Creative, Custom and Crazy

Just finished up two custom orders. The 1st is for my friend Julie. Her and her fiance are currently living in England while he attends medical school (you can read about their adventures on her blog). Her best friend is having a baby and she wanted a onesie that said "My aunt in England loves me" So this is what I came up with...


Then a few days ago my friend Jodi said her soon to be 7 year-old wanted a birthday shirt. The soon to be 7 year-old girls birthday shirt request was to have a big 7, a fish and dog on her shirt and she likes the colors blue, yellow and purple. So I had to get pretty creative with this one. I used some cute black and white paw print material on the front with a yellow 7 on a bright yellow shirt and then in coordinating colors I added a fish design to the back of the shirt. I put a little matching bow on the front too,to add a girly touch! Doesn't get much more custom than this!

I want to do this!

I am redecorating, revamping my living room. I bought a new area rug, I am going to open up the space by moving some furniture and switching some things out from other rooms in the house and I want to cover a black leather ottoman (definitely would not match) that I have to make it look something like this:

St. Patty's Day Subway Art

They have this printable subway art, as they call it, for St. Patrick's Day, that you can simply print out HERE stick in a cute frame and use to add to St. Patty's Day decor.

I saw on their blog they had cute ones for other holidays so I can't wait to see what it next!


I put mine in a simple white frame I had at home and taped a green bow to it (taped it so I can take it off after St. Patrick's Day and change out the print to match the next holiday or my house decor. I put the frame on the entry way table for all to see when they come over!

Beautiful Birthday Girl

Lola turned 5 last month and of course I got to make her birthday shirt. I think it will become a tradition, for as long as she will wear a birthday shirt with her age on it at least ;)

She looks soooo grown up in these pictures and is such a beauty!

Valentine shirt awesome-ness

These pictures literally made me LOL ! According to my sis-in-law my niece posed her self for these pictures and assisted her brother as well. So entertaining!









How sweet are they...

- Along with exclamation points, I also use to many dot dot dots....

Awesome

- My valentines weekend surprise last weekend, Paso Robles, a Suite, Wine Tasting, great food, need I say more

Supers

These are some of my favorite Supers....The Incredibles, one of my favorite Disney movies too

But...these 3 Ladies and a baby (<<< hehe reminds me of 3 Men and a Baby, another great movie) are pretty super as well, as I got to help in making their shirts/onesie for a super hero party, which I have shared about in previous posts. Finally some quality pictures thanks to Cindy (Super Mimi)

More Super Stuff and Scooby doo

On a serious time crunch and not so great of a sewing morning yesterday I finished up some 'super' shirts. I really don't have much of anytime to do much during the week (Monday-Thursday) seeing as though I leave the house around 7am and don't get back home till about 6:30 in the evening. Don't get me wrong I like my jobs right now and I am very thankful for them, yet they don't leave me with much time for sewing or even doing stuff around the house. I often find myself at Walmart at 7am picking up a few things before work so I don't have to do it after work. Which then brings me to Friday mornings....time to sew and do all of those domestic house duties. I still had to work in the afternoon yesterday (helping out at good ole Child Care) so I really only had a couple of hours and I had to have the two super shirts done since the party was today. I bought some new bobbins for my sewing machine and they turned out to be too small. I tried to use them anyways, but it didn't work out so well, neither did running out of red thread! With some improvisation, I managed to get the shirts done and I can't wait to see pictures, which is the best part!
After making the 'Super Auntie' shirt and the onesie, more super people wanted a shirt for the super hero party of my friend Julie's nephews (which is taking place today, I've already put in a request for some pictures). The birthday boys grandma or 'Mimi' wanted a 'Super Mimi' shirt, which I made similar to the 'Super Aunite' shirt.

I couldn't let me lovely, prego friend Julie attend this super party without a super shirt too. So I made her a 'super baby' shirt with an arrow pointing to her belly. She is only about 11 weeks pregnant so there is not much of a belly to point too. She also doesn't know if it is a boy or girl yet so I was sure to make the word 'baby' in blue and pink, the rest of the shirt is pink and zebra so she matched her 'super' daughter Aubree at the party!


As promised to have pictures (high quality from my blackberry *wink*wink*) of the Scooby Doo themed birthday party outfits made for a friend's three kiddos.
When I say Scoody Doo themed it was more like tie-dye and peace sign themed. I didn't find any classic tie-dye rainbow colored material but I didnt find a blue, pink and yellow peace-sign tie-dye for the girl's shirts and a blue and peace-sign material for the lil' guys shirt. I made the girl matching tutus too! I decided to add "Peace, Love (a heart) and Birthday Cake" to the back of the shirts because I thought it would make a cute photo-op! I actually already got to see the girls try on their tutus and they fit perfect and looked so cute.





I have some more things to make today and an order to ship out too. Maybe I can even come back with some fun reports on things other than Little Yellow Sew Shop business after the weekend is over!
