Lil Miss Tiggy Winkle and the Frog Prince

December 19, 2009 by Ashley Hackshaw

Two new prints today: a little hedgehog and a frog prince (just in time for movie!)

Sienna is going tomorrow to see the movie The Princess and the Frog with her grandparents.

I’m hope to do a few with a crown applique as well.

He’s got rhinestones for eyes and on his crown.

I added a little rhinestone and bow to this hedgehog (or is it a porcupine) to make her a girl.

Both little animals are actually a font by Pixel Farms. I love all their cute little creatures. Just search on Google….there are several places to download them. I redrew the frog though to make his mouth smaller and added toes and a crown. Now I’ve got to get to work on Sienna’s dress so she can wear it to the movie tomorrow!

You can make the frog prince yourself if you want. I’ve attached the edited graphic below. Just make sure to link back if you use it. Thanks!

Revenge of the Nerds (Correction)

December 19, 2009 by Ashley Hackshaw

Remember when pocket protectors were the ultimate geek status symbol? Not anymore. Here is new little screenprint I am adding to some dresses: full pocket protector complete with crayons, a pencil and a little sock monkey thanks to my friend Lisa’s suggestion.

Here it is on a simple bubble dress (in my etsy shop):

Geek IS the new chic! I’m all about teaching my daughter that being different, smart and a little nerdy is not just okay….it is awesome!

A Plump Matryoshka

December 18, 2009 by Ashley Hackshaw

Sienna had her little pajama Christmas party at her “pre” pre-school today. I made these t-shirts for her teachers. I made one for myself and I guess I didn’t realize that some screenprints look different on kiddos than they do adults. While the little matryoshka lady is still pretty cute….my chest makes her appear a little plumper than normal (and I don’t have much of a chest). I used t-shirts from Old Navy….and I love them because they are so soft and LONG (I’m 5’11” tall….so I’m always on the lookout for ANYTHING long).

*I sure am glad the back of this photo is blurry…..so you can’t see the laundry bomb or the mess of a bathroom I have going on. I don’t even close my drawers anymore which drives Mr. Lil Blue Boo crazy (new year resolution).

I also delivered some Christmas presents. Do you have items in your shop that just won’t sell? I sure as heck do. But….clothing that the Etsy buyers have rejected is going to make some little girls and boys VERY happy. Shelter from the Storm is getting a a huge bag of samples and items I’ve taken down from my store…..they are all tagged and packaged to look good as new. It has been a rough year for a lot of people….just an idea if you are looking for alternative ways to give back.

Well, back to sewing. Sienna is still napping from her big morning…STILL wearing her pajamas. I’m also working on a BIG idea for January with my sponsor Dharma Trading that I can’t wait to roll out to all of you! You are going to love it I know! I must keep a secret…I must keep a secret…..argghhhh
