Kindy starts in just a week and a half and a towel for nap/rest time was on our list of items to send to school. Though the ease of buying a princess towel was tempting, I had to go the more difficult route.
Meet Sleeping Beauty. Yes, a videogame style Aurora.
(She’s hiding from the camera.)
Welcome to Kindergarten. Now put your name on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Some detail.
There are two skin tones, three pinks in the dress and three golds in her hair. It was pretty difficult to pixelize such a complex drawing that had so much dimension. Getting Mario at the right resolution is a *lot* easier. The hardest part was the eyes but I think they came out ok. Defintely better than some of the earlier iterations of her. I won’t share those.
Liam had to test out the blanket too. (Funny thing. Liam is wearing his pixelated Space Invaders-ish PJs.)
Apparently he approved.
So Maeve is happily snuggled up with her new quilt in bed tonight. I wonder how long it will take her to ask for one for home once this one goes to school…

That is so cool! Good job.

Hey Emily, this reminds me – as I don’t think you are checking out the older boy section of Gap Kids, they have a big boy backpack that is pixelated spaceships and stuff. Totally reminded me of you! They are on sale for 30% off now too.

Your quilt is just beautiful! Did you do her name by hand? I’m trying to figure out how to put my niece’s name on a quilt I’m making her, any tips? =)
