OH MY GOSH YES!

now i wish every day could be Treat Yo Self Day!!

Mustaches Forever

i have the best hubsy!

he spent all last saturday making me the coolest hoodie in the universe! THE UNIVERSE!

i seriously can't stop wearing it.
i saw a picture of it in internetland a while ago and got all wide eyed and said "must. have. now."
ya know like in that robot voice.
never have i seen an article of clothing that screamed NIKKI as much as this.

i love love LOVE it!

but seriously, who wouldn't??

compliment

had my first compliment on my new shark shirt last night!

we were walking through costco and a little boy in the cart in front of us said to his dad "a shark! a shark! a shark in the water!"

which made his dad start looking around saying "what? what are you talking about?" while i gave the kid a little wave and a smile.

i forgive his dad for not realizing that my shirt was the amazingness his kid was reacting to.

thanks for making me feel cool little costco kid.

your love of sharks makes me think you will do great things in life.

shark attire

i have been so crazy busy this week i haven't even had a chance to post about my most favoritest week of all time.

that's right, it's...

is everyone ready for this year's shark week attire?

last year i had the jammies and the shirt, both of which i still wear and love to pieces.

so it would just seem wrong to not keep the shirt making tradition alive.

Matt and i spent all last Saturday making shirts including this guy!

awesome right?

I KNOW!

we used freezer paper to make the stencil instead of using our screen printer since we were only making one shirt.

it didn't come out totally perfect since it was our first time using the freezer paper but i still love it!

quick break down of the process.

we printed the image out on the freezer paper and Matt used his steady hand skillz to cut it out with an x-acto knife.

then you place it veeeeery carefully on the shirt and iron it to stick it down.

then you paint on the fabric paint and try to make sure the freezer paper doesn't pucker so the paint doesn't seep under and mess up the design.

do as many coats as needed.

wait for it to dry then peel off the freezer paper and put a cloth over and iron to seal.

and voila!

then you take a bunch of pictures of yourself with your new sharkie shirt and include your mustache decal on your mirror!

too awesome for words.

HAPPY SHARK WEEK EVERYONE!
