* The Kids’ Wet Chalk Drawing, Fort Greene Park.

* Daddy’s Birthday Cupcakes from Baked.

We had the most perfect week of weather here.  We felt lucky this week to be starting school, eating some last summer ice cream, wearing new shoes, celebrating a birthday, learning some new words, seeing old friends, watching one of our tomatoes finally change its green skin, looking forward to the seasons ahead…have a wonderful weekend!

The cherry trees are just starting to bloom at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  The festival is not until April, but it is exciting to visit each week and watch the progress.  We made this T-shirt in their honor.  You will need:

*Blank T-shirt (we used a child’s American Apparel T.  They have great organic options too).

*Fabric

*Tulle

*Buttons

*Pinking Shears

*Needle and Thread

1. Cut fabric and tulle into circles with pinking shears.  We made 1 inch circles from vintage fabric scraps.

2. Layer fabric and tulle slightly off-center.

3. Place circle layers onto shirt with button on top and stitch down through button holes.

Hand wash, or turn shirt inside out to launder.  Hooray for Spring!
