A new fan... one of the saturday night live crew's new show made me wet my pants so much the other night- check out trust fund kitty and gay robot

So much to tell you.....

King Louis Kustoms

So back on fathers day I made Little L and S matching t-shirts to wear with my designs.  That started the ball rolling and since then we have started a line of kustom made items including baby tees, baby onesies and a few other bits and bobs.  Its been keeping me busy but very excited that I am finding a creative outlet in my maternity leave that makes me very happy even though I have been so busy between it and new mum duties I have been very content and am glad I did it.  Here are some pics of our goods so far

we are doing a mix of screen prints and transfers and things are going well after lots of testing and trialling.

So far we have a couple of series including the 45 series like the baby love design I made for fatehrs day, a nostaglic collection with toys and bits from our childhhod and a series of silouhettes.

Afternoon nap time

Things they never told you about motherhood
Dear Little L,
Please hurry up and learn to speak english so I can explain to you the benefits of going down for your afternoon nap.
Love Mum

wish I did this..... photography

found this blog about a dad who takes photos of his two little girls for his parents to keep up with them even though they don't live nearby.  You can find the blog here. The photos are stunning and so fun... wish I did this...

the longest wait ever....

Today has felt like it has gone FOREVER... I hate waiting for news, and I hate it even more today because it has felt like I watched every minute and second go by.  Not being at work was not a good thing today, although Lou has kept me busy, my brain has still been ticking away and no matter how much washing, ironing, tee shirt making, washing up, sweeping and cleaning I do.... I still hate waiting today

I've been making... tees! our first fathers day

Last time I posted was a couple of weeks ago and I was very excited for our first fathers day.  I ended up making two tees with 45 records on them- one for S and one for little L so they were matching.  Little L's record label had Baby Love by the Supremes and S's had Daddy Cool by Boney M on his label- they loved them!

Anyway- that started the cogs working and since then I have been making a whole bunch of tees and onesies.  It's something I have always talked about and once I started I could not stop.... and then came the birth of King Louis Kustoms.. but I'll save that story for another day when I have more time

Things I am looking forward to....

1. Holiday in summer- shacking up
2. getting some sun on my skin- not leather handbag wrinkly and brown just kissed by the sun and full of vitamin D and all the goodness you feel during Spring before it gets so ungodly hot you wonder if the whole earth is melting not just the ice caps
3. Little L talking
4. Little L and S waking up so we can have our first fathers day celebration
