I can do these team sweatshirts, long sleeve t's, or ss t's for any team. They are perfect for Mom's who have kids playing any sport!

First Tutu!

2012-02-06T17:44:00.000-08:00

After tons of request and tons of, "No, I'm sorry, I don't do tutu's", I made my first tutu. I must admit it was very easy, so I will add these to my line to combo with onesies/t's. I am working on the top to go with this tutu and will post when the whole outfit is done!

A little bit of lately!

2012-01-30T18:37:00.000-08:00

I can't believe January has come and gone! I have had a very busy month, but I'm finally getting around to update! The month started off excellent! I took a Mommy only trip to Nashville to visit with two girl friends. I have been very busy with orders, but got a little slowed down last week. We traveled to GA because my Husband's Grandmother was in very bad shape. She passed on January 23rd, but is in a much better place! Heaven gained a great Angel, as she was such a sweet lady!

Happy New Year!

2012-01-03T10:36:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I am so excited to see what 2012 has in store! So far it has started off to be a great year! I enjoyed a few days of down time over the Christmas Holiday, even though I have sewn at least one item almost every day. I worked right up until Christmas Eve and spent all last week re-organizing my house and office. I feel SO much better starting the new year with a clean house and office!

I mailed this precious snow girl outfit yesterday (boy version coming soon!)....glad I didn't rush to get a lot mailed yesterday because who would have known that the post office would be closed on a NON HOLIDAY!!! I suppose all the workers deserve a break after the Christmas rush!

Speaking of mailing, I have mailed bags filled with packages over the past few months. Mailing this many packages is bound to bring problems at some point. I have lost a few, and I am not happy about it one bit. I have always gotten delivery confirmations through the post office, but obviously they don't do squat even though they cost $.80/package. Due to frustration with the postal service, I bought a handy little scale last week and I will now be weighing my own packages and printing labels through Paypal. This is much better for us all, as Paypal e-mails the customer when the label is printed and we can track the package every step of the way! I am hoping that this is a much better option for us all!! Be sure to save your e-mail with the tracking number in the event that we need to locate the package!

I have a list of New Year's resolutions including getting on a better budget and saving as much money as possible, getting at least 30 min of exercise in a day, etc. The biggest resolution, let's say priority, I have this year is to make more time for my family. This business has consumed me for the past 2 years. That is a good and bad thing.....good because I pour my heart and soul into my work and this business, bad because it often leaves me cooped up in the office while my son plays alone or hangs out with Daddy.

Leland is now 2 and like a sponge! He seriously learns multiple new things a day now and amazes me! His new favorite thing is to help me cook. He pulls his little chair right up to the counter and is ready to stir, pour, or simply watch!

Time management is definitely the hardest part of owning your own business, especially when it is out of your home and you have a child home with you every day.

For this reason, this year, no matter what I will have a working daily schedule that I go by no matter what. This will allow me to have my work done in time to cook dinner with my buddy, eat dinner with my family, and spend time with them before bed. Now, this definitely means I will still stay up later at night sometimes, but that is simply the nature of this business! I love what I do and would not trade it for the world, but I can't compromise my family time in the process!!

I will also only be mailing 2 days a week from here on out. I will mail on Monday and Thursday. Don't worry if you are needing a package by a certain date, I also gave my books an organizational overhaul and I am much more on top of scheduling orders as well!

I would encourage all of you blog only readers to bookmark the business fb page for Lil Monkey Designs. You do not have to be on fb to view the business site. FB gets updated much more frequently and I post all sales there including the brand new Frugal Friday deals that will be posted every Friday!!

I love feedback and questions, so feel free to like pics and comment often!

As I said above, I am so ready for 2012! It's going to be a great year! I pray that each of you are as blessed as I am this year. I also challenge you to sit down and relax each day. We often go and go and get so worked up, but rarely take time to soak up our wonderful life! After all, at the end of the day, our God, family, and friends are what is important, so lets make time for them each day!

The last of the 2011 orders...

