The Shirts

I'm glad so many of you liked Walker and Kathryn's shirts on the blog header. I guess I should do a little bit of explaining! Yes, we are expecting again! Walker and Kathryn will welcome their new sibling in July (or maybe June...our due date is July 3rd)!

I stitched these shirts for our ultrasound appointment a couple of weeks back. Matt and I decided to take the kiddos with us even though we weren't finding out the gender of the baby. So, of course, I had to make them a shirt for the "occasion." Fortunately, for me and Matt, Papa came in town and offered to babysit, so we were able to enjoy the ultrasound in peace and quiet!

Kathryn's shirt was a bit smaller than Walker's, so I opted to stitch "Big Sis" on hers. Plus we call her Sis and tend to call Walker Brother, so it worked! (Sorry, I don't have a close up of Walker's). I have to give a shout out to Sugar and Spice Mommy for encouraging me to attempt this hand embroidery. I made a shirt for Walker last summer, but hadn't made anything since. I was thrilled with how these turned out, and they saved me money too. I already had the shirts, I just had to be a couple of dollars worth of embroidery thread! I already have a couple of designs in mind for some onesies for baby!

Oh, and here are some picture outtakes that I thought you would enjoy!
