Get Your Shoes On Girl

Both of my daughters are twirlers, and my older daughter has been at it since the first grade.  She was just a little bitty thing when she started and one of the things that twirlers go through is jazz shoes.  We practice quite a bit, especially in our driveway because sometimes it's just easier to walk outside than to go to the gym.  Lazy, I know...but anywho, the driveway eats jazz shoes.  Twirlers spin a lot and even eat a lot of batons.  They learn to catch them because they don't like eating them I think.  So here is what I busted out for the driveway to eat...

Well they aren't perfect but I remembered the days when I painted jeans and pillowcases and anything else we could get our hands on when I was younger with my best friend Nancy Fields.  I was always envious of her artistic talent.  I still have my jeans we painted somewhere hidden in the attic, and hidden they will stay until we move again I suppose.  I think I rekindled my love for fabric painting.  These were done with paint pens.  I haven't tried the markers for fabric.  I eyeballed them at Michael's, but truly I have too much craft stuff and the paint pens stretch to other mediums.  I think they remind me of cartoons.  And Laney was happy enough that she is wearing them to school this week so mission accomplished.
