My stinky boy is EIGHT. Where did 8 years go since the birth of my 9 1/2 pound bowling ball? He has been celebrating for a week. At the beach he spent the day with his cousin; first the beach, then a movie, then his favorite…icecream cake. Tonite we are going for his favorite supper…Agave A’Rip-Off, er, I mean Agave Azul (Cheeeeeeeeeese Dip!) and Saturday, he and his cronies, along with their dads are going hiking and camping in the Smokies. Phew.
And I’m already thinking FALL…
Yes, it’s a little disconcerting. I have worked like a madman on Fall/Winter designs and prepping for a slew of shows. The world of apparel is a strange beast. Some of the new designs are included in my Fall emailer:
But I’ll save some for a chilly weather post.
I think these will be cool for the bigger boys…
and this one is my favorite newby:

I really like this font:

I just did this one last night…by special request:
as well as this one, also a “custom” order:
That’s some cast, huh? (Actual Colors!)
I also just did this logo for a company in Birmingham…
Be sure to check out the Cupcakery in Beardon (Knoxville). It is so cute…in the brand new shopping center that Kristi is in. And I hear the cupcakes are divine! I did probably 8 designs exclusively for the store (a franchise) and about killed myself to make the Grand Opening date with a huge order. But we made it!
I am now beginning work on another very exciting project…I’ll share more about it later. It’s amazing how the tees have led to a revival of so much of my other stuff…especially logos and stationery. I am having a ball!
I think that’s it for now (or all I have time to chat about anyway.)
Have a GREAT DAY sweet boy. I love you!!!
(Don’t think you’re escaping a photo of you in your new bday tee either…
you may have slipped out of my grip this morning, but the day is young






Happy Birthday Mr H! And I LOVE the maggie tee! So glad I got to see it
