I'm irritated at Spreadshirt.com right now. I spent time designing new children's tees for myself and for my online mom friends (many of whom are having their second child and wanted brother / sister shirts). I'd already been annoyed to find they didn't offer any infant products, but figured that I could still do well selling XS tees for the 2 to 4-year-old set. But suddenly they've dropped that size from their inventory! I emailed them about it and was told that -- ppbbfftt! -- just like that, no more toddler shirts, no intention of getting more.
I suppose they weren't doing very well, and the few orders I'd been counting on from friends isn't likely to make it worth their while to continue stocking an item that just doesn't move. I can understand the business side of it, but I'm still disappointed. And irritated.
Sigh.
In other news, though, I've also added some designs to the grown-up side of the store! Feel free to peruse (and then purchase) these lovelies from leonine.spreadshirt.com:
I'm happy to unveil the PrimaDonna line, inspired by the request of one of my favorite divas! Shown here is the pink tee (because hey, who can resist pink?), but click on the image to see the design on other products and in other colors.
Will Work for Shoes. A particular sister of mine came to mind on this one, though I suspect there are plenty more like her. (Actually, if it weren't a women's tee and a high heeled shoe, my DH would qualify to wear this shirt! He has many, many more pairs of shoes than I have. Silly boy.)
Unless anyone specifically requests one, this is probably the closest you'll see me get to a holiday-themed shirt. Could be a Christmas star, could simply be the gold star you got for being the coolest one in school. *Shrug.* Up to you. :-)
Apparently I missed Banned Books Week, but I'd say that's a cause to honor year-round! The tee is completely plain on the front, but the back (shown above) says, "Celebrate Freedom / Read a Banned Book" -- with a selection of frequently banned titles sandwiched in the middle -- and is available in both short and long-sleeved versions.
All right, that's probably enough pimping for now (seeing as it's 2:30 in the morning as I type this). Remember, the holidays are coming up! Irritated I may be with the kids' tees, but I've been nothing but pleased with the quality of Spreadshirt's products and I do hope you'll be happy, as well. Keep Leonine Designs in mind -- leonine.spreadshirt.com.
Thanks for putting up with this in lieu of a more personal blog! We took the girls to a college basketball game tonight; I meant to blog about that, as well, but as I said it's insanely late at night so I'll have to owe you one. Remind me if I don't get back to it. :-)

Oh! I also meant to say: If you see a design you like, but you're not fond of the color scheme, let me know what you'd like better and I'll be happy to whip up something for you. It gets redundant to offer every design in every color (apparently the programmers are working on a better interface for that problem, but haven't gone public with it yet) so I've mostly just done ones that I would wear, lol. But hey, what looks good on me might not look good on you, so leave me a comment and we'll work it out. :-)
