Tales from the Crib...and Beyond: Sukie Iron-Ons + Left-Over Onesies = FUN!

I bought a book of Sukie iron-on graphics from the San Francisco MOMA. I figured I'd find someone to give it to as a souvenir. A few months later, I came across a ba-zillion left-over onesies from my two boys' infancies. (Seriously. You would have thought they were disposable, with the quantity in which I bought them...Like, they might need 5 a day for the first year of their little lives. Sheesh. If only a new mother's love was measured by the number of onesies she bought her baby...)

Inspiration struck at the intersection of Hurricane Irene Path and Eastern Seaboard Way...So while we hunkered down and waited for the power to go out - which took a surprisingly long time, but also stayed off for nearly a week once we lost it - I got busy, ironing and patting myself on the back for my crafty geniusness. If you know me and you're having a baby in the future (or past), don't be surprised if you see one (or more) of these littled decal-icious masterpieces heading your way. And a word to your babies: These are not the ones(ies) upon which you may to spit up or poo.

Oh, Sukie, Sukie!....(Scandalous what other things turn up when you google "Sukie.")

Prep work: Fancy ironing board (tray table), fancy board cover (pillow case), iron, bodysuit, cut-out decals.

Iron those suckers for a few seconds, then give it a break for a few seconds. After a few minutes - Viola!

One for Baby Eliza.

Portlandia fans? "I put a bird on it!" (Well, two.)

Hedgehogs and mushrooms! Mushaboom!

I can't decide if this strikes me as feminine or masculine. The flower border says feminine, but the lion figure looks a bit masculine. Maybe it's androgynous? We'll go with that.
