R2D2 shirt

I got fan mail! Sort of. I got a lovely comment last year about an R2D2 costume I made for my son Asher, but I didn't realize it until like May because I had somehow inactivated "notify me of comments" or whatever that is called.

I would have loved to have made a similar costume for the woman's son, but various things are keeping me from that. In any case, I present the simplest thing EVER: The R2D2 shirt. Made from a plain white T (thank you, Michaels -- or is it Michael's?) and fabric markers.

My boys both want one now. Damn it! I need to hide these things better!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hat/mask combo

I used the idea from a Craftster post that I can't find right now. Argh! (Just search for teenage mutant ninja turtle mask on the crochet board.) I didn't use the woman's pattern. I just did dc in a round until I got to the eye holes, then sl st through to make the eye holes. I went long in the back so that I could tie the ends in a knot like a regular mask would actually do. I had to test-fit it as I went, and then when it was done, I realized it fit a 3 year old and a 35 year old pretty much the same. Gotta love dc.
