OMG your "Privilege" post made me want to cry! Your parents are SO SUPER AWESOME and I have mad respect for them. It reminded me a little bit of my own mother -- she started with basically NOTHING (she came from a very poor, abusive home) and built a life for herself and has worked for every single thing she has. And she's given me and my sister so much, and it makes me feel emo because I feel like I have so little to give in return. FEEEEEEELS.

:') Thank you for sharing these thoughts, lavitafermatita!! ALL THE FEEEEEEELS!!!!!!! Your mama ROCKS like no other!!

LOVE,

Team Wright & Team Spongy Project Update #2:

Yesterday I got them printed onto the back of a free freshman Iowa t-shirt that I never wore! Aren't they handsome??

Now I'm testing out my sewing skills on my tank-top, and I gotta say that my sewing skills suck really bad. Hopefully after this one I'll have gotten better for lavitafermata galesofnovember & acceptandembrace's!! But if I don't, I hope you guys will find my awkward stitches to be charming :D

Love,

Bananena

Team Wright & Team Spongy Project Update:

Guess what, guys?! I have the tank-tops and t-shirts in all the right sizes, + fabric paint to do the lettering.

Here are the edited pictures (N.T. ended up getting some purple in his beard but I thought that looked pretty cool):

And now, an important question for the craft-y ones:

Will it be OK to print the images on cotton duck cloth (canvas) after machine-washing the cloth, or will duck cloth always shrink, even if washed in cold water? (I've Googled this but gotten a few different answers.)

The plan is to print the images onto something white, then cut them out and sew them onto the clothing. If the duck cloth doesn't work out, I have a white cotton shirt too.

THANKS, GUYS!

I'M EXCITED!

GO TEAM SPONGY!

Love,

Bananena

OMG OMG I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO TELL YOU SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT AND AWESOME: My (ladyyyyy) priest told me yesterday that she was ordained under none other than JOHN SHELBY SPONG. My spongy feelings went SLFKJSLKFJSLKFJSLKDFJS and I totally geeked out on her and was like "OMG SPONGGGGGG I HAVE BEEN TOTES READING HIS STUFF LATELY!" She looked at me funny but it was worth it, and it's okay because she still loves me. WOOOOOOOO #TEAM SPONGY 5EVAS
