I've been busy making more fun new cosplay aprons for you. Lots of geek inspired and even my own version of Anna's dress.

Keep watching, because I'm working on some pretty awesome new Chef's Apron designs that are pretty great for the guys too. They will all be in the shop by the end of June.  Don't forget to give ma a like on Facebook. And visit my sister store A Little Geeky at Etsy

Fresh New Ideas - Cospay

I like to sketch with photoshop. It gives me a fairly realistic idea of what my new product will look like. I've already cut the Link and Robin Aprons and they look good, but slightly different. The nice thing is that they are always (so far) even better than my digital sketch. The really nice thing is that I can design yous so you can get a very realistic idea of what you'll receive. I can even put you in the apron if you want. 


These are digital sketches of from top left clockwise: 


Robin, Link, Black Widow, Spiderwoman

Craft Show Season 2014

It's time to get ready for Craft Shows again. And what better way to stand out than in one of my adorable Vendor Aprons. They are so handy.  With 3 big pockets you can keep your phone for credit purchase in one, checks and cash in another and business cards and pens in another. 
Here's a list of some great things to keep right by your side.

cough drops/hard candy for parched throat 
business cards, don't let them get away without one
allergy medicine, don't let a sneeze ruin your sale
tissues, napkins or wet naps for face, food and table
change, keep it where no one else can grab it
your phone, have your lifeline in a handy pocket by your body
pens, pencil and a pad of paper, to sketch, take names and numbers

You can see lots more aprons here

Vendor Aprons

2/23/2014

I've had vendor aprons in my shop for years, but I haven't improved on the design.  Just recently I redesigned my aprons to make them easier to put together and less expensive for me to make some really cool aprons. I will be adding more, but here are a few of the most awesome.

Even though I call them Vendor Aprons, they have a lot of sweet uses. With three big pockets, you can use these for just about everything. These are great at Craft Shows AND crafting, Perfect for Waiters and Servers, Teachers LOVE them, and the kids are very responsive to the colors. The Aprons are just great for moms to use around the house, with pockets to pick up stray toys, or keep a notepad and pencil to jot down needed items or thoughts. I love mine for gardening. So nice to have a handy place for my seeds and my trowel, and they make a wonderfully cool tool belt. Wouldn't your GUY just LOVE a Star Wars tool belt?

The Silliest Things

2/19/2014

There's something about Mercury retrograde that brings all kinds of problems with it. February has been absolutely the worst month I've had in a few years. First an abscessed tooth and following extraction. Then who knows, maybe all the changes to my body from chemicals, made me not as cautious. But I had a bad fall on the driveway.

I assumed it was ice, but I really wasn't paying attention. I had mail in my hands and I was looking around, and all of a sudden my foot flipped up, there was a loud "pop" and I was on the ground. It didn't feel good so I crawled on my hands and knees to the house and called 911. 

It was a very long day in the ER, but to make a long story short, my fibula (ankle) was fractured. 

I guess my ankle could have been a lot worse, I've heard horror stories. Looks like if it doesn't get displaced, I'll have a cast. I'll know for certain next week. I was happy, but now I hear it's actually a shorter recovery with surgery. Who knows.

I have had to increase shipping time by just a few days as I have to add for a bit of pain and dr appointments, but I am still working and shipping. 

I will also be designing new fabric and offering items exclusively here to help with the medical expenses. I'd love it if you can buy, but if not, I'd love you to like and share my facebook page to help get the word out.

Thanks Again and Thanks in advance for your support.

Just to show how much of a geek I really am and to celebrate San Diego Comic Con, I've decided to add Cosplay Aprons to my collection of cool wearables.

These aprons are not only adorable, bit with a little imagination, you can make a reasonably priced costume for conventions or Halloween with them. 

These 4 (clockwise Rainbow Brite, Harley Quinn, Captain America and Police Box),are the first, but I have in the works, Star Trek uniform, Darth Vader and The Little Mermaid. I'm sure there will be more to come. 

So stop in the shop and come celebrate with me.