2011 is quickly coming to an end. I can not believe how fast this year has gone by. It really seems as if we are getting ready for Summer (minus the cold weather), but in reality it is time for Christmas and 2012 already!

This year has been such a great year. I have been busy all year long, especially the past few months. I have been working extra hard the past few weeks to get all the orders out. I am almost completely done with all 2011 orders and the last of them will be mailed this week. I am taking a big batch tomorrow and the remaining ones will go Wed.

I am still open to taking new orders that need to be complete by Christmas and I am definitely taking orders for January!

Even though I am getting things mailed and done with orders, I am taking this down time to give my house the TLC it needs before we have a house full of guest Christmas day and just to in general give it a good organizational overhaul!!

I had time today to get all 135+ rolls of ribbon put on the new ribbon organizer rack and I was able to get my fabric pile picked up and put back in bins. In doing this, I totally realized that I am officially a ribbon and fabric hoarder LOL! Don't get me wrong, I use everything that I have, but I do have a good bit of excess that needs to go!

I am working on a good sale for the first of the year, so save some of your Christmas money and keep your eyes open in the next few weeks for me to post!

I have a TON of fabric that needs to go, so there will be a HUGE SALE on outfits.

I hope that everyone has a very blessed Holiday season. I also ask that you take time to remember the reason for the season and take time to actually enjoy the season and your family without getting all caught up in presents!!

I was out doing a little shopping this weekend and there are already some certified crazy people out and about, especially on the roads, so please be careful!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I have stitched out 30 Santa's over the past two weeks! The Santa pocket was such a cute design when I purchased it, but I didn't realize that the pocket wasn't an actual applique'....

I had to hand fold and iron 27 pockets before I stitched out all the t's! Pretty time consuming, but the end result was worth it!

First of the Christmas orders...

2011-11-21T16:14:00.000-08:00

I had a few more turkey orders come in over the weekend, so I am up to 42 total turkeys this year! Now, I am DONE with Thanksgiving stuff! I got started on Christmas orders this weekend. Here are some of the pictures, but there are a lot more to come!

2011-11-18T18:32:00.000-08:00

This week has been very busy, yet very productive. I am so happy to be done with ALL Thanksviging orders! All of them are headed to their owners. I have done a TON of Thanksgiving/Fall stuff this year, but this pumpkin is by far my favorite!

This cute wrap around dinosaur makes such a cute little boys top. I also have a wrap around giraffe.

I love this super sweet baby blue/teal and gray dot. It makes any little boy look precious!

This ribbon turkey was by far the most popular for girls this year. I did each one in different ribbons and they all turned out cute!

This precious mini skirt will make an adorable outfit when you add boots and tights!

I have done a total of 37 turkeys this year!! I love what I do, but I am kind of tired of stitching out turkeys! I have mailed 27 packages since Tuesday. All but one were multiple item packages. Needless to say, I am pretty exhausted! I am taking advantage of a night off before jumping back in tomorrow morning. I will be working on a lot of Christmas stuff this weekend and I hope to have all orders to this point out by Dec. 1!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, and that those of you who are traveling have a safe trip!

This brown sweat shirt is SO adorable! I can do your monogram in any color sweat shirt and fabric combo.

Santa Baby!

2011-11-15T13:31:00.000-08:00

This outfit turned out precious! I have made all the outfits I can out of the yardage I had of the Santa fabric. I am still searching, but for now, it is not available!

Lots of cute stuff was mailed this week...

2011-11-15T13:25:00.000-08:00

My Mom asked how many turkey's I have done so far this year, and I am definitely pushing 30 or more!

The above turkey had chocolate minky dot ruffle pants, but I forgot to get a picture of them both together. Very cute!!

I love this snowman! I think he would be precious in red and baby blue for boys and pink and green for girls. This is an all Winter outfit!

Hectic, Yet Productive Week!

