The Official Gumball Takes Over the World KIT!!!
January 13th, 2008
Since I haven’t had any birthday parties to put all my energy into, I’ve funneled some of my excess brain snappage into some packaging for a Gumball Takes Over the World Kit. Now everyone can play along! Put away your iron and heat-transfer paper, I’ve done it for you!
I think my next project will be ordering some Gumball t-shirts. I haven’t come up with a Secret Agent Josephine design that I can stick with longer than a month so I think when I make the big jump into screen printing (read: pay someone to screen print for me) it will be with Gumball. The front will be his cute little mug and the back will be his butt and the daring “kiss my asterisk” slogan. I know some of my relatives will raise their eyebrows and shake their head that I’ve slipped over to the dark side but I can’t help it. I think it’s funny and I’m keeping it real.
Which by the way is totally Toby’s fault. He’s the one who told me to put an asterisk on Gumball’s butt. Brilliant, no? This also comes from the guy who photoshopped my butt into an animated giff one day to shut me up when I was complaining that I needed to lose some weight. (Read this post to get the whole story). I’m going to start a category called “Toby humor” just so you can see why I keep him around…
That and the fact that he gave my little girl the prettiest eyes in the whole wide world. She may have gotten my color but the shape and the wide-set-ness is all him. From her nose up she looks like Toby. From the nose down she’s me. Poor kid. She’s got my round face and chin and will probably grow up to have my jowls and a double chin too.
Anyway, this post is not about genetics, it’s about GUMBALL!!! I took the photo above so you can see that Gumball has been kid tested and approved! I don’t know if the heat-transfer paper is safe for teething on but Gumball as a toy, is safe and great for throwing.
As far sewing goes, these may not be seamstress approved. He is a “lumpy pillow” after all. So he’s not perfect. I just thought I’d warn you before you rushed off to my Etsy Shop to buy yourself one. If you want a perfect Gumball you’re probably better off downloading your own pdf and making your own.
ALSO! One more thing: I’ve got some valentines up my sleeve that I’m printing for my Etsy Shop. So if you’re thinking of shopping, you might want to hold off until next week.

Becky wants to know if we can change the color to……..green?
SAJ says: Sure, I don’t care. But you’ll have to call him Bob or something. ‘Cause Gumball is pink.

I so love Gumball. I still have the original one you sent out last year on my sewing table to put together. It’s on my to-do list.. hahaha… And t-shirts would be awesome, your creativity just keeps on going and going and going.

I love the whole package.

Love Gumball! And I totally remember that post where Toby photoshopped your ass, brilliant, I look forward to more of his wacky sense of humour!

Aw Shoot! I missed out on Gumball. I guess I need to get off my tush and make the kids a Gumball. I had thought about making both kids a shirt with Gumball. A pink for Lil’ Bum and a blue for Baby Bum.
Yeah, I need to do that.

I almost bought your last three sets of Valentine’s but thought I should let the kids make their own. Gumball still lives. I should put him in the Suburban so we can pop off shots of him as we go around.
Right now he’s in my Christmas tree.
That I haven’t taken down.
Because I’ve been sick.
I’m cool like that, yo.
