Reward

I love what I'm doing. I get to be home with my kids... I get to be creative everyday... I get to be my own boss. But it's not always rewarding. Some days it's very hard for me to motivate myself to keep making, photographing, posting, promoting, etc. But every once in a while, I get a great positive feedback from someone... or a picture of their child in something I've made... and it makes it worth everything.

Today, I received my best reward yet. Last week, I sent two capes off to Louisiana. Tonight, I received the nicest email and photos. I just had to share a bit of it...

"Awesome, Awesome capes!! I surprised my two little ones with your capes. Who doesn't love to receive a package in the mail? My four year old put it on in the driveway and immediately began jetting around and around the sidewalk and our circular drive. Who knew he could fly so fast?! When it was time to leave for our friends 3rd bday party at the local gymnastics gym, Hank said he HAD to bring his "Super 4" cape. Great idea! They were the hit of the party! Wish I had ordered one for the bday girl." - Gabrielle

"...This photo tells such a story of a boy's childhood...how they embrace certain objects. His imagination and super strength have seemed to soar with a simple recycled t-shirt." - Gabrielle

I'm very excited about all the creations I've made with the tshirts. I can't seem to stop making them so I can focus on my upcoming show in Maple Valley. I have to prepare for a three day show... so I should be a little stressed. Instead, I just keep making capes and dresses. These pictures demonstrate why I do what I do. I get to see my kids enjoy my things... but it's very rewarding to see other kids enjoy them as well. Thanks Gabrielle!
