Ah, friends. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, re: my humorous and unknowledgeable attempts at video slide show making. While my computer remains on my sh#! list, I did not eat it on a bed of pasta. Yet.
What you are looking at is a photo of Mike's second Father's Day present...a t-shirt personalized by his 8-year old. On a piece of white cotton, which I frayed a bit and then sewed on to a Target t-shirt. I LOVE it. Mike, however, likens it to a piece of apparel that may contain cartoon-cats-with-scary-bug- eyes-wearing-human-clothing, which one might purchase at various gift shops on the Jersey Shore. Or in Appalachia.
Kind of awesome. Kind of awful?
He wore it PROUDLY on Fathers Day, and while I envision wearing it on casual Saturdays when we grab breakfast and run errands, I believe he finds it more appropriate for float-tripping or Six Flags or noodling or growing a mustache or Nascar races or ______________ (insert redneck activity here). Please don't be offended if you like these activities, because rednecks are all kinds of awesome in mullet packaging.
It is REALLY hard to craft for men. And generally goes over with the excitement/enthusiasm one might reserve for watching grass grow.

my hubby feels the same way about crafting. he's impressed that i do it, but doesn't care much about it.
I think it's HILARIOUS that you made him that shirt! I think where you went wrong was in the appliqueing. I think men aren't into embroidery and cuteness on their t-shirts.
I think it's adorable, though. Have her make me one.
I think I didn't say I think enough in that last comment. I think I need to rectify that.
I give him kudos for wearing the shirt on Father's Day. But is it by design that his head is missing from the picture? :)
