TCP Tuesday 154 and Weekly Winner!

Surprise! This week I am your Hostess with the Mostess.

Not only is it TCP Tuesday, but The Cat's Pajamas and The Cat Pack are celebrating a brand new baby!

Last week, one of The Cat Pack had a little baby boy! Tracy Falco, who has been a member of The Cat Pack since almost the very beginning, had her very first baby! We are jumping with joy over here and we want to share our joy with you, and her newly expanded family.

So, in honor of the NEW baby the TCP Tuesday Challenge is to create anything baby, using The Cat's Pajamas stamps. AND to further celebrate this little bundle of joy, we are kicking off the start of this precious life with a blog hop!

I love the idea of stamping on fabric, so that's what I did. I stamped using Stazon ink, onto white bib and onesie blanks I found at Joanne's and some patterned fabric.


Tracy loves owls, and I knew little baby Falco would be surrounded by owls, so I thought I'd use some of the animals in our Happy Camper set and in the Ewe Complete Me set. After I stamped, I colored in with fabric paint 'cause Stazon is not recommended for fabric. A little fabric ink on the end of a Q-Tip gave the sheep a little color. If I were to do it again, I would find real fabric, like Crafter's Ink.

For the onesies, I cut and pieced the fabric like I would with paper, but instead used Stitch Witchery as my adhesive. I found that Fray Check (to stop fraying) dissolved the Stazon, so I chose to seal the edges with fabric paint. Fingers crossed it works. We'll see after the next wash.


Then, I stitched in grass and flowers. I had done a sampler in Girl Scouts, but since that was well (well) over 30 years ago, my stitching was a little rusty. But, I like the way it looks.
