Where has the time gone??

Holy Moly!!! Where has the time gone?? I told myself that I was going to do better about blogging..WRONG!   I am definately going to make blogging a new years resolution.  I read a ton of blogs everyday- its what I do as I am drinking my coffee  diet coke first thing in the morning.  If all these other people have time to blog then I have NO excuse. 

Ok- so whats been going on?!?!  Well Thanksgiving was Great!  At one point I was up to my eyeballs in turkey shirts but it was fun! 

As soon as Thanksgiving ended Christmas orders came rushing in.  So far I don't have a "most popular" design... we are all over the place.  Truck and Tree, Train and Tree, Santa, Snowman, Mittens, Snowflake and Present.   

My waffle weave hand towels have been GREAT too!   This is a perfect hostess gift, teacher gift, and one just to have on hand when you are in a bind and need something quick.  I have a couple wrapped and ready to go.  It never fails someone that I least expect drops by with a gift and I am never prepared..this year I will be ready :-).

I will be taking Christmas orders thru December 15th (deadline could be sooner-depending) so it is still not to late to get your order in! 

May you All have a Wonderful and Happy Holiday Season!!

I'm Back!!!

I know I have been away for a few weeks.... but I'm Back!!!  Stay tuned for pictures galore!!  I have been a busy little bee and sewing and shipping like crazy!  It has been wonderful!!  Last week I shipped our first International order...Woo Hoo!  and I have shipped to 24 of the 50 states! 

A little preview of some of the Halloween and Christmas orders!!!

Want a drink?!?!

I have these FABULOUS new initial wine glasses!! They are ohh so cute! They are acrylic with fun and funky fabric and they actually help keep your wine (or drink of choice) COLD!! Love them!

Children's Aprons!!

We are excited to offer Children's Aprons!! These are great for helping in the kitchen or for "trying" to stay clean while doing arts and crafts.  We have a variety of aprons and any applique and name can be added.  Let us know what you think!!  These will make great gifts!!  It's almost that time of year to be thinking of gifts....hint hint!!  Aprons are $25 that includes and applique and a name.  These are just a few of our designs...any applique can be used.

Waffle Weave hand towels

Well, like I mentioned in yesterday's post we are growing and changing!  We are venturing out to other areas besides childrens shirts.  We will contiue to grow our childrens line but we have had several request for other personalized and appliqued items.  So... here we go!  We picked up some waffle weave hand towels at market last week and today appliqued crosses on them.  We used several different fabrics in hopes they would match your kitchen or perhaps even your bathroom.  What do you think?? We will have other designs available soon such as a pineapple, a plain monogram and a fleur de lis.  Do you have any suggestions?  All hand towels are $12 or two for $20.  If we don't have a fabric listed that matches your house let us know and we will work with you to find the perfect colors. 
**  All hand towels can be personalized at no additional charge.**
