Incredible Hulk Inspired Clothing and Free Hulk Graphic

October 1, 2014 By beatnikkids Leave a Comment

Over the summer I competed in Crafting Con, a geek inspired sewing competition.  The goal of July's competition was to create an every day, wearable, kid's outfit that was inspired by the Avengers. For my Avengers inspired look, I (meaning the youngest superhero loving boy whom I sew for) chose THE HULK. The Hulk tends to be the low man on … [Read more...]

What little boy does not like superheros?  Regardless of whether you buy into the Licensed characters or go for the generic man in a cape figure, the 3 boys in this house are all over it.  My middle guy had a thing for Batman but the reigning superhero fanatic in the house these days is my youngest.  His current favorite?

A Birthday

  My middle guy turned 3 this week.  We haven't made a set of 3 year old friends yet.  Frankly, until he starts preschool, we're most likely not to meet anyone between the ages of 1 and 5 because everyone here sends their kids to daycare after the first year of their lives.  It's putting a damper on our friend making abilities. … [Read more...]
