Gettin' Crafty

Something I love to do that I rarely have time to is make crafts. Oh, I have time to start them, it's the finishing part that I can't seem to find the time for. Several years ago, a friend and I decided we were going to start a little craft business and see where it went. I even went to a class on how to start a small business. We had a name, Two Peas in a Pod, and we ordered bags that we hand stamped to put our merchandise in, we bought our supplies and got crafting. I even purchased a sewing machine to make my life easier. Unfortunately, our business was short lived and we only had 1 party at my house where we sold our goods. We each made enough to cover our expenses and that's all we wanted at that point. She and I both secretly would love to do it again some day but I think we'd both agree that we'd let someone else do the manufacturing this time!

I found these adorable shirts on Script and Scribble's website. They were adorable until I saw the outrageous price tag - $42! I immediately thought to myself, "I can do that." The hardest part was finding the plain white t-shirts but the actual production was too easy. I found that I had more pink, girly fabric than boys, so I made Colin's girlfriend (my business partner's daughter) a shirt as well. Here's theirs:

and here's mine:
