Custom Sacred Heart Shirt

6/26/2019

0 Comments

 
​I recently purchased a Sacred Heart shirt on Amazon and I was disappointed with the way that it fit. I ordered my normal size, read the reviews and thought I made the right choice. Well, it got here and I tried it on and immediately returned it. I also recently designed a shirt on Zazzle that I have been wanting for years, along, with a special shirt for Jack’s upcoming birthday, so I decided to make my version of a Sacred Heart shirt; one that would hopefully fit better.
Once I was satisfied with my custom design and made sure I was getting the correct size, I placed the order.
I was really happy with the results of my custom shirt and looking forward to wearing it on the Feast of the Sacred Heart. It just goes to show you if Amazon doesn’t have what you want, just make it!

Ghostbusters Cake

​This fun cake is why I love making cakes! I love trying to figure out new things and reusing some classic tricks. The rather simple cake is covered in white fondant with a red ribbon fondant on the bottom. Next, I cut out a large circle using the same red fondant and tacked it in place with sugar water.

To create the ghost I printed out the logo using regular printer paper. I cut out white fondant under the printed image using a detail knife. I then cut the center out for the cross out and glued in place with the sugar water. I completed the logo by using black food coloring and a little white writing icing to black out the background and adding the details to the face. The cake was finished by adding some of Slimmer’s green slime that I made by boiling corn syrup with a little leaf green food coloring for a few minutes. By boiling the syrup it made the slime dry harder instead of just staying syrupy and making a mess.

The cake came out so awesome and I love doing things that let my geeky side shine!

Mama's Main Squeeze T-Shirt

6/1/2019

My birthday is coming up and you know that means a fun themed party! This year’s theme is lemons because I’m not bitter about turning 35! I bought myself the perfect lemon skirt and even decorated the house with lemon décor, including a DIY wreath and fun pillows. I even made a few lemon signs. I wanted Andrew to wear a cute lemon shirt that said “Mama’s Main Squeeze”. The problem I was I found several cute ones but couldn’t find any in navy one to match me.

I finally gave up and ordered a plain navy shirt from Amazon to make my own. Typical right? I found a lemon clip art I liked online and inserted it into a Word document. I know there is actual design software, but this works for me without any additional costs. To create the wording I just used the Word art feature, I picked the style I wanted and typed out “Mama’s Main Squeeze” then fitted inside of the lemon. I printed the image on iron-on transfer paper and let the ink dry overnight. Next, I cut the image out and peeled off the packing before positioning it on the shirt. I covered with a thin scrap of cotton fabric and ironed in place with the iron on the cotton setting. Once the front was cooled I flipped the shirt over and ironed the back for a few seconds.
​
As simple as that Andrew is ready to party!
