Will TarzansKat meet Captain Jack? ~A Pirate's Life for 3 Pre-Trippie~ We're back!

[Charleston Princess]

Apparently that's quite true.

And DS' costume is so easy, too, so I guess I'm just on the fence about mine now.

You just have to wear that gorgeous dress if the menfolk are dressin' up!

I know... :::sigh::::

I'm debating.

If I recall correctly, part of the issue with your dress was that it took up so much room when packed?

Actually, no, I don't worry about that, it's the limited mobility.

Ahhhh. Well bring your pirate outfit as standby incase you aren't feeling it!

 

[Sarilas]

I concur - a girl (and a pirate!) need choices!

 

[Princesskeyblade]

Your tribute had me in tears!

I am sure you all will have a great time and celebrate this years accomplishments in true pirate style!

That is most likely what will happen.

A pirate does need her choices!

Oh, thank you, hon. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

 

[Native NYer]

So sorry about your family's loss.

You and your family are in my prayers

Thank you very much.

More on the loss of DH's grandmother. Even if expected, the passing of a loved one is never easy.

That's too funny about DH insisting on his JS costume! But I am very glad you will still be wearing matching t-shirts at one point. I'm looking forward to how a certain someone receives the three of you!

And I'd like a story (and headless/blurred picture, if you're up for it) of DS getting his very own pirate tutorial!

But only if that fits into the non-itinerary itinerary and DS is up to it.

Thank you again.

Seriously, I would love for DS to do the tutorial, but I worry he might be a little too young. I can gaurantee we'll be watching one...that will somehow work its way into the non-itinerary itinerary, believe you me...and preferrably on a day of matching shirts so as to maximize the power of pirates!

 

[TarzansKat]

and somehow with all the hullaboo of DH coming home, seeing the shirts I had worked on and then made me feel all carppy unintentionally by telling me I shouldn't have gotten the cheaper transfer paper from AC Moore, I should have bought the name brand Avery at WalMart, that chapter got erased.

And I'm a little upset. About the chapter and the shirts.

I thought I did a good job for my first try. And DH does too, but I think I may have to go get some fancier paper or see how these turn out after a washing. It was just his delivery that was a bit lacking, and I took it the wrong way and there you go. The TK clan is not always in a state of perfect marital bliss. Alas, feelings get hurt and apologies are exchanged. Now onward to the shirts. They have to sit for 24 hours before they get washed, so we won't know until tomorrow anyway.

Here they are.

I just thought this design was so cute. DS has these athletic shorts which are pretty much all we're packing for Disney since they're the quickest for him to get on and off when he needs to use the bathroom. We've had some accidents over harder to get off shorts, so we don't wear those anymore. It's just so defeating for the poor little nugget. Anyway, he has two pairs of these type of shorts in this beautiful light blue, very similar to the color on the shirt. I'd wear my top with jean shorts, I think we'd make a very nice pair.

Anyway, these being my first try you can see a bit of yellowing as I wasn't consistently moving the iron. I did DS first, so by the time I did my tank, I was getting better at it. Now, if you get up reallly, really close, you can see parts where the edges of the transfer look ready to peel up. This is what concerns me. I hope they stay together. If not...well, I don't know. We'll just have to see how they wash.

And we have the big kahuna...

This is DS' shirt. I love this design and how DH changed it to be customized for us. It looks great, but for some reason, even though I was really consistent with the movement of the iron, and really applied some good pressure here, the right side is a bit worn looking as though the transfer didn't completely take. I'm not totally distressed over this, after all, it is a pirate shirt, but I'm a little concerned about how DH's will come out if it's on a white tee.

I'm giving up for tonight.

I want to see how this washes, and if it's not well, then I'll most likely be writing/contacting the makers of this brand of transfer and requesting a refund. As stated on the packaging, just contact us if you're not satisfied and we'll send you a full refund.

So there you go.

I was excited about these shirts, I swear.

I still am. Sort of.

ARGH.

Now I don't have shoe drama, I have shirt drama.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love the shirts!!! I think they turned out great -- I especially like the Pirates Life for Three one!!!

Thank you!!!!

I was really really excited about them. Until DH came home with his perfectionist nature...ahem...I'm not bitter, I swear!

I am still excited about matching tees. I think we're going to look great.

DH is working on my pirate's life for three on a black tank right now. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Fingers and toes are crossed!

 

[TarzansKat]

Fingers and toes are crossed!

Well apparently the crossing of the fingers AND the toes is what works!

Cause check this out!!!!!

So I love the way this one looks.

DH is on the fence about whether or not he wants to have a white or black shirt. He likes the way the white shirts look after washing better, but he prefers to wear black more.

The man's as indecisive as I am, I swear.

We're quite the pair, folks!

 

[Charleston Princess]

So very cool!!!

I bet you can't wait to wear it while watching the pirate tutorial!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Awww, TK! I think they look great!! What brand transfers did you get, I am curious if I got the same ones just dark transfers...??

How is your tank turning out?
