Today I am announcing that I am going back into selling Blythe tees !

In early 2009 I started a line of tees in my shop then known as “Commonly Cute”. I had several designs, some were really popular. But I honestly messed up more tees than I sold. haha !

*Some of the original designs.

I also sold other Blythe related products like eye-chips, pull-rings and other Blythe related things. Due to the economy and my family coming on some hard times, I had to close the shop.

Since that time I have always wished that there was some way I could get back into it and with a new and improved method of creating the tees and the designs on them. For over a year, I’ve scribbled in a journal my mom bought me to keep “creative ideas” in and finally, it is all coming together.

With the help of my sister one night, the name of the shop came about ~ Little Sheep Eep. “Eep” is my childhood nickname from my sissy and she still calls me it to this day. The sheep has many different symbols for me – from religion background to just loving on lambs and sheep. My favorite designer, Katie over @ smile-recipe is helping us with the graphics for the shop.

Finding “Eep” ~ our dolly spokesperson to promote the shop came a little easier than I expected.. although she was an unlikely candidate. For months I’ve been hating on the FBL Blythe mold saying that I found it totally ugly and being a total meanie saying that I wasn’t going to buy anymore Blythe girls that went beyond the RBL mold.

I had gotten an EBL Skate Date to be “Eep” and when I opened her up, she just wasn’t “Eep”. I just wasn’t feeling it ~ Which is surprising because SD is a beauty !

Anyhow, after that I realized I should research some dolls more on Flickr and try to find a girl that I think will look good in any tee while rocking a sheep hat. I stumbled across Luna & Happibug Paris girls and I fell in love.

As total luck would have it, A dolly friend (Carmen) offered a trade for her Paris for my SD and the rest is history. Little “Eep” has been with me a few weeks, already attending a Blythe meet in Alabama.

*That’s my little Eep on the top left

She is a magical dolly and the perfect dolly spokesperson for the shop. She is currently visiting with the talented Squirrel Junkie to be customized to be a true ~ Little Sheep Eep !

Anyhow, to get back to the topic at hand.. I am so excited to announce that I will once again be creating Blythe tees. And in unique and new ways.

~ a little sneak peek ~

I will not only be doing silk-screen and iron-on designs, but now I’ll be doing rhinestone tees and tees with a combination of the 2 for some really unique looks. I also plan on offering custom tees with your girls name across it with a small icon. There’s lots of things in store ! I truly hope this is the beginning of something fun and new !

I plan to have a cool Blytheblog contest to win a special tee ! So stay tuned for that
