New Music Stuff

Check out, especially, the Music Merchandise section of Music Stuff & More - new shirts for kids, Women's Plus Size, and more new (and old)items added.

Also, my basic black-and-white piano keyboard graphic is now available in an improved size and on a transparent background (which means it can now be on dark shirts - not only black, but many colors, even red).

Love Notes & Update, Also Free Shipping

My apologies for not being back sooner!

My Music Stuff & More store is still having its free shipping promotion for Valentine's Day:

Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $50 (before tax and shipping)
Coupon Code: VDAYSHIP

Featured in Music Stuff & More are some musical items for Valentine's Day - or whenever you like - "Love Notes" and "Fermata [Hold] Me" (BTW, the "Fermata [Hold] Me" has long been a popular item in my store.)

Also, please note that I've added much new merchandise to my popular "Circle of Fifths" section. More women's-sized items and more long-sleeves. Also, and best of all, IMHO, is the addition of more black merchandise as well as a variety of other new colors.

And, according to CafePress, some neat new merchandise is going to be added soon, starting later this month, which will include Women's V-Neck shirts, plus a bunch of neat new colors - teal, etc. Stay tuned.

Busy as bees? Sure you are, so am I! Hope you're enjoying the Season.

When I have a few moments to spare, I've been enjoying my new, first iPod, poking around in the iTunes store. (Gotta rip some of my CDs, too... Beatles, Prince, Christmas music, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Beach Boys... Etc., etc.) Bought Weird Al's "White & Nerdy" music video (guess I'm just too white and nerdy not to?), U2's "Vertigo" music video, and, showing just how white and nerdy I am in a Christmas way - the music video of that musical Christmas house, you know what I mean, if you're nerdy enough, that is.

Now, back to business - the CafePress Christmas shipping update and info...

Beginning December 8 the following shipping options will be offered:

• Free Shipping on orders over $50 = Will not make it in time for Christmas
• Standard Shipping = Order by December 11 to receive in time for Christmas
• 2-Day Shipping = Order by December 18 to receive in time for Christmas
• Next Day Shipping = Order by December 20 to receive in time for Christmas

Canada/International = Order by December 8, 11:59pm PST to receive in time for Christmas

Note that I've been putting up a lot of new music merch this past month - not new graphics right now, but putting already-present music graphics on new merchandise, such as women's size shirts, long-sleeve dark shirts, etc. I'll be continuing to do this week after week until I get it done. Want to convert some more music graphics for the new dark shirts, too.

Keep watching - much more's coming. Also, another way to keep up with my Music Stuff is to subscribe to my monthly CafePress newsletter - the sign-up is on my Music Stuff & More's Storefront

New Music Shirts!

More Long Sleeve T-Shirts. More Women's T-Shirts (also Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirts). More Dark T-Shirts. Still more color choices.

And, new color choices have been added to the Men's Dark T-Shirts (Navy, Khaki Green), Ash Grey has been added as an additional color choice to the Men's White Long Sleeve T-Shirts. The new Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirts come in either Black or Navy.

White Long Sleeve T-Shirts and Black T-Shirts now come in Women's sizes, with Women's Dark Long Sleeve T-Shirts coming in Black or Brown.

It's a lot to digest, even for me!

The new CafePress merchandise was added just last night. I've some examples of the new additions in the section linked to above, find more in the "NEW NEW NEW section" in "Sales & Features" on the Music Stuff & More storefront.

BTW, IMHO, the "gold" treble clef (and, surely, all the "gold" graphics...) look great on all the new colors. : D Check it out.

Watch for more and more of the music graphics to be added to the new merchandise. (I want to convert more music graphics for black/dark use as well.)

News about the new.

I have created a ridiculous amount of notes graphics on much merchandise and in several assorted colors. The link above is for "notes" merch to wear. The link for "notes" ware (stuff you don't/can't/wouldn't-want-to wear, obviously, unless you like to wear mugs as hats, etc.) would be and, in fact is, Notes Ware

The half note and the quarter note are featured on this graphic, paired, in "ruby" (red), "sapphire" (blue), "gold", "opal", and in the traditional basic black we all know and love.

