Project: Mack's birthday

The girls have been invited to Cousin Mack's Harry Potter birthday. I tried in vain to find some Harry Potter Lego sets; apparently the stores decided to get rid of all of them after Christmas. (Since when did Harry Potter go out of style?) So along with the toy purchase we settled on, we made him a custom Harry Potter T-shirt using the same bleaching method as before. The best part: we bought the shirt for $1 on clearance at a secondhand store.

This project involved a bunch of detailed Exacto-knifing, but it actually turned out better than I expected. Now I'm wondering if a 29-year-old mother of three can get away wearing a bigger version.

Behold! Perfect for a 7-year-old HP fan, right?