2011-11-04T18:21:00.000-07:00

WOW! This week has been something else! I am not sure where to begin... Let's see, I lost 3 package thanks so our dear Postal Service. None of which have been found yet. I have spent a lot of time on the phone with multiple offices trying to locate these supposedly confirmed "Delivered" packages with NO luck and NO help! This upsets me tremendously, as I have spent a LOT of time of each of these packages.

I looked into shipping with UPS instead and that is 100% out of the question. They are OUTRAGEOUS! I use them occasionally and that is it!

My son and I have been fighting a bad cold all week. I am so tired of being stopped up and having a runny nose, so I am sure my little guy is as well!

I was able to sit and complete over 20 pairs of pants earlier this week, however, with the lost packages and taking care of a clingy little one, the tops are slower moving. I am almost all the way done, which will mean that I am almost all the way caught up to being back on a quick turn around YAY!!!

We will be out of town for my Husband's 10 year class reunion this weekend (I feel old!), but we will return early Sunday so that I can get the remainder of these outfits shipped Monday!

I am not sure how many people are able to view my post on fb now that they have changed everything. If you would like me to stay "important" in your news feed, please continue to visit the page often and "like" or comment on stuff you like!!

I appreciate all your business and your patience with me over the past few hectic weeks!!

A note to my customers...

2011-10-27T19:39:00.000-07:00

I have always felt the need to be up front and honest with all of my customers, so I wanted to do a post about what you get in an item that is purchased from me.

First of all, please remember that all of my items are HANDMADE!!!

I do not make the t-shirts, burp cloths, or bibs, but I do all of the applique/monogram myself.

I do not feel that I am overpriced at all! I feel that I am right in line with several online boutiques that I keep up with and we all sell similar items. I am considerably less than store bought boutique items! You can easily buy 2 of my outfits for the price of one item in some stores.

I stand behind my items, meaning I am happy to fix any damaged item. I inspect all items before I mail, but at times, I do make a mistake and miss it.

All of my pants, dresses, bubbles, shortalls, and longalls are fully lined! I promise you that most store bought boutique items and a lot of online items are NOT lined! I refuse to make super thin gingham items for children to wear, especially in the cold months where they will freeze! I will never stop lining items no matter how much money it saves!

All of my longalls, shortalls, and bubbles have snaps! Once again, I promise a lot of the store bought and online items do not have snaps. A lot of people cut this corner to save money and just put a seam up the leg...I HATE this! I have a child myself and know first hand the convenience of the snaps!

I use good stabilizer on all applique/monogram items. I also use a special product that makes the applique a lot stiffer than most, meaning when you wash and dry it, it isn't going to look all wrinkled. It will stay perfectly crisp, no matter how many times it is washed, yet still be very comfortable for the child/adult to wear!

I use good quality t-shirts, burp cloths, and bibs. I do not use super thin/see through t's. I also use thicker burp cloths. They hold up and applique/monogram better. All of my bibs are white terry cloth and no not have the cheap plastic lining on the back.

I felt it was important to list the most important features of the products I offer. Most of the time, my customers order solely off of a picture and don't know what that product is all about!

I hope this post reassures people that think my items are a little pricey. I assure you, you get what you pay for and that you get a product that will last! I am also allow all of my outfits to be very custom to your taste, meaning I allow the customer to pick pretty much every aspect of the item being made.

Please e-mail any questions or orders to lilmonkeydesigns@gmail.com

Thanks so much for your business!!

Busy, Busy Week!

2011-10-27T14:00:00.000-07:00

This week has been filled with very little sleep and lots of up all night! This means that I am in full swing busy Holiday season!! Here are some of the orders I mailed this week. I have tried to take pictures of all the "new" stuff or never done stuff this week, but I have missed a few with just simple lack of time! I am quickly learning that there are just not enough hours in the day!

I am working hard to get all the turkeys out by this weekend and I will be mailing the orders from the last sale early next week. Thanks so much for your patience!

If you would like to order anything Thanksgiving or Christmas, please do so as soon as possible! I hope everyone has a wonderfull time this weekend doing all kinds of fun Halloween activities!!

