I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My friend made (and I helped pick out) a bunch of images and she did iron on tees and onesies for our friend's twins as a shower present. Like a ton of them! To fit from newborn through 18 months.

This is similar to what I did for Em's Miracle Princess stuff (which I still have yet to see any pictures of! t taps foot ). It's totally doable.

eta: JZ, there's iron-on paper you can get from Staples, for white or for colored fabric.

How did she make the iron-on images?

There's iron-on transfer paper that can be run through computer printers.

(Of course this was an x-post.)

You get get iron-on stuff to print from your printer. Or, you can take images to most print shops and they'll copy them onto iron-on stuff.

Love my fancy vocabulary?!

and...it's x-post again!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just got back from the final walk-through before really truly finally honest-to-doG signing my life away and buying our pretty house tomorrow morning. If I'm too exhausted to show up at the closing can I just phone in?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Awesome! I foresee much Little Nemo scanning in my future.

Do they actually last any decent length of time? The last time I had anything with an iron-on was in my '70s childhood, from which I remember the sadness of shiny new iron-ons that always looked kind of sad after the first wash.

Wonderful but sad-making daybed.

Very pretty and elegant!

I figure she can use it for awile. Ikea also sells a frame for a trundle that could go under for sleepovers.

I am having the hardest time finding decently priced, solid pink bedding. This is by far my favorite, though. [link]

Punishingly Intricate

I know she did something to them afterwards to set the image better but I don't know what it is. I will find out!

I was searching for a pic of the twins in one of the iron-on things and this was the only one I could find:

They are so much bigger now!

This picture is simultaneously ded-of-teh-cute and frickin' hilarious.
