Finally! Tong Po!

   Today we added the newest addition to our action shirt collection.  The legendary, ruthless, Tong Po from Van Damme’s famous film, “Kickboxer”.  I’ve been for the new year to do this design now that we have our flash dryer and we can do white inks.  The design is quite simple:

The script under Tong Po is Thai for “Muay Thai”.
    This might be my favorite shirt so far.  We shall see if it’s a hit.  This has been added to our etsy store and our eBay store.  It will be in our official website in a few days.

A winterless winter.

    This winter has been sort of a bummer for me. I love the snow.  The majority of the people that i know find my viewpoint obnoxious because I work from home and don’t actually have to drive in it, braving the elements like most people.  With all of that being true, I still love the snow.  It’s January 11th and its sunny and gorgeous out, cold, but pleasant.  Last night, for the first time this winter, I was glad it was nice out.  We acquired a new grill from my parents for the holiday, and I was able to fire it up yesterday for the first time.  Besides making pizza’s, grilling is my favorite thing.  I pour myself a Firestone Walker IPA, bundle up, and stand outside like a man grilling meat…and it was fantastic and peaceful.  We just cooked a few boneless chicken breasts, but they turned out great.  As we close in on mid January, I think I’m OK with no more winter, its late enough where if it arrives it will be somewhat annoying.  Who am I kidding, we live in Buffalo.  We will get hit with something nasty before the winter is finished, I’d bet on it.

Bring on the New Year!

    We hope everyone had a great Holiday this year.  We are eager to get started on some new designs for next year including, finally, black shirt designs!
    This Holiday was a busy one.  In case you are not familiar with the two most famous babies on baby products, there is:

The “Gerber” Baby
 And..
The “Super Sweet Shirt Co.” Baby, Jacob Lee Green.
    This year was pretty fun because our Nephew Jake was able to understand the joy of opening presents.  It was really funny to watch because I’m not sure if he actually understood that inside of each present, is a new toy or something for him.  To him, each present was a new and exciting opportunity to tear off wrapping paper.  Who cares whats in it?!

     I went home for Christmas eve and Christmas day to be with my parents and my sister who was home from California.  I was able to see a lot of family that I hadn’t seen in a while which was really nice.  Our Christmas morning has been the same since we were kids, the only difference is that instead of being a little kid wearing goofy pajamas and getting up really early to open gifts, my sister and I are in our early 30’s waking up early in goofy pajamas to open gifts.  It’s pretty awesome.

All of the animals flock to my mother making it impossible to move or open gifts.

Niagara Market

   Saturday evening we went down to the Niagara Market.  This was the first year of the event which lasts 30 days.  It was described as being a “European Market” so we were interested in seeing something like this, especially because it might be something for Super Sweet Shirts to think about doing in the future.  If you have never been to Niagara Falls, the American side is an armpit.  Its terrible.  Its nothing but a gigantic casino, and nothing else.  This market was a good idea to get people to come visit the area in the winter.  It didn’t end up being as big as I thought it was going to be, but for being the first year, it has the potential to be something really cool.  Each vendor has its own little wooden hut that you could go into and shop from.  Bigger vendors had larger huts that were like big heated tents.  We talked the the owner of Sample Restaurant for a few minutes while getting some hot cider and he said that the turnout had been great this season and that he would totally do it again next year.  Something to think about for us next year or the following year.

Our First Tree!

   I’m a week late posting these but the shirt orders have been pretty intense and I haven’t had much time for anything.  I was all excited this year to go buy a saw, venture out into the woods like Clark Griswold, and get myself a tree.  Unfortunately its December and there’s no snow.  This winter sucks.  I was not in the mood to go get a tree in gorgeous sunny weather.  Nicole and I decided to just go down to Home Depot and get a tree.  I will never get a fake tree, it needed to at least be real.  This was my first time picking out a tree by myself.  I had done some reading in my last issue of “This Old House” and it had an article about bringing home your tree hassle free.  I was definitely prepared for this.  People are so picky when they are looking for their tree.  They pull them out one and spin them around to make sure they are all perfect.  I just grabbed one that was all tied up.  I had no ideas what it was going to look like.  It’s a tree.  Charlie Brown didn’t care, why should I.  Here are some pictures below of our first tree.  Now we are going to have to gradually collect ornaments that have meaning.

I’m back!

    Things have been crazy heading into the Thanksgiving weekend.  With orders coming in and family visiting, it was impossible to stay current on here.  The holiday has come and gone, so I now have a little time to ramble.  I have some pics from the family gathering we had here the day before Thanksgiving.  It was our first little party we’ve had since owning the house and it turned out great.

Our dog Ric (left) loves hanging out with my parents dog.
I made two pizzas for the gathering, a Buffalo Chicken pizza and a Mediterranean Pizza.

This is the Mediterranean pizza.  I had to remove the tomatoes to get it onto the stone because it was too heavy and I was short on corn meal.

Once I had it on the stone, I was able to complete the toppings.

The Buffalo Chicken pizza was my favorite.  Fresh crumbly blue, cooked chicken, and fresh mixed wing sauce, this is always a favorite.

Ric and I both decided to wear Holiday sweaters, only he wasn’t excited…

I posted this even though its blurry just so you can see my new Holiday sweater.

Now onto Thanksgiving!

    We have busted our asses since buying the house with a set of goals that we wanted completed by winter.  We would like to thank my Mom, my Stepfather Henry, and my Dad Bob for helping us accomplish everything, it would have been a lot harder to do without their help.  New kitchen windows, glass block windows in the basement, roof replacement on the room off the kitchen, and redoing the dining room including a complete tear out off the bay window with new drywall.  We are exhausted, but one half of the first floor is totally complete.  Here are some pictures of the dining room:

Here is a really old picture from when we tore out the kitchen.  You can see what the dining room used to look like.

Here is the finished product.

Nicole found an old chandelier at the thrift store that she fixed up with some paint and some TLC.

   Now its time to take a break, at least until the new year!

Busy Busy!

    Christmas orders are starting to come in. Don’t forget to get your orders in as soon as possible to ensure that it arrives on time!  This is my favorite time of year, not just because we get busy, but because I love the holidays,  cookies, snow, tacky lights, gifts, and booze.  I also love special Holiday clothes….like this:

I bought this.  It hasn’t arrived yet….but I keep checking!
  I’m pretty much going to look amazing wearing this.  I will be sure to post a picture as soon as I get it!
