June 1 - Ribbon Tag Baby Blankets (or Loveys as Emma would say)

I have designed some new baby lovey tag blankets for my Etsy shop.  These all include an option for personalization with an appliqued initial.

May 31 - Custom Birthday Banner

One of my Etsy customers sent me this photo of the custom birthday banner I made for her son's first birthday party.  Molly saw it and wanted one for a good friend's son.  I finished it this morning and it is off to another first birthday party planned for tomorrow.  I will be listing these in my Etsy shop soon.

May 28 - Appliqued Onesies

I made some appliqued onesies for a few of Emily's friends that are expecting soon.  I decided to make some for my Etsy shop too!  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the designs.

I finished a Crab, Popsicle, Turtle, and Elephant and cut the initial monogram into the design.

May 16 - Summer Fun Fabric Banner

I finished a new fabric banner today - Summer Fun.  I love the bright colors and appliques - popsicle, fruit pot, and sunglasses wearing sun!

April 24 - Reverse Appliqued Turtle Name Banner for Bobby

I designed this turtle name banner for Bobby.  The letters are done in a reverse applique within the turtle body.  I used tiny white buttons for the turtle eyes.

April 12 - Frog Banner for Noah

I finished this cute fabric frog banner for Noah last night.  I made it as a prototype for custom banners in the same style for my Etsy shop.

I am pleased with the way it turned out and love the color and fabric combinations!

March 29 - Fabric Banners

I am finishing up some fabric banners today for my Etsy Shop.  I made these for nursery or children's room decor in a style for boys and a style for girls.  I am working now to post some cute birthday banners..... coming soon!  I have my prototypes done, but just need to complete the photography.

March 12 - Little Monster Tooth Fairy Pillow

I added a new tooth fairy pillow design to my Etsy shop today.  It is a "little monster" in green dots and stripes with an initial applique on the back.  His mouth holds the tooth and $$$.  I made this sample up with Noah in mind!

February 28 - Little Chick Rattle

This little chick baby rattle I designed is crafted using a designer yellow dotted print by Moda and has a soft minky back and wool felt heart and features.  He has an initial appliqued on his back.  Wouldn't these be cute for a baby's Easter basket?

January 27 - Counting Fish and Caterpillar Rattle

I finished 2 new designs today and listed them on Etsy.  I love the green, aqua, and orange color combination.  It's so bright and cheery!

I made a set of 10 counting fish with an appliqued carrying/storage drawstring bag and a caterpillar rattle.

January 18 - Owl Bean Bag Toys

I finished these 3 little owl bean bag toys this morning.  They have an initial appliqued on their backs.

January 18 - A Snowy Winter Morning

It snowed in Charlotte last night.  We don't see snow much here.  I took a shot from our front porch this cold morning.

Time to catch up on my blogging...

I haven't posted since the end of November, wow!  What have I been doing?  The answer is filling orders on my Etsy shop that I opened the end of September.  I introduced an owl tooth fairy pillow that I designed to my shop the end of November.

I did not anticipate their popularity!  As of this morning, I have sold (and gifted a few) a total of 80 tooth fairy pillows in about 7 weeks.  Keeping up with these orders has taken most of my free time.  I plan to go back and post entries from 2012 and catch up on my daily blog diary soon.  Here is a shot of the stack of my work that is shipping today.

November 30 - More Tooth Fairy Pillows

What am I working on tonight?  More tooth fairy pillows for little girls. Look at the cute names of the little girls that will have them soon.
