Homecoming Mums

Just thought I would share a few places to get your Homecoming Mums this year, since I do not make them.... although, maybe I should?? Maybe when the girls get into High School. Hmmmmm, but the overalls take up most of my time (my poor laundry and dirty kitchen, LOL)

Let's Do This!!!

I am READY to make some overalls... Just look at all this YUMMY fabric!! Oh Yea!! Can't wait to show them off when they are done!!!

I won't lie. I am addicted to playing Island Paradise, a Facebook game. I have been playing this game for a little over a year and have almost reached level 100.I really enjoy the creativeness the island gives me. I have really enjoyed the friends I have made who play the game as well. But here is my real confession.... I am giving up most aspects of the game for a while. It is time consuming, so I will be planting long term crops, so I only have to stop in every few days. I am slowly weaning myself away... Bye-bye little island in Paradise!! I promise to stop in on occasion to pat my cows on the head, park myself at the tiki bar for a Lingonberry Cosmo, order up some Bean Salsa Burritos and then kick back on my lawn chair on Shark Bite Beach.It is true, that when you close one door (or leave it cracked open a bit...) another will open, and that opening will be the sewing door. I NEED to get back into my swing instead of being parked here on my pc.

















Have a happy day in YOUR paradise!!

Homecoming Overalls 2011

This post is for 2011.... Please go HERE for the 2012 season.


I noticed quite a few stops here to view my past postings of Homecoming overalls for the Katy area schools. Sorry about the pictures not being available... I had to pull them to protect my product.

If you are interested in purchasing some for the 2011 Homecoming season, leave me a message at the bottom of this post.

Here is how it works: You supply the overalls (to ensure fit, as teens can be picky)

We will meet and go over the details

Cost is $165 for the bib, and 2 other places (usually the right leg and buttocks area)

Deposit of 50% when the overalls change hands.

It takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete the overalls this time of year, what with my job and my own family. I want to ensure I have enough time to make sure your overalls are absolutely perfect!!!!
UPDATE: I just updated my website to make it easier for you to secure your slot for the 2011 Homecoming season. Listed is a $25 non-refundable DEPOSIT that will be applied to the final purchase price of your artwork. That way you can secure your slot and then we can meet at your convenience!!

UPDATE #2 (9-14-11): I found MEN's Dickies overalls in stock at Bass Pro [Katy Mills]  for $54 (I think) The smallest size they have right now is a 34 which would fit a girl approx 130-160 lbs.

WHERE TO BUY OVERALLS JcPenney

All of my work is sewn. All appliques are hand drawn and cut from fabric then ironed on to the denim. I sew around each piece as well as the details (like the basketball and musical instruments) Every pair of overalls is different. I use different lettering, fabrics and style to fit the personality of the girl. I like to meet the girl, so we both feel comfortable with the choices. I look forward to meeting with you!! ~Trevor

My Custom Tom's Shoes

Hi!!! My painted (with Sharpie) Tom's have a little story.

My 9 year old daughter really wanted some Tom's for her 10th birthday, so my 18 yr old son got her a pair from his workplace, Sun & Ski Sports. He guesstimated the size and bought my size instead. LOL So instead of taking them back for a trade, I talked him into letting me keep them and he bought her another pair.

On Lindsey's birthday, we went shopping in the mall he works at and at lunchtime, we stopped in to see him. From out behind the counter he pulls out the COOLEST pair of Tom's (or any shoe, for that matter) One with a sun, the other painted with the moon. I had no idea....!!!

Turns out, the very day of her birthday, S & S had some starving artists there to paint Tom's (for a cost). Of course, since I am an artist, I had to go and investigate.... What mediums are they using? What designs are there? What is the inspiration? etc. I watched and learned and then asked the artist of Lindsey's shoes to sign his work on her shoes. He was pleased, as he had NEVER been asked before!!

When we got home, I immediatly had to Google "Hand Painted Tom's" and only found a handful of images.

That very night I started planning MY pair of custom Tom's.

I searched the house for every Sharpie marker I could find... my art stash, the kids rooms, my kitchen drawers. Then went to the craft store and bought a few more.

My pair Tom's took about 20 hours total to draw. I hope you like them. They are very "Me". Pictures, words, doodles.

I hope to create many, many more custom Tom's for as many people who will have me design them.
