Star Wars T-Shirt for Dad

This month's Pinterest challenge was all about making gifts for Father's Day.  I immediately thought of making up a t-shirt for my husband.

We were supposed to head to Disney in February and had to postpone our trip and then it got canceled altogether but my husband had been so excited to see the new Star Wars land at Hollywood Studios so I knew I needed to make him a Star Wars t-shirt to wear whenever we finally make it there.



There are so many great pins and I fully admit that I looked at a few before settling on making up my own.

I had planned to make him a Yoda shirt so I bought the t-shirt in green but the more I searched for Cricut SVG files the more I kept gravitating towards something classic.

I found my image on the Cricut design studio and sized it to fit the shirt front.  I then cut out the mirror image using iron on vinyl.


I weeded out all those pieces I didn't want but had a bit of a problem as the Cricut had cut through the clear backing that usually makes iron projects a snap.


I took my time laying out the design on the t-shirt; making sure to measure so the image was evenly spaced side to side and straight across the chest then I gently pressed it in place using an iron set to the cotton setting.

I think he's going to love it!

    I love it!! My Husband isn't a fan but I've bought my adult son many Star Wars Tshirts and pyjamas. I know he'd be thrilled with this fabulous design.

      Thank you! My husband is a huge fan and roped 2 of our 3 boys into it too. I like the original 3 but not any of the newer movies.

      I sure hope so too; though we have all agreed we don't care to visit the parks as long as mask wearing is required so it may be a little longer wait than we had hoped but that's OK.

    My husband isn't a huge Star Wars fan, but my boss is and it would be great for Bosses Day.

    Very cool! I love the color of the tee shirt you chose, too. I guess I need to start thinking about Father’s Day! Thanks for linking up!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Would You Rather; Fall Edition

Image
I was looking for a quick and fun blog post when I stumbled upon this graphic on Pinterest.  I stopped by Life By Wyetha's blog and found so many great Would You Rather and printable game ideas for parties.  It's a really fun blog and you should definitely check it out (here!) .  With her permission, I'm using her adorable graphic for today's post.  As always, I've circled my answers and, of course, will go into even more detail below.   Other than a few football games when I was in high school, I've never even watched football so my obvious answer was movies!  I don't like scary movies though so you'll find me watching things like Runaway Bride, Stepmom, Love Story, Autumn in New York, St. Elmo's Fire, Good Will Hunting, etc.  While I love iced tea, I only drink hot tea when I'm sick.  I much prefer a mug of cocoa!  When my boys were younger we used to visit a corn maze (and a different one at that!) each fall.  We have so many near us.  They
