~ What boys love ~

My boys are such. . .  boys.

We have an endless supply of matchbox cars and trains (lots and lots of trains) that are always scattered about our house. If I ever have to make a trip outside of my bedroom at night I walk very slowly and cautiously just to make sure that my feet locate the boobie-traps-on-wheels before I become their victim.

I can't say I was surprised at my 4 year old's answer when I aked him "If you could have anything at all on a t-shirt, what would it be?"

"I want a shirt that says 'I love trains!!" 

How silly of me to even ask.   

My 2 year old isn't quite as paticular about what kind of rolling toy it is, as long as it has wheels. He does have a love for fire engines, which he lovingly calls "wee-ooo-wee-oos".
 He wanted his shirt to say "I love wee-oo-wee-oos".  I'm probably the only one who would understand it, so I compromised, since I know how much he loves big trucks and tractors too. He got his own "I love trucks" shirt!

 My sweet little boys have brought me flowers from our yard every day this week. Simon didn't want his picture taken so he hid from the camera, but still gave me my pretty flower.
 How I adore these boys.

My Cantaloupe Corner Etsy shop will be re-opening for a limited time as soon as I get my t-shirt shipment in!

*happy dance*

I would love to add the "I love trains" and "I love trucks" to our Cantaloupe Corner designs. 

Whaddya think? 

i heart specials

Thanks goodness for modern medicine. I am finally feeling almost back to myself again. I have been enjoying the goreous weather that graces our state this time of year, and  I have been finishing up some special orders.

I just had to show this one. It's a set I made for a customer's wedding. Her bridal hairpiece and hair clips for her bridesmaid and daughter.
Her wedding dress is a gorgeous antique style ivory colored dress with layers and layers of lace. To match, I used ivory satin and ivory lace flowers.

~ and I have discovered that I have a secret love for feathers. ~


In my rush to get orders out the door I usually forget to take pics of the custom orders. Some of them take a lot of  time too,*sigh*.
 I really enjoy pouring myself into the custom orders. Here are some that I actually snapped shots of before they jumped into the mailbox.

 This was for a cute little girls Halloween Costume. I printed it in fuchsia ink to match her fuchsia skirt. Have I ever mentioned how fun it is to print with ink. I actually heard myself say "wow!" when I pulled up the screen and saw this shirt for the first time.

This was for an owl-lovin' 2 year old in Canada. I love this one so much I'm thinking about adopting it.
 i heart owls.

I'm working on another fab special order this week for a friend and for my kids too!  I'm suffering from a major case of mommy brain these days so I will do my best to remember to take pictures. no promises.

Feeling green?

If you feel a little green, or it happens to be your favorite color, why not dress the part?
I wasn't planning on attempting to sew costumes this year but when my son told me he wanted to be a green crayon I couldn't pass up the oppurtunity. 

He was so happy with his costume I had to practically wrestle him out of it. He wanted to wear it to play in the sandbox, to dinner, to bed.
I love my kids!

The little guy? He was a lion! He wasn't so happy with his costume.

Let's just say the lion's hair suffered some major damage and the little lion went mane-less. 

I hope everyone had a fun candy-filled Halloween!