Bass Clef Graphics : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

I've been working long and hard on some new music stuff. "Gold" bass cleves - on black (or red), and on much of the rest of CafePress's merchandise. Some new novelty bass cleves - "glass", RGB Noise (labeled "Noiz"), a "silver" bass clef with a shadow shown... These are also on black (or red), plus on most other CafePress merch. Click the live links above to check them out.

I've also finally gotten around to a "gold" treble clef on black (or red). (The "gold" treble clef has been available on my merch for years.)

The new "gold" treble clef on black (or red, if you prefer - for the T-shirt)

And, find the new "gold" treble clef and bass clef on stickers with black backgrounds as well.

More coming. I'm not done yet.

NEW NEW NEW : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

From the Music Stuff & More's "Sales & Features"'s "NEW NEW NEW" section - new colors are now being offered on infant and toddler T-shirts and infant creepers, as well as the choice of white or gray for the adult sweatshirts - both the plain and the hooded. The new color choices for the infant and toddler wear is pink or blue. Of course white will continue to be offered.

Samples, as usual, are shown in this "NEW NEW NEW"section.

Coming soon - perhaps as soon as next week? - will be the choice of dark red (called "cardinal") in addition to black for the black T-shirts, which will now be labeled "dark T-shirts."

All of these color choices have been already been added to my stores, with the exception of the dark red ("cardinal"), which we're still waiting on as mentioned above.

I like these new additional colors, and that you, the customer, can choose the color you prefer.

Many of my graphics look better on pink or blue or white. And, I'm looking forward to seeing how my black T-shirts turn out on dark red. For example, the "gold", "brass", and "silver" "metallic" graphics ought to look real nice on dark red.

So, check out the new colors. I think you'll like them.

Music Stuff & More store & its Music Merchandise section.

Technicalities... A cadence is a cadence is a cadence...?

Find my new "Authentic Cadence"s in their own section in "Other Music Symbols" in the "Music Merchandise" area of my Music Stuff & More store.

These "I V I" cadences come in gray, white or black, and can also be found on black T-shirts.

Yes, these cadences started out as "Perfect Cadence"s, but then I decided that "Authentic Cadence"s were more accurate. "I V I" is sometimes - often! - perfect, but sometimes not, so...

(Maybe my dear late friend with the Master's in Music Theory was rolling over in his grave...? Okay, Jim - happy now? ; )

Besides this correction gives me a chance to pinpoint the exact location of these new graphics... (If it were less late and I were less lazy I'd be showing you a photo of them right here and now. Please click on the links above?)

New Music Graphics in Music Stuff & More store

Check out the NEW NEW NEW section. You'll find the Tuba Guy in "gold" and black as well as in black-and-white. For the more serious (or mysterious) musicians and music lovers amongst us, find the "Authentic Cadence" (yes, I V I) merchandise in black and in gray. Find these also on black T-shirts.

In fact, check out the Black Music T-shirt section and you'll find both the "Authentic Cadence" and the Tuba Guy (find him in the Musical Instruments section). (A gray ["silver"?] tuba guy is in process for black T-shirts and, perhaps, other merch.)

I may be putting up some other cadences and chord progressions as well.

In other news related to Music Stuff & More store, I've been working on store maintenance a lot this Summer, adding in new products, straightening things out (aka organizing better, as well as improving navigation), adding more text. There's a new Sunny Circle of Fifths for those who are into light yellow (certainly Summery, also could be considered more feminine/girly).

More musical foolishness from me... Music gone wild...

Remember the "Tiger Rag"? "Hold that tiger, hold that tiger..."?

Well, I have an assortment of musical instruments of a tiger variety dubbed "Tiger Rag."

Not only have I tidied, caught up, and put the guitar area in order quite a bit, but new guitar graphics have been added - from other CafePress shopkeepers. Finally electric guitars have arrived as a result, as well as a few of the best guitar graphics around CafePress.

The Tiger Rag Piano is available on black T-Shirts, as well as on the full range of other CafePress merch. The Tiger Rag tuba, trumpet, and trombones are not available on black tees, yet. Not sure if they can be? A technical, black-tee issue. Stay tuned.
