What kind of vacuum do you have?

That is the question my son would ask you, a total stranger, upon first meeting you.

My son... is... OBSESSED with... VACUUMS. He has been this way for MONTHS. He's just 3, but can tell you in a nano-second what brand a vacuum is upon seeing it for the first time. He's excited to get the ad papers on Sundays so he can look for the vacuum sales and name them off... Dirt Devil, Bissel, Hoover, Dyson... he knows 'em all. His favorite toys? His toy vacuums of course! He can tell you what type of vacuum cleaner every member of our family and extended family have. It's crazy!

So, ladies and gentlemen... I give you the vacuum shirt I made for my son... seeing as how this is the blog for my shop - I should at least mention sewing somewhere in this post! :)

People... I'm living, breathing, eating and sleeping vacuums in this house. I can't even begin to imagine what my daughter will become obsessed with when she is 3... toasters?

Please leave a comment and let me know what kind of vacuum do you have?? My son will want to know. :)

FYI - we have a dirt devil hand vac, a broken Eureka Altima (a piece of crud... never ever buy a Eureka), a Swivel Sweeper (awesome awesome awesome) and a small GE vaccum with detachable hand vac. On it's way to our home... a brand new Oreck XL... we shall see how this one turns out... hopefully better than the 3 months the Eureka lasted.
