I could not think of what to give my girlfriend who is expecting. She likes to be original. So original is what I gave her. A hand drawn monkey onsie & bib. I am not an artist in any way shape or form. I would love to take art classes and really learn how to draw. Well this little set was my first attempt with fabric crayons & an outliner pen from Pentel. They worked great. Very smooth and easy. All you do is heat set. I heat set the bib a little to much. It stuck to itself in the back. I will get her another one to go with it. But I cannot break up the set. 🙂
I had a confernece call with the Principal, teacher and school nurse about Maxx. We are all on the same page now. SO, hopefully we can get things under control.

Bio-
Growing up in a small mid-western town, Niki Meiners was surrounded by a modest, resourceful and very entrepreneurial family. Her simple upbringing spurred her "Can do" attitude and gave her the confidence to try any challenge placed before her. She knew there was more out there than just her small town and set off after high school to explore the world. It was through these travels that she discovered her love of art and her desire to make the world a prettier place. It was not until she suffered a paralyzing illness that she realized she wanted to reconsider her corporate career as a Chief Paper Pusher, and her thoughts immediately turned to her first passion, art. In 2003 she began an odyssey that would take her from product design to publication and everywhere in between. She is known for her distinctive, high quality creations that feature a diverse mix of styles and highly creative approach to even the smallest detail. Niki is an Idea Architect, easily outlining every project from concept to completion. Her creations are simultaneously beautiful and functional and her in depth knowledge of the industry allows her to produce projects with a specific understanding of both the consumers and the manufacturers. This knowledge has allowed her work to be featured in the industries leading craft and lifestyle publications and manufacturers’ websites.

Such a cute baby gift. There is nothing like an original work of art – I think you did a great job for a first attempt at this.
So glad to hear that you had the conference call re: Maxx. It’s good to present a united front. Hope he begins to enjoy school.