I did this AU pillowcase for a Birthday gift. I think they are perfect stocking stuffers or Birthday gifts for older kids. I can add a name, ribbon, etc. and do any applique.

A weekend full of work and fun...

2011-10-16T20:09:00.000-07:00

I have been SO busy lately! I got a lot of orders done and mailed out last week. On top of all my regular orders, I had several large t-shirt/sweat shirt orders to complete. I am so relieved that they are now done and delivered!

Saturday morning, 2 of my best friends, my little boy, and I did the 5K Race For the Cure here in Birmingham. We have so much fun every year doing this and it is such an incredible experience.

I made these t-shirts for us to wear at the race and we got a lot of compliments!

After the race, we enjoyed a nice non-healthy lunch at Dreamland and an afternoon of watching football outside in the beautiful weather. (I had shirts running on the machine as we watched games, so I am pretty sure I haven't sat down all weekend!)

This morning we took my 2 year old to Old Baker Farms in Harpersville, AL. This is our 3rd year going to the farm to pick out pumpkins, and we had a lot of fun! I made this cute monkey pumpkin t for Leland to wear because he is my Lil Monkey!

Here is one of the orders of sweat shirts/t-shirts that I completed this weekend. The other order was for a High school band...pics to come soon!

After the pumpkin patch earlier today, I have been glued to my machine getting items done for a silent auction I am apart of. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did this weekend. It is always so great to spend time with my girls. We all live so far apart, that we don't get to see each other very often. This weekend has definitely been one of those great weekends that you need a days rest afterwards, but I will be up bright and early working hard in my office again tomorrow!

Fall Outfits!

A Juggling Act!

2011-10-07T17:48:00.000-07:00

My life is a complete juggling act! Sometimes I am much better at juggling than others. On a daily basis, I am a Mom (of a 2 year old), a wife, a business owner, a errand runner, a supply orderer, the one and only sewer of all the outfits and monogramming, the mailer, the snap setter, the pattern cutter, the maid of our house, and countless other jobs.

Typically, things run as smooth as possible, but occasionally a huge wrench is thrown in the mix. I have been having some major thyroid issues over the past few months, but thankfully, I believe the new medicine dosage is helping a lot!

Last week, my sewing machine broke down (in the middle of A LOT of orders). I took it and spent a day and a half on top of $100 to have it fixed. I was able to work all weekend and get orders out Saturday.

I worked the entire weekend and everything was running smooth until Monday at lunch. My machine decided to break down with the same exact issue. Unfortunately, the repair man was very unwilling to help. Here is my advice....DO NOT EVER BUY A SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After another day and a half of searching for a new machine, I brought my new Janome home. It has been absolutely wonderful so far! It is so fast and had a ton of features that make production so much faster.

I have been working like a crazy person all this week. I HATE being behind on orders, but with the machine issues, I have fallen a tad behind. I can assure you that I am working as fast as I can (around the clock).

As I said, my life is a huge juggling act, but I love every minute of it! I am so blessed with this business and over 1000 fans on fb looking at my work daily! What a dream come true! I am definitely not rich from the business, but it allows me to do 2 very important things....1. stay at home with my son and 2. do something I love for a living!

I cutting fabric tonight to be sewn this weekend. I will ask that you please hold off on inquiring on your order for a few days. I am obligated to respond to all e-mails, however, I will not be on the computer much at all this weekend. I am going to get as many orders done as possible this weekend and mail them Monday. I will update a mailing list on Monday so you can be updated on your order.

Thanks so much for your patience! I absolutely have the best customers ever!

REMEMBER TO HIT OLDER POST AT THE BOTTOM AS I HAVE UPDATED A LOT TONIGHT!

It's Fall Y'all!

2011-10-01T03:59:00.000-07:00

It's finally Fall, and I'm loving it!! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. The weather is perfect here in AL, the trees are beautiful, there are so many fun activities, and yummy food!!

Fall for my family means the Race for the Cure 5k, a trip to the pumpkin patch, pumpkin spice coffee, and yummy baked goods. I have also been enjoying working with the windows in my house open.

