Happy Harriet

A few years ago (2007) I was rocking my youngest son, and this little character came into my head. Her name is Harriet.

Hello!  My name is Harriet
I've lots of things to say!
I have got a different mood
For each and every day!

There are days when I am happy
and days when I am mad
and tho' I may get pouty
I'm never, EVER sad!

I'm naughty and I'm innocent
(it cannot be my fault!)
There are days I'm just plain loopy,
Should be locked up in a vault!

If you are emotional
But don't know what to say,
Get a different T-shirt
For each and every day!

I knew she was just a little scribble of a character, sort of like the "Little Miss" characters, only even more childlike. I started a little cafepress shop back then, but never really promoted it, because I've been a little backward about coming forward when it's something like this. No. Really.
Anyway, yesterday I was working on some designs for my Spoonflower shop (http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/tequila_diamonds - see what I did there?) and came across Harriet in some of my old art files. I knew I had to bring her back when my older son, walked in and said, "Hey! I remember her. That's Harriet!" He was only about 4 when I created her, so that's something. So, here's the link to Harriet's shop where you can meet her in her many moods (there are 7, so you could, indeed, have one for each day of the week). She's pretty darned cute, if I do say so myself. Naughty Harriet is my personal fave, natch.

Also, coming out in July, I will have a collection of Happy Harriet fabrics on Spoonflower. Any profits made from the sale of Harriet fabrics on Spoonflower in the month of July and t-shirts on cafepress in the month of June will go to the National Autism Association, in honor of my wonderful, brilliant son, who is on the spectrum.
