I hope there's a fireman around here, because you are smokin'!

OK, that was lame. I know. The above picture is a close-up of the fabric I used to make a gift for a good friend of mine. She sorta has a thing for firemen. So I when I found the above fabric, I KNEW I had.to.have.it. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to make with it but, come on, check out that 'stache!

For the life of me, I could not get a good picture. I keep blaming my poor photography on bad lighting, but I'm thinking it's my camera. Yep, definitely my camera. Not me.

I think it turned out pretty good and it was a HUGE hit! You gotta love a cheesy, beefcake fireman!

  3. Nan - I tried to have Big Daddy model it. I guess there are some things he just won't do.
