Turn your T into a V

If you are anything like me, then you have a drawer full of T-shirts. And if you're anything like me, you aren't a huge fan of the crew neck of T-shirts. Luckily you don't have to live your entire life only wearing crew necks. Here is a quick and easy way to change your crew neck T-shirt into a V-neck T-shirt. All you need is a needle and thread. No sewing experience required.
 


1. Gather your materials: T-shirt, thread in matching color, needle, and scissors
2. Thread your needle, and start about 4 inches down from the middle of the crew neck.
3. Stick the needle up from the underside of the shirt.
4. Do a loose stich about a half an inch up from where you stuck the needle through
5. Continue "weaving" the thread. About 4 loose stitches is perfect.
6. Turn the shirt inside out (or just fold the neck down a bit) and pull the thread's ends so the fabric accordions
7. Tie the thread ends and snip off the excess
8. Make sure nothing looks janky
9. Wear with pride.
 
I'm telling you, it's simple. So go and turn all of your T-shirts into much more flattering V-necks.

My Christmas Craft

Sometimes I get ideas for projects, and I think through it, and then I decide that I should wait until a more opportune time to paint my table or rearrange my guest room. Then there are other times that I decide I should paint a door to use for Christmas decor instead of clean my house, go grocery shopping, or work on photos. 

This is that door.

Yes, I should have used a level. Yes, I should have planned it out a little bit before just free handing the lettering. But I still love it.

In case you can't read it, it says...

In this home,
Christmas
is about
our Savior
laughing together
singing around the piano
Praising God
giving generously
showing compassion
sharing our joy
celebrating His birth
kissing under the mistletoe
blessing others
loving others
being kind to others
the manger
peace and hope
Family Time
Jesus.
