Christmas Shirts Sneak Peak

As Hobby Lobby was rolling out its Christmas stuff in August (no lie), I rolled my eyes and told Hudson that mommy just couldn't handle Christmas "stuff" yet. Well, it's late October. A turkey is about it for a November design. So that leaves Christmas. I've got some cute ideas and embroidery designs that I'm excited to start. Really cute things coming for BOYS! I'm not naive enough to think that somebody hasn't come up with a naughty/nice design set. However, I have not seen it and thought it would be a cute idea. I need a word other than cute, but its late, I've worked the late shift tonight, so cute is staying. Anywho, I'm having the boys pics with Santa done in these. Most 2 sibling families I can think of, the nice shirt goes to the first born, and naughty to the second. Love my B, but he gets the naughty shirt ;) He's really not naughty, just expresses his opinion and gets into more than my easy going, cautious first child. Many more designs to come in the next few weeks. I've got over a dozen turkey shirts to finish for your little turkeys. As always, short sleeve shirts are $15 single, $12 multiple, and long sleeves are $18 single and $15 multiple.

Turkey Time!

Ahhhh. It's fall. Falling leaves, hayrides, pumpkins, and TURKEYS!! I found the pattern for this cute turkey face in a kids craft set and couldn't resist putting it on a shirt. I wasn't crazy about the feather pattern so after hours of tinkering, I got what I wanted. Ben calls my sewing room my crazy room. Maybe its because I stay up until the wee hours of the morn slinging fabric every which way (think Edward Scissorhands meets Martha Stewart....) Or because I tend to be a perfectionist and have to get things exactly how I'm picturing it. Anyway, I haven't seen any turkey shirts with a "butt" so I wanted these to be front/back design. I wasn't sure what the back of a turkey looks like, so I Googled "turkey butt". Mistake. No usable ideas, but got edumacated via the urban dictionary:
1. Turkey Butt: The condition of having one's clothing stuck between the buttocks.When ones ass gobbels up their pants. Turkey Butt 2. Long bangs (to the cheek, chin or sometimes longer) swept to one side or parted down the sides of the face. Remaining hair on the top and back of the head is of short length (two to six inches) and is freaked or fanned out. The hair on the back of the head may be tapered or have an under cut. The final results resembles something like a decapitated turkey sitting upon the head of the wearer as the back of the head looks like a turkeys' butt (the array of feathers) and the bangs look like wings and/or the turkeys breast.
Absolutely priceless. I'm working on the same pattern, but with different fabric. I'll try to have to posted in a few days. I usually only work when the boys are sleeping, so off to my crazy room I go.

Big, Bigger, Biggest!

Hellooooo! The only thing "big" about the owner of this shirt will be his cuteness!! These are for my dear friend Brianna who is expecting her 3rd boy at the end of this month. Boys have a super soft spot in my heart. I can't wait to see them wearing these! Isaac, Luke, and baby Elijah enjoy!
