Pink is the Thing! (Wedding Trend 2014)

Have you all been watching the Olympics?  I love it all, however I must admit ice skating is my FAVORITE, whether it be singles, pairs, or ice dancers. Did you notice all the sumptuous pink costumes on the female ice dancers?

Thank You Nathalie Pechalat for wearing delicate little ribbons tied onto your arms. Your skating is a joy to watch.

Congratulations to Davis and White on their Gold Medal Performance.

And while we're on the subject, the Huffington Post Weddings has listed a new wedding trend as, you guessed it, pale, blush, luscious pink for wedding gowns, bridesmaids, and or ribbon sashes.

Simple Fun Valentine's Day T-Shirt for Girls

This is a fun and simple craft to add interest to a t-shirt.

Equipment needed:

• Sharp scissors
• An iron
• Heat n Bond (purchase from craft store)
• An assortment of at least three ribbons of varied widths
• 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardboard for your heart template
• An old towel
• Glue dots

suggested ribbons:
    grosgrain pinks (tulip and azelea)
    lt. pink Swiss mini dots
    white with pink argyle ribbon
    

1. Cut your ribbons ribbons to slightly overlap your piece of cardboard.   
    Note: I made two hearts fit on my cardboard template 
    
2. Cut a piece of Heat n Bond to size of the ribbons. Press ribbons onto Heat n Bond according to directions (paper down rough side up ) Protect your ironing board with old cotton cloth or tea towel while you do apply the Heat n Bond.
 Hint:  I use glue dots to hold ribbon in place until I have one end of ribbons pressed and attached.

3. Trace shape of design (hearts) onto the back (paper side)

4. Cut out shape and remove paper --now you may press and or stitch your hearts onto the t-shirt.

  
Think Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day with shades of green combo, then comes the Easter Eggs!