Fall also means that I am busier than ever with orders. My Fall orders started a lot earlier this year, back in July! This is why it is so important for you to place orders early. I try to accomodate all orders, but it is imperative that I know if you have a picture date or something special set and need an outfit by a certain date.

I have labels on this blog to make it easier to view each type of outfit and work I have done, but it is easy to view my work on fb as well. I have everything organized in folders there.

This neutral onesie and burp cloth were done as a gift for a couple that just found out they are expecting! We used gender neutral colors and the last name!

This bundle can easily be done in blue and brown!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Summer! It is SO hot already, so we try to stay indoors as much as possible, unless there is water involved!

I have been SO busy the past few months with orders. Getting orders done is not as easy as it used to be when my child sat still. Now, at 22 months, he is into EVERYTHING!!! I have to arrange my work schedule around his potty training, play time, breakfast and dinner, etc.! One way or another, I always make it happen!

I am going to get updated on all the outfits that I have done because there are just as many new outfits as there are duplicates that have not been posted! I wanted to share this crab outfit really quick. It is by far one of my favorites and if I had a little girl, she would for sure be wearing it this Summer!!

Boys Summer!

Hi all!

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! I was incredibly swamped with last minute Easter orders last week, but I did manage to get everything done by early Saturday morning. I spent my weekend wedding dress shopping with my best friend, going to our lake house with family and friends, and spending all day yesterday at home with my husband and baby boy.

My house was an absolute disaster after the Easter rush last week. I finally got it all cleaned, swept, mopped, etc. yesterday and my husband did the outside yard work. I also managed to get all of our laundry caught up, my husbands work clothes ironed and hung, and we ended the day with a grilled dinner in our back yard. Absolute perfect, much needed day of rest!

To give you an idea of how busy I was over the past few weeks, I went thorugh 31 yards of broad cloth (lining for outfits) in less than ONE month!! I can't tell you how many snaps I have set, buttons I have went through, yards of stabilizer and spools of thread! I have had my 10 needle machine for about 2 months and I have already put almost 60 hours on it. It is suposed to be serviced at 100 hours, so at this rate, it will be going in very soon LOL!

I am so very blessed with my growing business. Someone recently asked me, "Did you think it would get this big when you started"? Well, no I didn't know what would happen. I hoped it would grow to allow me to stay at home, but no, I didn't expect it to grow this much so quickly!!

I am currently working on about a 2 week turn around. I will be happy to accomodate orders that you need quicker, but please give me as much notice as possible. Also, ALL orders will be pre-paid from now on. Under no circumstances will I buy, order, or cut anything for an order until they are paid in full. Also note that the 2 week turn around time starts when payment is recieved, not when the order is placed. For instance, if you order today, but don't pay until a week from now, don't expect your order to be done that week because it most certainly will not!

I am not trying to be rude in any way, but I have to prioritize orders on a first pay, first complete basis to be fair to all customers. This is also an effort to make you make it a priority to pay for your order in a timley manner. Thanks so much for understanding this issue.

I have TONS of pictures to update, so keep check this week for all the new stuff!

Boys that wear Lil Monkey Designs clothing get all the girls!!

Christian's big Brother plays on the White Sox t-ball team, so I did this shirt so little Christian could show his team spirit!

LONG Nights!

I have been working over time trying to get all my orders complete!

Beach/Pool Totes!

2011-04-06T20:59:00.000-07:00

These totes are perfect for a day at the beach or pool, but would work equally as well as a toy bag or just a tote for any occasion! I can use a girly font on the blue and green bag if you would like it for a girl.

They are $18 including a name or inital and shipping. Order quickly because I only have a certain number of each in stock!!

The brand new criss cross Anslee dress....

2011-04-04T18:52:00.000-07:00

This pattern starts at 3m and goes up! I have named all of my dresses and outfits because there are so many. I am attempting to make the ordering process easier. For example: I would like to order the Anslee dress in this fabric...
