Embroidery

My wonderful mother got me an embroidery machine for my birthday. I have started to experiment with it and it's so fun! Here are some examples of embroidery I've done. . .

More Wipe Cases

I've had some more orders for wipe cases and I've had so much fun making them! Here are my lastest . . .




** by the way, they are $10 each if you're interested. :)
Check out my etsy shop for other great finds, ready to be sent your way!!

Wipe Case

I made my first wipe cases this week. They are so fun! I made one for our little baby boy coming in 3 1/2 weeks (!) and one for a lady at AJ's work. I really like how they turned out! You can order a custom wipe case for $10. I am starting to embroider some so inquire about that as well. :)

CRAFT FAIR THIS WEEKEND!!!

Come visit me this weekend at the Ozark Arts & Crafts Festival at the Springdale Convention Center!! It is all day friday & saturday. My friend Emily will share a booth with me featuring her business, Chocolate Blue. She sells super cute letter plaques for your child's room. :)

Neutral Gift Set

Here is a fun uni-sex gift set...inspired by my friend Erin, who recently adopted a sweetie pie from Ethiopia. She loved the tan/cream/chocolate brown zebra rug from Pottery Barn Kids. I wanted to make her something that was similar...and this line was born. :) I will be listing this set (minus the tag blankie) on my etsy site soon....so good look for it! If you need a baby gift...this is a great one!!

One More Nap Mat :)

I had to show just one more nap mat. I just made this as a custom order and I L-O-V-E the fabric she chose. This is probably one of my favorite girl nap mats I've done....simply because of the fabric and color combination. I would pick this if I had a girl. :) Isn't it fun?

My latest Nap Mat

I have been making tons of nap mats lately. It's that time of year. :) This one was a special order and I just love this funky monkey fabric. I think it looks great with the chocolate brown minky.

Tuxedo Clippies

I just finished an order of tuxedo clippies for my good friend. These are really fun to make . . . and sell! :) I normally sell them for $2 each or $1 for just a plain flat clippie (no bow). I reduce the price for multiple orders. I am happy to make custom orders! :) Check out my etsy shop for some other tuxedo clippies.

Pillow Case Dress

I just finished my first pillowcase dress this afternoon.  It is for an order from a lady at AJ's work!  She asked for the toile pattern & zebra bow specifically.  I had never made a pillowcase dress before and it was actually pretty fun.  She also asked for a headband for the hair bow because the baby this is for doesn't have enough hair yet.

  I am going to be selling these crocheted head bands at the October craft fair as an option to go with the bows.  They are great because you can interchange them with different bows.

Kitchen Towel

A new project I'm having fun with is embellish towels.  About a year ago I had a lady at a craft fair look at one of my burp cloths and say, "If that was a kitchen towel, I'd buy it!"  She didn't have a baby to buy for, but she liked the design.  Anyhow, I'm just now getting around to it.  This is the first one I made --a kitchen towel for a friend's birthday.  I'm going to try to make up a bunch for the Ozark Arts & Crafts Festival in October.  I'm excited to experiment with new designs and appliqueing.  

Woo Pig Sooie!

I just finished a couple of these burp cloth sets for ladies at AJ's work.  AJ is a walking advertisement for my business!

I'm in a sewing mood....

So I've been doing a lot of sewing these days.  I'm really enjoying it right now....which is good b/c I've had several orders.  Here are some pictures of some burp cloths I've been working on for orders....

I L-O-V-E this fabric!!  It's so fun and bright!

The following picture is just something that makes me so so happy!  I have a major ribbon fetish.  Ribbon just makes me happy.  I just ordered a new stash from Ribbon Retreat...which by the way, is awesome....look them up online if you're in the market.  They have an amazing selection and ship out super fast.  So this is what was in my package yesterday.  It was like Christmas morning!  Aren't these colors yummy?  I can't wait to make some fabulous hair bows with these!  

Zebra Print Tag Blankie

I absolutely love the new animal print minky fabric they have at Hancocks right now.  They have all different kinds.  Minky is already one of my favorite fabrics.  So having it in animal print just makes my day! :)  I used dark chocolate brown minky dot fabric on the other side with coordinating ribbons.  This seriously is one of my favorites.  

One of my new favorites . . .

The Blue Kangaroo

2 Blonde Boys is being sold in a boutique!!

If you live in College Station, TX, go check out The Blue Kangaroo.  It's on Longmire, if you know where that is.  

It's a really cute boutique and they are selling my items.  Thanks to my friend Ruth Lee's sweet sister, Robyn.  Robyn works there and worked hard to get 2 Blonde Boys in there.  Yay! :)

If You're Local......

You should be able to click on the image to make it larger.  If you're having trouble reading the address, it's at The Church at Arkansas, 1906 E. Mission Blvd. (Behind Eureka Pizza in East Fayetteville).  We may be having live music and food for sale!  Come visit us, this will be fun!

Crayon Holder

These hold approx. 24 crayons.  They roll up nicely and are great to take along to restaurants or anywhere you need your child to sit and color quietly!  These are really cute monagrammed!

My latest gift set...

Here is a very fun baby gift set I just finished.  It's a tag blankie & burp cloth set.  The tag blankie has super soft minky on one side and a satin brown with pink circles material on the other.  Click on my etsy link to see the full description!
