanders (with no “S”!) on Facebook to do an ad that speaks directly to us. The most entertaining part was seeing all the other Sander folks on Facebook liking the ad, although I’m not sure how many t-shirts they actually sold…

a t-shirt quilt

I think the key to having fun while making a tshirt quilt is to be ok that it might not be exactly perfect. They’re tshirts. You wore them and washed them. They have (most likely) never been ironed before. All the designs might be different sizes, or shirts might be different materials. Oh well, it will be absolutely perfect for a picnic outside under a tree. tshirtquilt1

These were tshirts from our time in college. I had to get a little creative to fit the shirts in the right number of squares, so a couple of the squares are combos. This one has the black fabric from our graduation gowns, that I was incredibly scared to iron because it was made from recycled bottles or something like that, and I was convinced it was going to melt. I also needed one more square, so we made a combo square with tshirts from the first places we worked after college.

happiness and headbands

This guy makes me truly happy inside. You know what else makes me happy? This headband I made. Because my hair is always so big and puffy in this weather, and the headband really reins it in. And another thing that makes me happy? The boy that likes my big, fluffy hair.headband

I made the headband using this tutorial, and an old t-shirt. I am going to try another version this weekend.
