Wearables

You got that right!  Remember the post I wrote the other day titled “Sweatpants Mafia”?  :)  Well, guess what!  I’ve designed a T-Shirt!  Join my crew!  You can pre-order your Sweatpants Mafia shirts HERE.  I will be ordering them at the end of this week!  So get your orders in ASAP.  :)  {the color of the background is the approximate color the shirt will be}  If you’re going to Creative Estates, totally buy one, because we’ll be wearing them together one night for a group picture… which will then follow with a pillow fight!  :)

I’ve also designed 2 other shirts!  ”I Am A Sewing Machine” and “I Am Handmade”.  What better way to express yourself than with a shirt?  I have a “I Am A Sewing Machine” shirt and I adore it.  Great conversation started too.  :)  You can pre-order those HERE and HERE.

I’ve also brought out some new items… see those in my store HERE.

I wanted to clarify one thing… some have asked me about camera strap covers and some other such things… I AM taking custom orders for camera straps.  Current fabrics available are in my shop.  I have others as well … just tell me colors you’re interested in.  I am taking custom orders for the following: Laptop sleeves, camera strap covers, iPad sleeves, Kindle/Fire/Nook Clutches, etc.  Let me know what you’re interested in and we can go from there.  There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for custom orders.  If you can dream it, I’m pretty sure I can make it.  :)

And if you clicked on those links, you’ll notice something else, right?  In an earlier blog post I wrote about changing my shop’s name to Gossamer.  After a couple of weeks using that as my store name, I changed my store back to SheyB.  I couldn’t deal with a different name.  It was driving me insane.  haha.  SheyB is who I am and it just felt weird and wrong to have a different name… almost like I was not being me.  And that’s not how I am, as you all know.  I didn’t want to be someone else – whether it’s just a shop name or not.  It felt wrong.  Now I feel right again having SheyB back.  :D  And I gave my SheyB font a little upgrade.  I love the new font very much.  Classy.  :)  I know my store is a bit eclectic compared to what it used to be, but that’s just because I’m loving making a lot of different things.  It helps keep me from the mundane of just one product over and over again.

Come over and follow me on the SheyB Facebook page… I give lots of sneak peeks of new products/fabrics over there!  I have a couple sneaks over there that I posted last night, infact.  :)  Click HERE to like SheyB.  If you want to follow me on my personal Facebook page, I’d love that too {I always follow back} click HERE.

Incase you didn’t hear, the Creative Estates Retreat officially SOLD OUT at the end of last week!  I’m over the moon about this!!  And I can not wait for the retreat to get here!  My life is so busy right now and just keeps getting busier, but I’m loving every minute of it!

I’m about ready to head to my MMA gym for my Boxing class.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me: shealynn@gmail.com and I will get back to you once I get back from punching and sweating.  :)

Sweatpants Mafia

Don’t forget to enter THIS giveaway!!  Entries are LOW!

You’ve all seen the posts around the blogosphere where people show off their fashionable clothes right?  Everyday they share a photo of what they wore on each particular day.  Right down to their accessories.  I rarely ever read these posts… not because I don’t think their outfits may be cute, but because these posts do nothing for me.  There is no inspiration in an outfit for me.

I promise you that I am the leader of the Sweatpants Mafia.  I mean, I would be if there was such a thing.

My whole life I have never been into trends.  In high school I was a plain t-shirt and jeans girl.  Always with flip flops, of course.  Though the trends changed many times, I didn’t change after high school.  Even now, if I’m going out with friends to a movie, a bar or dinner… I still turn to jeans and t-shirts.  Plain t-shirts mostly.  The difference is that my outlook on jeans is different.  I think they’re the most uncomfortable pieces of clothes ever created.  I feel the same about short dresses.  Short meaning above my knees… I always feel like my butt is going to show when I bend down.  Shorts are the same way.  I see super majorly skinny chicks in short shorts and wonder if they know their butt is almost showing.  Maybe they’re so confident they don’t mind a little butt showing?   I have no idea.  :)

As far as dresses, I only really like long ones.  Down to my ankles.  Maxi dresses I prefer.

You’ll never see me in a tube/strapless top.  God forbid one of my boobs popped out.  I’d likely die of embarrassment.

I don’t show off my stomach, or too much leg.  I do wear short sleeve shirts!  :)

Ladies, and {possibly} gentlemen, I wear sweatpants/yoga pants every single day – unless I’m going out with my husband or friends.

Grocery store, Target, Joann’s, Boxing, Muai Tai, dinner with my family?  Yoga pants.
You see… I’m not into fashionable clothing, because I don’t fell comfortable in them.  I don’t feel like me.  And that’s how I’ve been my entire life.  If I’m uncomfortable wearing something, I won’t buy it or I take it off immediately.  Feeling comfortable is a need for me.  I could care less about being fashionable.

 

This is not to mention my extreme dislike of the current fashion, which is mixing patterns together.  I’ve never understood the flowers with polka dots or plaid and stripes together – then putting on bright socks with sandals.  Seeing this makes my eyes bug out and words to fly out of my mouth like: WHY WHY WHY?!  Lord WHY?!  or THEY AREN’T MATCHING – when then turns into a total need to contact someone telling them they have to match!  Just ask my kids and husband… I am a matching freak.  I may wear sweat and yoga pants all the time but I ALWAYS match.  Always.  My kids aren’t allowed to leave this house unless they match.  That is how OCD about matching I am.

 

I’m not alone right?  Tell me your thoughts!
