It’s been a week since Project Run and Play ended and I already miss it! I loved being challenged to make something new each week with a different theme. I didn’t win but I had so much fun and still can’t believe I made it to the finals with Katy and Kelly! Here was Katy’s winning look in the final challenge….amazing:
Here’s a look back at the looks I created…click on the photos to see the original posts:

Alexander McQueen inspired
“Annie Hall” inspired

Li’l Mod Rockwell
Boo was my ultimate judge….she loved all the looks. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Thanks everyone for following the contest and helping to vote! Micalah put a ton of work into it and all the other designers really brought it each week! It rocked.
A big bucket of goodies for our dear friend Jackie who is having a baby boy soon! It turned out so cute I thought I would share some gift ideas:
“Big” and “Li’l” t-shirts, one for big sister and one for the new baby brother:
The shirts were silk screened using the contact-paper method (click here to find the full tutorial for the method):
We added an upcycled pair of baby pants. These were made from a golf shirt and I added some cute truck trim to the bottom. (You can make a similar pair using elastic for the waist using the Recycle T-shirt Gauchos Tutorial.)
A pair of upcycled baby booties to match the pants (free pattern from Michael Miller):
We added in some new blankets, toys and this fun book The New Dad from A to Z by friend Dan Consiglio (also the author of the hilarious blog What my Kid’s Art Says). Dan’s book is the perfect gift to add for a dad because of its offbeat humor.
I love an eclectic mix of new and upcycled gifts!
