Spring Tees in the Shop

We're a week away from the official start of Spring 2012 but it's already feeling like it's begun.  I've got lots of new tees in the shop, and some old ones restocked.  Hop on over and have a look!

Papa Needs a Brand New Tee

If there's one thing that gets my goat, it's people who contact me asking for things and then never follow through with either making a purchase or in a particular recent case, giving me further info as to where to send my product(s). Especially since my time is pretty precious these days.

But I'll just chalk it up to their loss.

And possibly your (my readers) gain.

Since I am sort of stuck with some limited edition merchandise (well, not really, as I could just list them in my etsy shop), I thought why not do another giveaway? It's been ages and as I had planned on doing one each month, this is the perfect time, albeit a bit close, to do one for Father's Day.

For the men in your life who are cat lovers, I am giving away to 2 lucky readers, a pirate kitty short sleeve tee and mustache kitty short sleeve tee. I only have large sizes available, so they may or may not fit your dad/husband/boyfriend/friend/grandpa/etc. Don't let that stop you from entering the giveaway though. Who doesn't want another t-shirt? They are unisex, after all, so you could keep them for yourself too, as a p.j. tee or just to wear around the house if (it's too big).

They are American Apparel tees in these two styles:

Tri-Blend Short Sleeve Track Shirt in Tri-Coffee

Melange Jersey Short Sleeve Gym Tee in Melange Blue/Navy

(unisex version which seems to be discontinued now)

To enter the giveaway: all you have to do is leave a comment with a great Father's Day gift suggestion. This time around, I will pick the best answers (in my humble opinion) rather than doing a random draw. You have until the end of Sunday, June 13, 12 a.m. EST to enter. I will announce the winners on Monday. Be sure to leave me a way to contact you. This is open to readers everywhere!

Unfortunately I can't guarantee that you will receive the tees in time for Father's Day, but then I expect most of you already have gifts to give your dads.

In other news, our little Whit-Whit is five months old today! She is our sweetheart.

Spring Things

Spring is in the air and I've got some new things to show for it. Hooray!

Melange Olive Hi Kitty Tee

Light Pink Love Cats Short Sleeve Tee

Fitting in time for my own work is tricky these days - I often sacrifice a much needed nap in order to get stuff done - so it seriously feels like a little accomplishment when I can print up a dozen or so shirts.

I will be adding either one or both of these tees to my shop soon, along with some baby apparel - still to be printed - hopefully.

Speaking of babies, I think our little one is waking up from her after lunch nap, so that's all for now.

A belated Happy Spring and Easter to you!

New Shop Items

Finally listed a few new tees in the shop. More things are coming and I will hopefully get around to adding them sometime next week.

Clever Kitty Boatneck

Light Aqua Hi Kitty Shirred Front Tee

I'm meeting Matt for lunch soon - my hard working hubby who was asked to work on the weekend - so I'll say Ciao for now!

Under the Weather

I'm feeling under the weather today. Yesterday was worse. Matt was sick last week and so were some people who I work with here, so I think it finally caught up with me. Bah!

A new tee is in the shop though. More to come soon.

Thanks to Alexis and Julie for your sweet comments on my last post. I tried to reply but blogger sometimes acts up and doesn't let me leave comments.

New Prints & Tees in the Shop!

Feeling tired today, so this post will be light on words but heavy on pictures...
There are new things in the shop. Go have a peek!

A Poppy Tee

The weekend was not as productive as I hoped it would be. I did list a new tee in the shop. The color is poppy.

Not poopy (in reference to my previous post).
lol

And I opened a new shop last week too. Not like I'm not on the internet enough already. That's one of the reasons why I didn't get as much stuff done. I spent way too much time "surfing" and obsessing over how to make our home better. Plus I actually sat down and watched the Oscars the other night, for the first time in a several years. Hugh Jackman was hosting, after all. That man is talented! And handsome.

Okay, off to do some work.

It's a Quiet Weekend In for Us

Even though we're supposed to get 6 more weeks of winter, I've got a few new items that would be purrfect for Spring in my shop.


Today feels quite Spring-like in fact, with temperatures above zero and some drizzling. But I will probably spend the rest of the weekend mostly indoors screen printing some new offerings for a fellow designer and friend.

Matt and I did our socializing last weekend when we checked out this friend's art studio party. It was the first art party/opening we've gone to in years and both of us noticed how much the crowd has changed. That is, we didn't recognize anyone except for one guy who we seem to always see at these kinds of events. Needless to say, I felt a bit old.

But we enjoyed a yummy dinner of gluten-free spaghetti, garlic bread and red wine courtesy of my friend, as well as some interesting conversation with her and her friend for several hours before heading to the party. And (no bias here), my friend's art was the "highlight of the show" in Matt's words and in my opinion too.

Here's my favourite piece of hers from the show:

I think this would make a great print. As would this piece, another favourite of mine (not from the show):

Isn't that image just the sweetest? I'm trying to convince her to make prints (so I can have one - hint hint, lol) since the original has already been sold. I think they'd definitely sell well on etsy! She said that her friend (who owns the original) probably wouldn't like the fact that she was making prints of this image. But hello, who owns the copyright? That's right. The artist!

What's your opinion on this?
