Introducing Evan the Monster Truck...


I love that my boy clothing gallery is growing...and I LOVE this shirt!

Shannon contacted me and requested a Monster Truck for her son, Evan. She said he loves monster trucks and motorcycles. I have the motorcycle shirt in the works, but I couldn't wait to post this shirt!

I love the Amy Butler Dot Fabric for the truck and all the detail just makes it look real!
I think the mud that the truck is splashing around in is my favorite part!






Shannon, thank you so much for your orders! I hope you love shirt #1!


Would love to hear what you think about this new design!

Alex the Monkey for Emory...



Amy in South Carolina contacted me to order a sweet little monkey for her little monkey, Emory. I love that name. She asked me if we could create Alex the Monkey, but girlie.
Girlie to me...means...a sweet little bow! I love how this shirt turned out and I hope that Ms. Emory loves it as well.

Thank you for your order Amy! I can't wait to see Ms. Emory in her new Maggie Moo shirt!

A Flower and Frog for Ms. Savannah...


This order is for a little sweetie that will be here later this year. Her mom, Lana, contacted me after seeing an order I did for a teacher friend of mine with Tessa the Frog. She wanted a Flower and a Froggie shirt for Sweet Savannah's arrival. I love the way they turned out and can't wait to see pictures of her in them. Lana lives in Florida...can you believe that Maggie Moo Originals are making there way there! I am so excited!

Thanks Lana for your orders and I hope you love them. Good luck through the rest of your pregnancy!

The Alligator Is My Friend...

This post is a very special one to me and takes me back to some wonderful memories. I worked at a camp here locally called Camp Widijiwagan where I taught tennis and was a camp counselor for one summer during college. I loved it! It was actually the first time Josh, my husband, and I worked together. Every morning, we would sign songs and get ready for the day. One of the songs was called "The Alligator Is My Friend." As the summer went on, the camp leader would dedicate the song to me because my camp nickname was Alie. Get it...Alliegator...I loved it.

The song goes...
The alligator is my friend...
And she can be your friend too...
I would rather have her has my friend...
Then wear her on my shoe...
(then you would make your hands like an alligator mouth and go...)

Alll--iiii-ggg-aaaa-ttttt--ooo0-rrr

The camp leader was named Merle. I loved him. He made "work" fun for everyone! So this shirt is named after my friend Merle.

This sweet shirt is for Alex, owner of Alex the Monkey. His mom, Angie, contacted me and said that he would love an alligator shirt...Could I do one? Of course! He is going to look so adorable in this. I started with yummy blue shirt and added some adorable Amy Butler dot fabric for the alligator and coordinating orange dots for the bird on the back.

Angie, I hope you and Alex love his new shirt! Thanks for your order! I hope to make more for Mr. Alex soon!

Introducing Harrison the Hippo...


I LOVE this design. It might be one of my personal favorites.

This set is for a great girl, Sarah A.
She is expecting her third little sweetie this summer...her first boy. She is so excited about having a boy. She works a ton with my sister, Brea, at her consignment sale. At Brea's latest sale, Sarah mentioned that she was naming her little boy Harrison...obviously, I love that name. She said...How cute would it be for you to make me a Harrison the Hippo...I LOVED it!

I love the way that this whole set turned out. She wanted the Harrison the Hippo shirt and a burp cloth set. One burp cloth with a hippo and a small "h" and the other with his initials..."hda."

I used a ton of Amy Butler dot fabric and some yummy felt. I think it all turned out really sweet...

Sarah, thanks for your business...I hope you LOVE your items.
I can't wait till Mr. Harrison is here to see him in his hippo shirt!

Luke the Owl for Mr. Parker...

This super duper cute shirt is going to Mr. PaRkEr...You may remember Parker from Parker the VW with Surfboard on top. Parker's mom, Erica, contacted me and requested an owl shirt for Parker. She said that he is in love with owls here lately and she knew he would love an owl original shirt.

You might remember Luke the Owl from this post. I originally made an owl for one of my awesome nephews, Luke. He loved it and so did I.

I think this shirt is so stinkin' cute and it is going to look so adorable on Parker.

Thanks again for your order, Erica. I can't wait to see pictures of Parker sporting his new shirt!

Harper the Owl is HUGE...

It has been a busy week in my sewing world...Can you tell?

This shirt is going to a daughter of one of my teachers. Her daughter is in a sorority...their symbol is an owl. She got to see the original Harper the Owl Onesie and loved it. She said she had to have one for her daughter, Leigh.

I love the way this shirt came out. It is the first time I have ever made something for an adult...I am pleased with it's personality. It is full of awesome Amy Butler fabric and tons of felt.


I hope that Pam and Leigh both love it! I also hope that Leigh will be proud to wear it!



Introducing Maria the Yummy Ice Cream Cone...

This adorable shirt is going to a little sweetie named Maria. She is the granddaughter to one of my most favorite people ever!! Mrs. Burt was my Principal at one of my school the first 4 years of teaching career. She retired 2 years ago and I have missed her so much since then. I could go on for hours on how Mrs. Burt loved me, encouraged me, and led me to be the teacher I am today. I just love her.

She contacted me to request a sweet shirt for her little sweetie, Maria. She said that her granddaughter loves ice cream cones and PINK...no need to say anything else! I am all over that!

I love the way that this ice cream cone came out. I used some yummy pink and green fabrics and lots of layers. It looks so springy and happy...I love it! It reminds me of this awesome ice cream place in Indiana that Josh's family always takes me to in the summer...

Mrs. Burt, I hope you love the shirt. I hope that little Maria loves it as well. I just love you and adore you for the awesome woman you are. Thank you for supporting me and my craft!
