Another Cheer Athletics Shirt

Tonight is another Cheer Athletics class. The picture below is the second finished shirt for Laci to wear. I think it is cute! I love polka dots. They are my favorite! Below I need some advice for another shirt.

Ok, so another one I am experimenting with is the yo-yo's. I love the shirt that Anne over at Anne's Antics did during her Mother's Day post. It has yo-yo's and they were made into flowers. So last week we got a "warning" on the fact that the CA logo is copyrighted. Let me state.... I am NOT going to be selling any items with CA logo or words. Since Laci isn't on team yet we don't have to buy all the gear that is required, and all the shirts & shorts they have is going to swamp the child since we are in a 2T-3T and the smallest they have is an XXS Shorts and a XS Shirt. I had already done the above shirt before the warning, but for the rest of the shirts we are thinking of going a little more plain with words like Cheer and Cheerleader and other stuff (not quite as cute, but won't get us in trouble). I like the look of the shirt below (not sewn down, but just laying there waiting for your advice) but the hubby said it doesn't look like a cheerleader shirt. Any suggestions?

Oh, today's post marks my 98th post. It seems like just yesterday when I started this adventure. Tomorrow's Wordless Wednesday post will be 99 and It's Stinkin' Cute Thursday will be 100. WOW... So, if I get some good comments before Friday I might just consider doing a giveaway. But in addition to advice. I need to know what to do for a giveaway? Be sure to make suggestions so that can do one.

Baby Gift Basket for Landry

4/18/12 - I think it's super cool that someone posted this on facebook and a link... but I can't tell who it came from. I would love to thank them. If someone can leave a comment with who that would be awesome!!!

UPDATE due to some concern that I may have spelled something wrong... (thank you for your comments... that would have been horrible had this been a laundry basket and accessories):

* THE BABY'S NAME IS LANDRY GRACE HALLAM *

This is not a laundry basket...

Let me start by saying thank you to Ashley over at Cute as a Fox for all of her tutorials! I talk about them in this post.

They came to life in the last two days and below are pictures of my newest finished piece. It is for one of the ladies who’s son is the same age as Laci. We have become pretty good friends. Anyways, she didn’t register anywhere and just wanted receiving blankets and burp cloths and other girly things since she has a boy. I wanted to do something cute, so I did an awesome gift basket… Obviously the blanket is embroidered, but the other pieces are pictured below since they are hidden in the packaging.

Ok, so I couldn’t find the Gerber wash cloths, so I used (2) full size wash cloths for each of the candy rolls. Not quite as swirly, but still pretty cute. I have (7) total pieces embroidered with Landry’s name on it. It turned out pretty cute didn’t it!?! Total Cost was more than I expected, but I am sure given more time I could have found less expensive wash cloths and with a coupon I could have gotten the burp cloth fabric cheaper.

What do you think? Turned out pretty cute huh? I am so excited to give this to her on Sunday!

I want to mention I have been given a Versatile Blogger Award from Anne over at Anne's Antics. I will be talking about this either tomorrow or Monday (probably Monday), because otherwise this post would be a mile long.

I can't wait to hear what you think about the gift basket!
