Almost There!

We are almost up and running! Please check out the pages and see the shirts we have designed so far! We are really having a good time with it! We are learning; therefore making mistakes, and figuring it out along the way. The two biggest challenges we are having is inventory of shirts...we are not certain if we want to keep a stock or just order them as we go...and if we do the latter we need a company that will ship fast, while not charging as much as a small country for shipping. We are just two of us with the the occasional slave labor of our children, so we are not doing this as a true, quit-your-day-job business. We are right now having fun and hoping to throw some money towards our daughter in college...woop woop Junior year!!

So as far as shirt colors, styles etc...please be patient with us. I think I have narrowed it down to two brands, one for guys and ones for gals. The fabrics are soft, comfy and flattering for everyone. That was a challenge to find the right cut, especially for women. I have "fat" arms and I am self-conscious of them, so it was important to me to find something that fit, hid the flaws while still being feminine and pretty. The kid's tees are so much easier....ahh such a simpler time! The shirts that we chose come in almost every color you can imagine, including the heathers. If you don't see it on display just ask, chances are we can get it!

The second challenge is in the design. Because we have chosen such soft fabrics for our tees, the fabric shifts a little and stretches more making the placement of the image not always on center....and although we ourselves are a little off kilter, we do not want our products to reflect that! We are working on a solution and hopefully the next batch will be perfect!

Almost forgot, we are also working on the Paper or Plastic Check Out page...hopefully soon. If you need something before it is up and running, just give us a shout.

Like I said we are not corporate, we are mom, pop, and the children serving under duress...please be patient with us.

We are nice people and we will treat you nicely...because let's face it, NICE MATTERS!  Thanks for checking back in with us! ....and go ahead just ask!  PEACE!!

We are getting there...

Geesh...we really thought when we decided to create T Shirts that we would get our equipment and be up and running in a week or so...how unbelievably  delusional we are!!  Life gets busy sometimes and it seems like there are not enough hours in a day to learn a new "trade"! ...and seriously we are just too tired sometimes to go out to the garage. Sad sometimes to realize you are not 20-something anymore and going to bed by 8 just sounds better. Moving on...Can I tell you how excited we are to say that we finally got to the stage where we put the emulsion (the stencil-y stuff) on the silk screens tonight. Holy cow the first ones were a disaster and Tony made a colossal mess, but I think we (and by we, I mean he) got it figured out. They are drying as I type and hopefully tomorrow morning when we check them they will have no drips, runs or gaps...fingers crossed!!! If all goes well and we don't have to spend countless hours removing a mess that we created tonight, we will have our first silkscreens made on Thursday or Friday!! Can't wait to get into the painting part and getting my hands dirty! =) Wish us luck! Peace!
