And... happy feelings gone.

Fresh out of the washing machine- my hopelessly snarled long eighths of fabric. It took me about a half an hour to disentangle it.

Anna had a good time. She likes to play with the clumps of thread I cut away from the knots.

Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping my fabric from knotting in the washing machine?

Ah.... new fabric.

Oh, the possibilites.

Welcome to the Girls Like Trucks blog!

Hello from Michigan! My name is Jen. I am a stay-at-home mom to Anna, an adventurous little girl who likes dresses and dinosaurs. When I am shopping for Anna, I often find myself in the boy's department because that's where I find the things that interest her- fire truck pajamas, helicopter shirts, etc. A few months ago I had a thought, "Wouldn't it be great if they actually made things like this for girls?" and Girls Like Trucks was born. Currently I am focusing on ponytail holders in boy themes- cars, bicycles, dinosaurs, etc. I hope to expand to clothing items as my little business starts to grow. You can find my shop at girlsliketrucks.etsy.com.
