"We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within." --Stephen Jay Gould, The Mismeasure of Man

Jazzed up shirts for Oliver...
So, we really like shirts from Boden for Oliver...they are cute, stripy things with lots of personality added with appliques but way out of the price range for a 6 year olds wardrobe...Well, with the help of some leftover fabric scraps and fusable interface, I decided just to make my own. $5 Wal-Mart shirts and some fancy stitching later and we've got some shirts he loves to wear. Here they are in all their glory!
Committed to learning and living life to its very fullest, we are a very busy family. I'm the mom to two wonderful, intelligent, clever children: Oliver (7) and Henry (17 months) and I'm married to Ben who is a wonderful father. I'm finishing my PhD in Education with an emphasis in Adolescent Literacy. I like to study writing instruction, specifically, and am especially curious about finding ways to support teachers in their writing instruction so that they can do their job more effectively and efficiently.

I LOVE the shirts you did for Oliver. I will have to do some for Zephyr!
The shirts are great. It's fun to create shirts for them when they love to wear the shirts.
I'm impressed
