To remember our first beach vacation I decided to make this Seastar Applique and posted the template below so you can create your own (print at full page size), I used wonder under to adhere it and then used embroidery floss to make the face and border texture. (Tip- I got a whole bunch of these tanks in 12 mths for this year and 2t for next year at Target, they’re Circo brand and are only $2 each, perfect for embellishing and what a deal, woohoo!)Here are a few pictures from our vacation so far, the weather has been pretty crappy but hey, it’s the beach and I’ll take it! We’re staying on an island off the west coast of Florida, it’s really private which is nice but you can’t bring cars so we’re kind of stuck. Which honestly is actually kind of a relief. We filled up the kitchen with groceries, loaded up on sunscreen and settled in for 4 days of doing nothing. Sighhh, sweet relaxation. Well, relaxation with an 11 mth old but hey, it’s still technically vacation!Daddy making a “Samcastle”
