Yea for polka dots!

Yea for polka dots, and yea for a finished project!
I began this project when mom was here, had it in mind prior to. 
Love the pants I'm seeing all around.  First fell in love w/ these adorable red ones I saw in Old Navy.
You probably can't see the dot... but I did, and they were calling my name, but I just bought red pants, can I get more?  It's me.  Of course I could buy more!
Then, I decided that I would make my own, why?  Same answer, because it's me! 
In some attempt so save some money, I would make my own! 
I decided not to try on my lovely reds, went with my teal pants instead.

I bought a blank stencil, marked my dots and punched each one out w/ my crop-o-dile!

I used a pearly white fabric paint, a sponge brush and got going.
Tips, on the front I used a white makeup sponge instead, loved it so much more.  Use a pouncing motion rather than a side to side motion, don't want the paint to seep under the circles.  You get more of a blob than a cute polkie!


Cuuuuutttteeeeee!


The paint dries pretty quick, but you know me... I lay these out to dry then start another project and don't finish this one for a few days!  I finished yesterday and took these for a ride today!!!



Love!!!  And, I may just go buy those red ones anyway!


Today I'm thankful...

That this election is over!  Man I get tired of politics and wish we could all just be a little more patriotic instead of political.

That M made it home safe... and early!  He drove to PA yesterday to present at a conference and drove back tonight. 

For my Q and her willingness to help she is getting so 'grown up', not just big.

For new smells!  I got myself some lotion at Bath and Body Works.  I tried to exchange a lotion I ended up with... that I don't like at all!  They wouldn't take it back, but I ended up with new stuff!

Mom made it home safe, although it was really tough to see her go.  Yet another trip where we don't have a photo of us!  I try to get one, each time we're together... I failed this time.
