Sjalynn's birthday present

This is what Tristan and I made for Sjalynn for her birthday. I put the black fabric on fusible webbing and then mailed it to Tristan cut out the shapes on her Cricut. Then she sent them back to me to iron on to the white fabric. Then Joseph and I stapled the fabric to the canvas. Tristan and I saw it on an infomercial for the Cricut! Then I saw an article in a magazine about using large patterned fabric on artists' canvas for a decoration. I couldn't find any large print fabric that I thought Sjalynn would like in black and white, so I thought that it would be cool to use Tristan's Cricut to cut the shapes out. I could have used my CraftRobo, but it only cuts up to 8 inches wide and Tristan's Cricut cuts up to 12 inches and I wanted the pieces big.

At the aquarium

The Shedd Aquarium had free admission today so we decided to take the girls. Originally Brynne didn't want to go, but when she found out that we bought Lunchables to have for lunch there, she changed her mind. lol She ended up being the one that was most into it all (which we knew would happen). It was fun seeing all of the huge fish, eels, turtles, tortoises, and sea horses. Here are some pics of the fun we had.
