So we are prepping for a big day in the Jeffrey Rieger household.  Tomorrow we celebrate Magnus turning 4.  Every birthday party for the last few months has been torture for Magnus as he struggled to understand that is wasn't his birthday yet.  But now the big is almost here.

Yesterday we went and chose the cake and spent way too much time in the party store deciding on a theme and decorations. :) After much deliberation on his part he finally decided on a "Cars" party.  Believe me, it was a hard decision!  And then Magnus wanted a new shirt for his birthday.  A Cars shirt to be specific.  To match the cake and the decorations.  We went and looked and looked and nothing.  (Funny  - and irritating - that you can not find things you see all the time when you need them!) 

So as an alternative (and because Magnus is learning his numbers ) I altered a t-shirt for him.  He has been facinated with the number 4 (go figure!) so this is what I made him to wear to the party.

Yup!  Felt letters that I normally use on scrapbook pages have made their way onto this cute little t-shirt.  I just pinned them in place and handstitched around each letter with embroidery floss.  Took about 25 minutes and now he is the proud owner of this personalized tee. I like this better than a boring old Cars t-shirt anyway!

Have a great weekend everyone!
