Note to self..keep it simple!

Okay, I admit it. I tend not to keep projects simple in my life. THERE I said it. There are few projects that I stop at the right point. Sure sometimes over the top is perfect and cute, but a lot of times sweet and simple are even better.

Case in point…

A few years ago, I decided to make 4th of July T-shirts for my kids.  I cut out an outline of the US and then stitched the words “happy birthday” on them. They turned out so cute..and were so simple. Take a look:

See..cute and simple:

This year I decided to try that idea again…but I didn’t stop. I wish I would have stuck with the original one line “happy birthday”.  At least he loves it. That really is after all, all that matters.
I made the shirt using the US map pillow template and just sized it down.  Worked great.
What do you think…how would you improve it?  Do you tend to keep things simple?
