Joy Joy Joy!

Okay - I know I am jumping the holiday gun here but this turned out really cute and I can't wait to make more JOY! Red an green JOY. Versions of Blue JOY. Even some pink and lime green JOY for a few of us preppy southerners. Spread a little JOY of your own and order one today!

Pumpkin Truck and Overalls

Pumpkins Pumpkins everywhere! Time for Fall family photos and trips to the patch. I made these for our family trip to the neighborhood pumpkin patch. Hopefully the pictures turn out okay. Moods and timing are everything around here lately - Three year olds are moody!

Gearing up for (gulp) Christmas

I have had lots and lots of fun these past few weeks making the Halloween tees and fun harvest themed shirts. Reece and Dylan actually have Fall pictures at pre-school tomorrow and Friday so, I have been frantically preparing two sets of "picture" clothing for them to wear these next couple of days. Tomorrow is individual and classroom shots while Friday is Sibling photo day. We'll see how cooperative Reece is at taking a pic with baby bubba. He's kinda anti-pics right now especially with ones where Dylan is involved.

Anyway, I have been out shopping for and preparing fabrics for my holiday and Christmas applique designs. There are soooo many cute, colorful and interesting options for fabric combinations to play with. I have to admit....think I have a fabric hoarding problem. This year I have decided to think outside the sewing hoop and try to work with color combinations that aren't traditional Christmas red and green. I can't wait to start sewing these samples out and see what you think!

Oh and not to mention that I have had to pull a Mickey Mouse costume out of thin air for next week. :-)

Tonight....a night off - Wicked here we come!

Pumpkins and puppies

Puppies and Punkins. These were a few of the custom shirts I had orders for this week. All the kiddos in pre-school are having birthdays this month it seems and guess what - everyone gets a shirt! Girls get various polka dots and boys get plaid. Easy as pie and such a unique idea! Only $10.00 and comes already gift wrapped.

Happy 1'st Birthday Joe Michael!

Happy Birthday Little Prince! Our dear friends Joe and Stacey asked me to do a shirt for little Joe's first Birthday next weekend. She showed me the invitation and said she wanted "something with a crown". Luckily I found this applique design from Applique Frenzy. I was able to make a duplicate of the design of the invitation.

Pumpkin Family Photo

Looks like I'm out from under all the birthday shirts for a little while at least. I love all the business and the sweet little and BIG 1's and 2's I have been doing but it's time for a new project. I wanted to do a family of coordinating pumpkin themed shirts for our fall family photo and to celebrate my sweet little boy, Dylan's 1st birthday. I can't wait to get started on these this weekend. Check back to see if progress was made. I'm a little worried about the brown cord overalls being to snug. Suck in chunky monkey and say Cheese! Thanks to all of you who just had to have a BOO Y'all! shirt- Keep them coming.
