Boot Scootin' CUTE

I was recently asked to do a 'twin Texas theme' set, and well, a few things crossed my mind, but nothing says Texas 'louder' than Cow'girl' Boots and Cow'boy' Hats. 

Being the twins were one boy, one girl - I wanted them to be 'alike' but different, and after a lot of dilberation this is what we can up with:

Twin Boot Scootin' Set

Isn't the set PRECIOUS!!! The cowboy hat for the boy is done in brown minky with a blue and brown band, and the cowgirl boots are done in pink for an extra girlie touch - I just loved them together!!

 Here are the shirts seperately:



Cowgirl Boots



Minky Cowboy Hat





And in all fairness, I must say that the set can easily be switched or done both boots or both hats :o), which I think would look equally CUTE!

In taking the CUTE factor to the NEXT true TEXAS level, I was also asked to do a little more 'louder' version of the boots for another girl, but this time on one of those gorgeous pink ruffle dresses; and here is how it came out...  (be prepared for CUTENESS overload)... 

Blingy Boots PINK ruffle dress

Don't you just LOVE the hot pink sequin boots on the pink ruffle dress!  Let me just tell you, in person - it is AMAZING.  It shines and glitters and sparkles just right :o) 

This particular dress was for a special going away present, so the princess recieving will have a 'piece' of Texas to take with her... I think it was accomplished in sheer style!

Here is the full length of the dress:

The Twin shirt set, the shirts individually and the dress will all be added to my shop shortly :  Three Monkey's Unique Etsy Shop

Pink Ruffle Dress with Pink Sequin Boots

Don't forget, you can ALWAYS change it up to match your MoNkEyS personality!!!  All fabric options are listed on my facebook page

Hope you loved these as much as I did!  I sure enjoyed making them!

Until next time, Squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

Summer is...

fast approaching!!

And I tell you, The week starts on Monday and I feel like I blink my eyes and we are at Church on Sunday.  I don't know where the days are going and how the time is going so quickly but WOW, I can tell that Summer is around the corner and it is exciting.

This week has been fabulous.  Been planning fabulous trips to the pools, parks, orchards, and fun Mommie things... and tonight is the big VBS planning, which is the first year for both of my boys to be able to attend. I am so excited to be apart/ teach this year at VBS along with my boys! 

The oldest is in full swing with 'Nastics' as he calls it (Gymnastics) and yesterday he had his BIG Spring Show and it was so CUTE!  He was so proud when he was awarded his medal (see picture below).  He wore it all day and showed everyone!  But even though he LOVES 'Nastics' his life would not be complete without his sports and that is what consumes our Saturdays :o)  Right now it is Soccer, and it is so FUN to watch him play.

Now when he is at 'Nastics' he likes to tumble, he doesn't like the beam, but he LOVES the uneven bars, especially when they get to do 'advanced tricks with the instuctors help.  Here he is getting to do a back flip dismount off the uneven bars...  He did well and was SO EXCITED!

 

Of course at the very end was the awards ceremony, and here he is getting his medal - he was one proud boy and I was one proud Mommie :o)  Still am - I love this boy so much and all the energy he has!

 

Of course, I think it is busy now, but Summer 'school' session hasn't started and the youngest is still attached to my hip - HA!  I can't imagine what the schedule will be like trying to chase after both of their schedules ... Exhausting I am sure, but I am looking forward to it!

Don't you just LOVE the arm sneak from the youngest for the medal ;)

Don't you just love that picture... even at such a young age - sibling rivarly has began.... My youngest is definitely my 'sneaky' one!!

In honor of all the FUN sports that have been going on around here - I found a 'Varsity' Stitch with Raggy Edge that I paired with personalization that I completed the other night.  Here it is - tell me what you think:

Varsity (raggy edge) applique with personalization
can be done in any color combo

The varsity tee can be found on my Etsy (HERE) It can be personalized for both boys or girls and in any color scheme!  Don't like the way the name is, you can move it to the bottom or across the letter - YOU PERSONALIZE :o)  It is all custom :o)  Enjoy!
Until next time, Squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

new trend

In my line of 'secondary' work, first being Mommie :o)  I am privi'd to get the oppurtunity to create beautiful and handsome pieces for children.  A lot of the time, I am blessed to be able to create the oh so SPECIAL Coming Home Outfit, which, everytime, I get to do this, tickles me to the core!!!

How super special to know, that something you put your time and love and effort in, is going to be used on such a monumentous day, a day that will forever be remember in the minds of Mom and Dad, and a the special family member that get to be there to witness it!

I am just in awe each time, I get to read special notes or Thank you's, on how my pieces were the 'perfect fit' - which in other ways makes me giggle because as a Mom of 2, I know that nothing ever truely 'fits' a newborn :o)  but it always ends up looking perfect :o)


Lately, though, I have seen a trend, and I am so EXCITED about it, but don't know if I could ever do it?!?!  Let's see what your thoughts are...  When I show you this picture what are your thought ...

