Tote and Tee

Hello,

I am so giddy! I got a Flip Video Camera this weekend so I can start doing a little video blogging here and at my family blog and it is so fun and EASY! My idea is to give you a little glimpse into my life running Tote and Tee. I had fun sharing pics from my work room last week so why not a video, right?

And FYI, I tell it like it is and for the most part won’t clean up before videoing so you see it like it is! (my motivation to just keep it clean in the first place…starting NOW!)

Oh, and in case you are interested in the camera. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $90! I guess they won’t be carrying them anymore, at least at my store. The regular price was $149 so I am jazzed at the deal I got!

In my 5 years of doing this business I have connected with so many amazing ladies. I recently reconnected with one over on Facebook and was just tickled when I saw her write up about my Naughty and Nice tees!

Jump on over to the HipMelon Babywear blog to read what Chey had to say!

I love this part:

“This year however, she has gotten innovative in her quest to keep up with the demand for these super fabulous t’s and she has had them professionally printed, saving her time, and YOU…Money!!”

Yes, as you know I like to help save money/have big sales as often as possible!

While you are over checking out their blog, be sure to check out their webstore HipMelon. They have an amazing selection of eye pleasing baby slings!

This is my favorite pattern:

The shirts are all finished, thought I would share the collection of thread that I used this week.

I was just working on my shirts today and I thought I would give you a little peek at what it looks like in thee ol’ Tee shop! All the letters have been cut for the week, I then lay them out to sort by pattern so they are easy to find when I need to prep the shirt. Next step, stick the letter on and sew! These all should ship by tomorrow.

Oh, and of course my fuel is pictured…Diet Coke. It keeps me going!

I am a wee bit thrilled, no I am totally thrilled to bring you my newest shirts! This year I am trying something a little bit different.  Every Christmas, I do these fun Naughty and Nice tees.  I applique each tee myself and while I do love my sewing machine I find that I just can’t get them done fast enough.  Soo, we are going to give these a whirl this year.  The tees are done in regular Tote and Tee fashion, but I had them professionally printed.  Seriously, I love how they look and I think you will too!  The colors just really pop off the shirt and will make super duper Christmas cards!

Oh, the best thing about these tees…the price! I used to charge $35-$40 per tee because well the words just take a lot longer.  Now they are only $24!! The Naughty is here and the Nice is here.

I make all tees to order but every so often I make an extra.  I have just 5 tees left in our JUST ONE section.  The tees are normally $32 and then I had a super duper sale about a week ago and sold them for $12.  Well, these last 5 tees need a home.  I have no “P” or “E” or “N” around here so I am counting on you to find a home for them! They are only $5 each.  Maybe for a neighbor or a classmate or a niece or nephew?

The JUST ONE tees are here!

I just added a fun sibling set for Halloween. Stripes for boys and dots for girls. I can get these out really quick so you can you them for all of October.

We have Halloween Dots for girls and Halloween Stripes for boys.

Oh, and don’t forget to grab some black/white stripe tights or knee socks to go with your Halloween attire. They are going fast…already!

Any clues on what the kiddos are going to be for Halloween yet? I need to start chatting with my girls about it. Before Abby was born, I would pride myself on making all of April’s costumes myself. Well, 2nd child comes along and that all went out the door! If you know any cool sites with Halloween costumes, leave a comment so I can go take a peek!

I just got this sweet picture in from one of my little pals…so cute!

She is wearing the now retired La Zagala tee with pink and olive striped knee socks. So fun!
