You name it contest!
Madonna Baby
Apparently someone “owns” the saying “Like A Virgo”, so my baby Madonna image and products are being pulled from Zazzle. Ah, unintentional copyright infringement. Is there anything clever in the world that isn’t already “owned” by someone else?
In the spirit of making lemons into lemonade, I’d like to propose a contest. Can you rename this baby and/or give it a witty saying? Best entry will receive this image, including their verbiage, either on a magnet or a child’s onesie or t-shirt (winner gets to choose).
I’ll pick the winner in one week. Multiple entries are A-O-K by me.

Cutie Pie Disaster
Cutie Pie
I hate to admit it, but this one was a struggle and ultimately (I think) a failure. (Reminds me of my cooking.) I just knew something wasn’t working, so I showed it to my hubby. His response was that the baby looks like part of the pie, ready to be eaten. Hmmm… I assume that babies are delicious, but this is really not what I was going for!
This reminds me: When I was pregnant with Finley, my belly got so big some people would ask me if I had two babies in there. (Let me just say, this is NOT a nice or appropriate question to ask an expectant woman.) I finally started replying, “Yes. The baby I’m pregnant with and the one I ate for breakfast.”
So, back to the pie baby disaster… My hubster suggested that I add feet to see if that would make it look more like a baby in a bed. Nice idea, but it just made the illustration worse. It was a sinking ship by this point, so for the hell of it I threw in an extra foot…
Bon Appetit!!

The Inspiration…
My Little Pumpkin
This photo was taken by my sister-in-law, Paige, a couple months after my son Finley was born. The pumpkin had been outside all night. Can you tell how cold it is? Poor baby.
I wasn’t thinking about this when I created the Little Punkin’ drawing, but it was probably in my subconscious directing me. May be I should make one of the babies with frigid blue skin. (eek!)
