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!

All in a week

Well in the last week I have made some cute new stuff, mostly for some custom orders as well as had a sick puppy!

Cooper unfortunately had a 24hour visit to the vet. Warning: a few gross details, she started throwing up on Monday just once or twice that we noticed but by Wednesday night she threw up at least four time in an hour. We took her to the emergency vet and they did not see anything noticeable right then so we decided to take her home (wrong choice)! Thursday my mom came by to check on her and she had pooped blood and lots of it, so my mom took her to the vet close by and they gave her a blood test, some meds and said to keep a close eye on her. Well after just a few hours when I got home she had gotten worse, so I took her right away to the ER vet. She stayed for 24 hours and is now doing much better than the day she went in. She has since had a bath, much needed, and she is slowly eating yet,is still pretty tired. Poor thing! If you know Cooper you know she is a shy, timid dog and very weary of new people. Well on her cage at the vet they had to put a "caution" sign up cause she was clearly not sure if she could trust these people. I think it is hilarious!
(Please excuse my pictures, they are from my blackberry and not of any good quality)



Coopers little bandage covering the spot they had her IV in her arm

On another note, I crafted up some cute new stuff this week. A friend of my friend Julie asked me to make a Valentine's day shirt for her daughter for some pictures for Valentines day. I love when people just give me a general idea and let me work with it. She asked for a pink or red shirt and something with hearts and that was pretty much it. I love how it came out and the pictures look adorable (pictures by Cynthia Woodmansee)




After making the 1st Vday shirt I decided to make one for Lola, my niece as well. Of course if I make one for my niece, my nephew Ryan needs one too. Lola's is the same as the one above just on a white short sleeve and Ryan's is a Camo truck carrying a red heart! Again, please excuse my terrible picture!


Lastly, as far as pictures, I adorned my friend Candice's black sweat outfit with a cute leopard heart and floral print crown on the back of the sweatshirt and then sewed L-O-V-E down the side of the pant with the same fabric. I fell in love with the floral print fabric and had to pair it with the leopard. She loved it. She also ordered a birthday outfit (shirt and tutu) for her friend's daughter that I made this week too (the same outfit that got my shop started, thanks to Julie for that 1st tutu)!!! I am in the process of making two more birthday outfits that Candice has ordered for her other friends children along with a boys birthday shirt. The theme of their birthday party is going to be Scooby Doo, can't wait to share the finished product.