Double Set

Did you guess, twins?  Well, your wrong if you did - Ha!  The answer is this:  The customer is one of many fabulous customer's I have that want the *S*U*R*P*R*I*S*E* !!!  How AWESOME is that!  I am thrilled about this but not sure if I, and my 'ocd' could ever let me do this - ;)

Why 2 in the picture you ask then:  So instead of finding out what your having around week 20, you get that BIG surprise in the delivery room - WOW! So they buy one boy and one girl outfit since they don't yet know.  This is so cool to me and yet so strange - I LOVE IT!  There are so many things in life now that are there, right there in front of us, and not much is left up for a surprise, so why not take this beautiful blessing that is given to us and let it be a surprise.

I know, trust me, you are wondering about the nursery and shopping and all the other fun things that go along with 'finding' out.  I have been thinking a lot about this, and come to the conclusion of : Why not do this after the baby is born?

With both of my boys I found out they were boys early on - and it was EXCITING! but if I am ever given the oppurtunity to have another, maybe, just maybe, I will let it be a surprise for a few more weeks :o) 

They always say the best things in life are worth waiting for...

Just something to think about.

Have a wonderful day

Until next time, squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

Sun & Fun

Oh Spring is here, and what FUN it is!!! 

My MoNkEyS and I have already done so many wonderful things, and it is only getting better. Picnics, bluebonnets, pictures, and just plain fun ADVENTURES.

With Spring, one of the most FUN things is a wardrobe change. Instead of boots, and jeans and jackets...we trade that all in for flip flops/sandals, shorts and tanks.  And nothing completes this wonderful weather than Spring colors.

And of course all this weather means that Easter is fastly approaching!  YEAH!!  Bring on the egg hunts and chocolate candy!!!

I have had so much fun introducing so many new products over the last few weeks, and am so pleased that y'all are pleased with too!!   I never knew that a ruffle dress and romper would BOOM like they have - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

With nothing but boy MoNkEyS in this home, we don't get the honor of wearing the ruffle dress, but are sure having fun with the romper, and spring time tees.

In fact, I just went and had my MoNkEyS spring time pictures taken and I put my littlest in the white romper with a seersucker circular monogram.  I LOVED the way it turned out, not so much on the picture but definitely the outfit!!!

And yes, I did this outfit in the weeeeeee hours before leaving that morning, because I could sleep and felt that he needed another 'outfit' change for the shoot - HA!

But if you are looking for a romper for your MoNkEy many color options and combos are available.  Any of my designs, applique or monogram can be put on the rompers, and ruffle dress for that fact.  If you are looking for something special, just ask!  I am sure we can figure it out!!

Other Color Options:  Key Lime, Navy, Light Pink, Ash Grey, and White

key lime

navy



light blue



light pink
















These rompers are Rabbit Skins, and the sizes offered are standard, 6m, 12m, and 18m.  Size chart is on the Etsy listing ;)   If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I look forward to creating all the new and fun things y'all can think of!!

Thank you for your continued support!

Until tomorrow, Squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

'tie'ing to be like Daddy

A dear friend of mines', best friend, is having her first baby, and it's a BOY!  YEAH! 

The beautiful shower was this past weekend, and I was asked to help with a 'special request' item.

How CUTE are these:

The onesies and FABULOUS fabric were supplied, along with the creative ideas... and that, my friends, is how they turned out.  I personally think they turned out fabulous; and of course, my 'fabulous' photog skills aren't really doing the oneises justice but hopefully you can imagine the real life cuteness!!!

Here are a couple other pics:

Seersucker with Monogram

Guitar with name

And well... I still have not decided which one is my favorite.  I think they are both adorable, and I can't wait to see Baby Davis in them!

Until next time, Squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

Once last time...  Check it out - HERE ;)

Tip my hats to the boys...

This week was definitely a BOYS week!!  WOW!  I think almost every shirt I did was an order for a handsome prince somewhere :o)  How FUN!!!

It appears that I have a "knack" for the boy things... hmmm???  Could this be because of my 2 monkeys?!?!?!  Ha!  I hope!  I give them full credit for my motivation and most of my inspiration, the other inspiration comes from my customers. It never ceases to amaze me the wonderful ideas that I am meet with almost daily, definitley weekly; whether it be different color combinations, that I hadn't thought of, or a completely new design all together... It's just AWESOME!!!

Boy Onesie

And those are just to 'show' a few!!!  I just love them all!!!  I wish I could share all the wonderful color combinations that I get to see and ship out, they are all awesome.

On another note, decided tonight to start working on St. Patrick's Day. I know it is a little early, but if I don't move on to another holiday I am going to become Valentine obsessed :o)

I am doing a St. Patrick's Day onesie right now and it is super cute for either boy or girl.  Of course, it will be previewed for a boy.... because I am doing it for my Greyson :o)   It is a rather elaborate design and time consuming, so it will be listed at a higher price, but not to high, I promise...  Stay tuned...

Until tomorrow,  Enjoy your 'MoNkEyS'
