Spring Clothing Preorder

We are currently taking preorders for spring clothing. Since we only keep white items in stock, every season we offer a chance to order colors, as well as some items we don't normally carry. Here are just a few of the items we're offering, but you can see the whole collection on our facebook page. Each of the items comes in multiple sizes & colors, and the price includes monogramming or applique. Shipping is free! Don't wait too long, though, because we're not taking orders after March 4th. Just email us at themonogrammedmonkey@gmail.com if you have any questions or need more info!

Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow is my birthday, and as I get older, I get more relaxed about these things. I usually hate birthdays, but since I hit my 30s, they've been much better! This year, I'm hoping for good news about my computer that crashed on Tuesday. Sadly, it's the one with all my sewing files and software on it! Of course, it had to happen this week, since I only got all my machine stuff back last Thursday. I'm sort of going into monogram withdrawals not being able to do anything! Ha!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and if you run across some cupcakes, have one for me! :)

Kitchen Towels

I don't know about you, but I love cute kitchen towels! There's just something about them, and honestly, it makes keeping a tidy kitchen a little more fun. I try to have some set out for every holiday, but of course, my hubby uses them, so they don't stay as cute as I'd like!

Kitchen towels make great wedding gifts as well as housewarming gifts. Package them with a spatula or whisk, or tuck them into a mixing bowl for a cute, customized goodie! At just $10 each, you can make them as cutesy or formal as you'd like.....either way, they'll be sure to get a prominent place in the kitchen!

St. Patrick's Day

It seems all we're doing lately is talking about upcoming holidays, but they come and go so quickly! Even though Valentine's Day just passed and Mardi Gras is next week, it's time to be thinking about St. Patrick's Day. It's so hard to believe it's only 1 month away! We have several cute St. Paddy's designs that will surely bring you the luck of the Irish! Here are a few of our favorites, including the appliqued alphabet, but you can see more on our Facebook page. Email us with any orders or questions, and we'll get busy creating your special item. We want your friends to be "green" with envy, don't we? :)

Old verus New

You may not have noticed, but we have a new logo! We liked our old one, but a new year called for a new look. So we decided to take the plunge and go for it. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! It's also just one of the first new things we have planned for the new year, so keep checking back....there's no telling what we'll surprise you with next!

Brother Outfits

Ok, so the first thing that I thought when I found out I was having another boy was "Yea! Matching outfits!". I guess that shows I'm a little too obsessed with custom clothing, huh? Anyway, since H2 is sooo tiny, I've been using The Monogrammed Monkey rompers to make him coordinating outfits to go along with H1. Here is one of my favorites. It's a fill stitched truck in an oval gingham patch. Very simple, but super-cute....well, at least I think so!

Mardi Gras Madness

In our part of the world, Mardi Gras is a big deal. It was actually started in Mobile, Alabama, so since we live so close to there, we get to enjoy the festivities. Schools and businesses close for the day and we watch parades, catch throws, and eat way too many Moon Pies. Mardi Gras this year is February 21st, so if you act fast we can still make a special item for you. Here are a few of our Mardi Gras designs, but check out our Facebook page for more inspiration.

Valentine's Day Designs

With Valentine's Day just over 1 week away, I thought I'd share a few of our Valentine's Day designs with you. These are just a few....you can check out the whole collection on Facebook. Need a last-minute item? Send us an email & we may be able to rush it out to you!

Football Time!

In honor of the Super Bowl this weekend, I thought I'd show you my latest football creation. My husband, who is a HUGE college football fan, took our oldest son to his first football game this past weekend. It's an exhibition game called the Senior Bowl, where all the best talent from top-tier colleges come play in front of NFL scouts. We didn't know if they were going to be able to go until the last minute, so I was literally sewing H1's shirt 10 minutes before they left! I thought it turned out cute, though!

the finished shirt....I just grabbed a blank tee I had laying around
