Whew!! What a Week

So we (as in me and my poor neglected little family) made it through our first week of this silly t-shirt nonsense. Turns out it's not so silly after all. I really did not expect much to happen as far as orders go (especially in the first week!!) and would have been tickled about 5 orders...let alone 50!! I just don’t know what to say. ThaNk yOu, ThaNk yOu!! I’m glad there are others out there who think these shirts are as fun as I do. I love ‘em.

My kitchen table currently...

Now the bad news...I have had MajOr issues finding the right sizes and colors of shirts that I need to complete some orders, as some of you very well may know. So I have decided that I am going to STOP taking orders for t-shirts for now :( until I can find a better solution to tracking down shirts...after visiting 7 different stores (some multiple times) in 4 different cities in one week, I figure there has got to be a better way. So I’ll let you know as soon as there is a plan. I will still be making shirts on the tees I have picked up and will get some new ones posted with their colors and sizes as soon as I can. I will also still take orders for onesies for any of those who are interested, I know I can find those.

So the new prices will be as follows:

Onesies (sizes 0-24 mo) $10.00

Tees (sizes 12 mo-10) $12.50


I will also be charging for shipping

Regular mail (7-10 days) $2.50

Rush Orders (priority 2-3 days) $5.00

If you have not received your order from last week, it’s coming...and those discounted prices do still apply if you ordered previous to Sunday. I will get them out soon!!

Thanks again to all of those who ordered, I appreciate all of you. I feel I must give a shout out to the ladies in TwiN FaLLs...WaY tO Go IdaHo!! You girls rock :)

If anyone has questions about their orders please leave a comment or email me at elchill1976@msn.com. I’ll be back soon...I’ve got something else up my sleeve, can’t wait to show you ;)

A Reminder

Just a reminder to all...tOmoRrOw is the laSt daY that you will be able to order shirts fOr tHe discOuNted pRiCe, $10 for tees and $8 for onesies. Prices will go up on Sunday. I hope to have all of the orders I have already received finished up by early next week, if any of you are wondering. Thanks to everyone for such a great first week...I'm overwhelmed!!

HeRe's tHe 'DiLL'

Okay, here's the 'diLL'. I started making these little shirts just for fun (and to practice my sewing skills) and they soon took over my kitchen, family room and boys closets...I'm hooked. So I have decided to make a variety (there's that fiCkLe thing coming in) and post them here. I will be opening up an Etsy shop soon, but for the time being you are welcome to look at and purchase them from here. I would love to give more away but in speaking with my accountant he said it was not ecnomically feasible and suggested otherwise :) So instead, I have a special 'DiLL' for you..for this first week's GraNd OpeNinG I will be selling the t-shirts for $10.00 and the onesies for $8.00, prices will go up after next Saturday. If you are interested leave me a comment with your info (name, a way to get in touch with you, and the item(s) and sizes you are interested in). I am also willing to do custom orders, just leave info on what you are interested in.
