Taking a break...

2011-03-19T20:46:00.000-07:00

I have been incredibly blessed to have amazing customers to work with this past year. Right now, I have decided to take a break from taking new orders for Rocket Ships & Elephants. My family and I have quite a bit planned for the coming months and I will be taking some time off. I will most likely return after September 1st.

In my off time, I will be working on some new ideas and designs. I also have quite a few new recent orders to post. Lots of cute stuff!!

Thank you for your continued support!

Big Sis

2010-04-14T19:33:00.000-07:00

I was pretty excited to make this shirt and I love it!! I can remember searching for the "perfect" big brother shirt for Hayden when we found out #2 was on the way and it was hard to find one that I just loved! Now I have that perfect option! :)

Other possibilities are "Big Bro" , "Little/Lil' Sis", "Little/Lil' Bro". These custom shirts start at $18.

Pink & Paisley

Ready to Set Sail

2010-04-11T12:15:00.000-07:00

I absolutely LOVE this fabric. As soon as I found it I knew I would have to create something using it! With summer quickly approaching and dreams of the pool, beach, and warm weather I came up with 2 super cute designs.

A Set for 2 Brothers

2010-04-09T20:30:00.000-07:00

This order came in for 2 little boys. This was a special order for the double circle, but a smaller double circle. So, I also have this option now available! One of the appliques was done on a romper for the younger little guy.

The Romper applique is available up to 24 m, but runs SMALL, so really only up to about a regular 9 month size. Price for a romper is $18.00

Soccer Girl

A New Shirt

2010-03-31T11:53:00.000-07:00

Quite often I get asked if I make shirts for little girls, or have any "girly" fabric. My answer is always YES!! I have several fabrics to choose from, that would be perfect for a shirt for a precious little girl.

This past week I received a custom order using the brown paisley fabric with a hot pink coordinating solid.

I love the pink and brown together. This shirt is definitely a combination of fun colors!!

Just in time for Spring!!

2010-03-24T12:05:00.000-07:00

We had another birthday party to go to this weekend. This time I made a hooded towel for the little girl. I hope she enjoys it as much as my boys have loved using theirs!!

I added a fabric trim to the hood of the towel. The fabric is the same as the initial on the back.I love how it turned out. I am ready to make a few more for my little guys...I am thinking a few for our trips to the pool this summer!

An Elephant & Baseball

2010-03-05T12:39:00.000-08:00

This order was for a little guy with 2 older brothers. One brother loves elephants and the other plays on a baseball team whose team colors are purple and black. The final result...a baseball elephant!

Pink!!

2010-03-05T12:24:00.000-08:00

This shirt was ordered for a little girl who loves all things pink. Keeping this in mind, I tried to create a unique shirt, that used lots of pink and was also fun for a 3 year old!

Rocketships

2010-03-05T12:16:00.000-08:00

Hayden, my almost 3 year old, is really into rocket ships right now. So, I'm always on the lookout for fun rocket ship fabric and fun ways to put it all together. This shirt is his newest shirt in his rocket ship collection.

And just for fun...

here's a peek of the adventures I enjoy every day!!

A baseball fan!

2010-03-03T11:41:00.000-08:00

I am so excited to be able do my first "happy customer" post!! This little guy just received his shirt that his mom ordered for him! This is a double circle initial appliqué. I think the solid circle makes the patterned fabric "pop" and shows off the baseballs.

I would love to add to my "happy customer" posts. So if you have ordered a shirt for your child, please email me a picture of them in their new shirt! I am really enjoying putting together new designs for different orders. It is a blessing to work with you!!

Hooded Towels

2010-03-01T06:27:00.000-08:00

Some of my favorite baby gifts were the hooded bath towels I received for my boys. But just as fast as everything else they grow out of, those little towels soon didn't wrap around their bodies and keep them warm after their baths!

