First of all, in case you missed yesterday’s post……..we’re gearing up for Valentine’s day. 

Check out the little ruffled heart Valentine’s Dress (from recycled Tshirts) I made for my 5 year old girl.

Okay, so it’s my little guy’s turn next.  My Valentine Boy Shirt idea changed oh, about 7 times.  The first idea involved “too many hearts”, according to my husband.  (This coming from a man who has pink and purple in his closet. Yeah.)  Whatever, Valentine’s is all about hearts and love and frill, right?  But I decided to ease up on the hearts and to tone it down a bit…….and made something a bit more boyish.

With monsters.

(However, girls like monsters too……so this could be for boys and girls.)

A sweet little appliqued monster, holding a BE MINE valentine on his belly.

Once this monster started coming together, I kept laughing.  I don’t know what it is about monsters.  They’re so silly and goofy and pretend-scary.  It’s just funny.  And with monsters, anything goes.

And no joke, once I held the shirt up for my little guy to look at……..he laughed.  And then laughed some more.  He just got a kick right out of this little Valentine monster.

Whew, glad he likes it.

Boys are funny.  Even when their tongues come out of their mouths for 95% of their pictures. 

Anyone else have that problem?

This little guy is all ready for Valentine’s day.  And treats……..lots of them.  (This kid has a sweet tooth like his momma.)
