The trouble with a life full of little girls, is that they are forever having birthdays.
And I am forever having to come up with a Clever Idea to counter it. Especially given that most of said little girls are Brand Nazis and have serious Designer Tastes.
I can't keep up with it, financially or morally. I have deep-seated political and philosophical issues with 11 year olds chasing brand chic, which I won't bore you with.
So I tend to make presents, to keep everyone happy. It's designer isn't it? Well, after a fashion. And amazingly, a one-off Poppalina somehow keeps them quiet.
We do a lot of Tshirts, mostly with their favourite buzz words of the day.
I am still trying to find a way to print effectively onto shirts without resorting to screenprinting (impractical), transfer (unreliable), or digital printing (unwashable). Any advice would be most welcome.
So I usually machine-embroider them.
This went to Anna. I wasn't very happy with it, too froufrou for me, but it gives you an idea.
Buzz word for this week is, you guessed it, 'puff', another word for 'cool' (or 'homosexual', if you're English, but I haven't told the girls that). I think they got it from the Dominos ad, which is currently promoting a line in puff pastry pizza (ick).

I promise something a little funkier next time. But they are tweenies, after all.