This weekend I worked on making them a few new towels and they are the perfect size for my 2 year old and 11 month old! A personalized towel would make a great birthday gift for your little one or their friends! I can also create a hooded beach towel, the perfect addition to your pool bag this summer!!

Burp Cloth

2010-02-16T18:45:00.001-08:00

My sister called this week and wanted a baby gift for a friend. I appliqued a simple "m" to turn a plain burp cloth into something cute and personal!!

New Designs & New Fabric

2010-02-16T18:24:00.000-08:00

This past week I have been working on a few orders. I enjoyed working with some new fabric that I just got in!

These two shirts were done for a friend. She ordered them for twin girls. I like the look of the lowercase letter all by itself. Very cute for a little girl!
A shirt using some of the fun new fabrics I just got in!!
Does your child have a 2 name first name? No problem!! I love how this turned out and I don't feel like the letters had to be squeezed on the shirt! So cute!!

Birthday Shirts

2010-02-10T19:07:00.000-08:00

I LOVE birthdays! I always have fun planning my boys special day. What better way to let everyone know it's their birthday than with a special birthday shirt. One option is to use fabric that matches the theme of the party. For example my youngest son will soon be one, we are celebrating with a circus themed birthday. I created his shirt using circus fabric for one circle, and then a coordinating fabric for the other circle and his "J". On the back I added a star with the 1.

My Inspirations!

2010-02-10T18:25:00.000-08:00

These two little boys are full of so much adventure! I love to watch them take in the many wonders of life!! God has blessed us in so many ways....

Fabrics!

2010-02-08T13:26:00.001-08:00

I have created a Picasa Web Album to display the different fabrics I have available. You can see some of the fabrics pictured on the right of the blog under "Ordering Information". To see all of the fabrics click on one of the pictures of the fabric, or click below.

Fabrics

Pinks & Greens!

2010-02-08T12:38:00.000-08:00

I made these 2 shirts for a sweet little girl. I love how they turned out! I can't wait to show her mom!

New Designs Coming Soon!

2010-02-06T19:26:00.000-08:00

I am currently working on some designs for a couple of special little girls! I will post pictures when these projects are completed.

Rocket Ships? Of Course!

2010-02-05T19:58:00.000-08:00

As the name says, of course I do rocket ships! One example of the rocket ships available is this more complex, layered appliqué. I combined four pattern fabrics and used a thicker stitch. The darker thread provides contrast and the satin stitch covers the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying. I can do other designs as well; I am always looking for a challenge!

What's in a Name?

2010-02-05T19:51:00.001-08:00

With so many creative ways to display a name, one of my favorite projects is this chair cover for my son's first birthday. Of course, the cupcake and his name are appliquéd in the traditional manner, but the candle and flame are tacked on with temporary spray adhesive so that I can add candles for future years. What better way to honor the birthday boy!

Custom pillowcases make great presents. Since it is used daily (or nightly), it makes a great gift or fun addition to any bedroom.

Wear Your Initials

2010-02-05T19:38:00.000-08:00

All kinds of fun things can be done with your child's initials. Whether they are displayed in a circle or simply placed on the shirt, your child's initials will give any piece of clothing a special touch.

When ordering have the shirt color, size, applique fabric pattern, and desired theme in mind.

Each applique is applied using heat and bond backing and then the border is sewn allowing the edges to slightly frey. This gives the design a softer feel with softer lines.

I can also mix solids and patterns using high contrast to make the pattern pop!

Rocket Ships and Elephants

2010-02-05T18:58:00.000-08:00

Rocket Ships and Elephants celebrates the love we have for our children. Very little is more rewarding than the smile that spreads across your child's face as they pull on their favorite shirt. I take pride in designing and sewing custom appliqués for any occasion.

Please contact me if you see something you would like to order or if you have your own custom design in mind.

Appliquéd shirts and pillowcases start at $14 (plus shipping), Chair covers start at $20 (plus shipping). The typical turnaround is 7-10 days.

These make a great gift!
