Anyway, I've been cranking out stencils for my etsy shop and was asked to make a custom Han Solo stencil, which turned out great. Here is the test print before I shipped the stencil.

Custom Han Solo Stencil
So, it seems I took the entire summer off from blogging. It wasn't on purpose, I promise. I seriously have 6 posts waiting to be posted, but I never got around to adding pictures to them. Summer is always a little hectic around here.
Anyway, I've been cranking out stencils for my etsy shop and was asked to make a custom Han Solo stencil, which turned out great. Here is the test print before I shipped the stencil.

Sleeping Beauty Costume
I've been meaning to post this forever! I made my daughter a Sleeping Beauty costume for Disney World. She hates itchy fabric and most of the princess dresses have some sort of tulle or scratchy fabric. She loves the dresses, but won't wear them more than an hour. I had scheduled her to go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and then we were going to go eat dinner with Cinderella afterwards. I wanted her to be comfortable.
I found a fantastic pattern via pinterest. Crafterhours made a cute little sleeping beauty dress with the pattern by indietutes. I did make my dress separate pieces. It's a shirt, skirt and belt. Here she is at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique all dolled up.

Digital Paintings
I started experimenting with Digital Paintings. It takes me a good amount of time to do a painting and I figured if I could draw it on the ipad I could produce them multiple times much quicker and for less. I've only done a few, but here is one I drew of my daughter on the ipad and then printed it out with my printer.

Prince Charming
We made our first trip to Disney World this last week and I made this cute prince charming shirt for my little guy. We were having dinner with Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Stepsisters and the Fairy Godmother. Prince Charming really liked his shirt and came to talk to us for a little while. Then Cinderella came over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. It was adorable.
For this project I used a white t-shirt. I wanted it to be comfortable for him. I added navy knit on the shoulders and trimmed it out with gold fringe. I sewed gold buttons down the front and then sewed grosgrain ribbon on for the belt.

Custom Stencils
I've received a few pictures from some happy customers that were pleased with how their custom stencil came out. I wanted to share them with you.
Here is one I made to represent the Wisconsin Badgers.
This onesie is a lion with ADPi Legacy stenciled at the top.

Dr. Seuss
This past week the kids at school celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday. I made a Cat in the Hat cookie cake. I had no idea how tricky it was to make a cookie cake so I made one earlier in the week as practice. There's plenty of recipes out there with tips on how they made it. After trying the first cookie cake I ended up finding what worked for me.
I made it from scratch using the toll house recipe. Shocking, right? You could always use the pre-made dough too. Some people recommended adding a 1/4 cup of corn syrup to it to make it more of a soft bake cookie, but this caused more problems for me when cooking it. My suggestion is to stick to the toll house recipe and get a cookie sheet that is approximately 12 x 18 and line it with parchment paper. It's so much easier to remove the cookie if it's on parchment paper. I did not double the recipe. One batch is enough and you need to spread it out really thin anyway to allow for it to cook evenly. That was my mistake with the first cookie. I put it in a smaller pan and it took forever to cook. You definitely need to watch the cookie. I put the oven on 325 degrees and the timer set for 15 minutes then I checked it and added a few more minutes each time till it was just right. You definitely don't want to under-cook it or over-cook it.
Once it was cool I used buttercream frosting to make the Cat in the Hat. The kids loved it. A trick on cutting the cookie is to use a pizza cutter. It made it so easy to slice up and serve.
