A few things I've been working on!

I love this fabric. It is my fabric and I think they turned out great! I had a special order and they keep coming! I am going to be very busy this summer!

Etsy Shop back up and running!

I finally have some things made to put up on Etsy! Of course I will still do special orders for anyone but I felt like so many people said they went to my Etsy shop and then contacted me to see if I was still making stuff. I am still making stuff, so just email me if you need anything!

My niece is 1!

Kelsey is having a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party. I decided to make her accessories for the big day!

Bib, Binky Clip and Burp Cloth


Her name on the binky clip.



My sister-in-law showed me a sippy cup leash she uses all the time. I looked online for some tutorials and most of them said that the velcro eventually gives out and the design wasn't the greatest. So I thought I would try this tutorial and see how well they work. I made two and had to keep tightening the velcro to keep the cup from slipping out. I will have to see how well my sister-in-law likes them and let you all know!



I added names to both! I also added a suspender clip to the loop so she could attach it by looping it through the arm of something or attach it to clothing or seat belt.


I filled the sippy cup up with water and threw it to the ground several times. Each time the cup fell out, I took it back to the machine and made a smaller velcro loop. It was trial and error with these cups.

Orders, orders, everywhere!

I think everyone knows I am off now and have time on my hands to sew! I have 7 orders to fill by July!

Most of the orders are from people I gave things to as gifts or past customers! I love repeat customers!

Diaper Cakes for work shower!

One coworker is having a boy and one coworker is having a girl. I made diaper cakes to decorate the gift table. I thought it would be the perfect way to distinguish which table was which. I think they turned out cute!

Baby Shower for work!

We have two teachers expecting. Here is the gift or part of it that I made. My will just help cover the costs of supplies. My teammate has the same machine as I do and is making the nursing cover and diaper case to match. We will add that to the basket and I will add another picture of the completed basket and all the decorations later.

I made 3 burp cloths, 3 bibs and 2 binky clips.
