Boutique Baby

We had a fun and relaxing staycation over Spring Break last week with some of our closest friends and it was hard to wake up to that alarm this morning. Now I have the house to myself again and it's time to get back to work. I've completed lots of baby gift sets recently but was waiting for the recipients to see them in person before I posted them here. I've made a change in pricing in one of my baby items. The custom sewn bibs are now $15, while the white knit ready-made bibs (like below) with monogram are still $10. Please specify when you order which style you prefer and I'll charge you accordingly. Thanks so much!

 

 

 

 

The laundry is calling my name again. Have a great Monday!



M-I-C-K-E-Y

It's that time of year again when my friends plan really fun trips to Disney World and we . . . don't. I made this set of shirts for a good friend of mine who was planning to surprise their kids with a Disney trip on the DAY they were to leave. They woke them up early, gave them their shirts and immediately left for the airport. What an unforgettable memory! I really like how the chevron Minnie silhouette shirts turned out. They're a little more age-appropriate for the tween set.

 She needed a pirate Mickey shirt for little brother too.

 And, of course, a princess crown shirt for an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

I know y'all had such a fun time on your memorable trip, E! I can't wait to hear all about it.

Name Pillows

Sorry about the poor photography here. I don't know what was happening when I took these photos but it was probably in the middle of the night and I was in a hurry to go to bed. I've been making LOTS of name pillows, many of which are for repeat customers (thank you!), and I'm really enjoying using the chevron more. Geometric patterns make me happy.

Snips and Snails

Of course, after my last post asserting that the girls were winning the gender race I had a whole slew of boy orders come through to keep things even. I'm still in love with gray chevron and try to use it every chance I get before it goes out of style. I'm also trying to pare down my fabric stash. I've done an extensive purge of my sewing room and am determined to keep it in order, so no new fabrics until I use what I already have. I've pinned several inspirational ideas for craft rooms but am so disillusioned by how unreasonably impeccable they are. Whose sewing/craft room looks magazine-shoot ready all the time, with perfect stacks of fat quarters in color spectrum order? Not very realistic for me. I'm trying to strike a balance between Martha Stewart Living and Hoarders.

I've added some new stacked monogram designs that are perfect for a bib applique. This chunky Times New Roman is one of my faves.

Another new stacked monogram (fill-stitch).

Sugar and Spice



There have been lots of little girls born in  my circle of friends recently, and apparently in yours as well. The pink is winning over the blue right now.

How precious is this scripture with the personalized name? I added it to a store-bought minky lovey and it's one of my favorites. It might be my go-to baby shower gift from now on. What new mom can resist shedding a tear when she sees her baby's name in this well-known scripture? The truth it expresses makes all the difference.

Pillows

Bibs and Burps

Here are some bib and burp sets I've completed recently. I'm restocking fabrics and shipping supplies getting ready to go again. Did y'all know shipping costs at USPS have gone up again? Ugh. I'll probably have to increase my prices too because of it.
