A-Line Dress


These dresses were the first thing I started sewing when my daughter was just a little baby.  This one is for the springtime in a pink and brown cotton print with the polka dot bows!  Instead of an initial, you can also add a monogram or full name.

Personalized, A-Line dress - $25

Boy name pillow

Bodie's nursery is the MVP line form Babies R Us, which is sports themed in maroons, navy blue, and brown.  Hope this will add a nice personal touch!!

Boys, boys, boys!!!!

An intial rugby stripe shirt! 

Either a number "1" for a birthday boy, or an intial for anytime!

A personalized, reversible bib, which also looks cute with a big number one for when the birthday boy gets covered in icing form smashing his cake!

Makes a really cute birthday gift as a set!

Simple and classic -   Four stockings, each with a different white trim! I can hardly wait till Christmas!!

Personalized Flannel Stocking - $25

Bow Holders



I love these for a place to keep all  the bows and clips for your little girl.   They even look prettier hanging on the wall when they are filled with big, colorful bows!!  They can be made to match your room decor or just in a fun color scheme!!  The top is wood, and the ribbons can vary in number and length!

Personalized Bow Holder - $18

The hardest person to buy for....



SO, obviously I am NOT a photographer...sorry about the pictures!

 I dont know if it is because I used to be a teacher or not, but I have the most difficult time figuring out what to get for teacher gifts every year (and yes, my oldest child is only in his second year of preschool!!!).  I always try to think of something besides the token Bath-and-Body works lotion set or Yankee candle.  I saw glass jars like these and LOVED them!!!!  These two are done in the school colors, but they can also be made in typical primary colors - blue, red, and yellow, or a trendy combination, like brown and teal, or hot pink and black! I think I will fill them with candy and maybe a Starbucks gift card or something! If you know these teachers....shhhhh, don't tell them!!!

Personalized glass jar - $20

Tinkerbell...


...and Spider Man!!!

Do you know how hard I tried to talk Cade out of being Spider Man?? Of course, I wanted to make him something hand-made and coordinating with Els, for which he would probably get beat up at the preschool Halloween parade...but .his mind was set on Spidey!!!  I guess it is probably for the better!

We got spirit, Yes we do!!

Just Sayin'

I saw this "trend alert" in a specialty kids clothing magazine:            
It says: "TREND ALERT: Flounce hems add the cutest details!"

So, I thought I would try my own "flounce hems" to see how they would look:

I think I might agree!!!

Just Embroidery...

SO, to make matters easier, I thought I would just post the basic charges for embroidery on an item you already have.  I usually respond to a request with something like, "well, um, I don't know, how about couple dollars?" or something similar.  So for consistency sake, here are some basic prices:

A single letter - $5
A single name - $10
A monogram/or other intital set - $10
Team Name and mascot - ex "Barnesville Shamrocks" - $15

Hope this helps!!

Name Banner

Little Andrew has an animal-themed nursery, so his aunt ordered this banner to welcome him into the world!  I just love the idea of going into the new baby's house while they are still at the hospital and hanging a banner like this on the mantle or wall for when they arrive home with their new bundle!!!

Name Banner

Kind of hard to see, but it says, "Welcome, Gabriella!"  I had a shower for a friend of mine who adopted a little girl.  The decorations were set to match the fabric in the nursery, which are primarily orange and pink.  She ended up taking the banner home, taking off the "welcome" strand, and hanging it in little Gabriella's room as a permanent decoration!

Personalized Name banner - $25

The big # 4!!!

frontback

What a cute, but not too cute :), way for a new four year old to celebrate his special day!!  The number 4 is made with red felt and then stitched "unevenly" around the edges in yellow.  The back has a little number 4 in the top center!

Number Shirt - $15

Happy Two-Two....


A perfect outfit for a new 2-year old!!!  The t-shirt has an applique "2" on it with the birthday girl's name embroidered on it.  The tutu is made to coordinate with the colors in the shirt/leggings!  (can't figure out why the picture won't turn around the right way!!)

Personalized Birthday Number shirt - $25
Tutu - $15

Boats, boys and Burpies...


This is a set of 2 burp cloths made from super-soft flannel.  One has the baby's first name, and the other has a monogram.  The backs are a coordinating print on the same soft flannel.

Flannel burp cloth set of 2 (personalized) - $16

Little Pumpkins


This one is for my littlest pumpkin, Ellie.  I think I will add an orange/white polka dot ruffle to the bottom of some brown leggings, or a swirl skirt in the brown fabric from the stem.....not sure, yet.  She will probably end up wearing it with just jeans :) !!

Personalized Applique shirt - $25

Welcome Home, new baby!!!


A friend of mine asked me to make a "welcome home" banner for her sister-in-law who just had her first baby, Margaret.  She, then, went into the new baby's house while they were still in the hospital and hung this on the mantle and added a big, bright flower arrangement, so when they came back from the long hospital stay, they could celebrate in style!  Margararet's bedding is an "Under the Sea" theme, in blues and teals, so I followed the theme, and added some pink to make the banner complete!

Name banner with ribbon - $25

A Fall Pear...


LOVE these fall colors!!!  I am working on a tiered ruffle skirt to go with this shirt, and maybe some ruffle-bottom leggings, too!!  Will post pictures when I finish them.
