My Own Little Birthday Girl!
It was my youngest daughter Willa's 1st birthday last weekend! I can't BELIEVE she is one already! Time really does fly... But it was REALLY fun to go shopping for some super cute fabric just for her 1st Birthday Set. I found this awesome retro mushroom fabric that worked out just perfectly! Here she is showing off her shirt at the Botanic Gardens.
And her bib. Yes, I did make mushroom cupcakes too :)
If you have a little person turning 1 or 2 and would like a custom birthday set (you pick the fabric!), let me know!
Sibling Sets! These two whales are for a sister and brother - so cute! These make awesome gifts OR are a cute idea for family photos.
I whipped up a few tank tops for my daughter Violet - she told me what she wanted and *I* picked the fabric! She loves them!
Craft show season is in full swing - if you're in the Denver area, make sure to check out my show schedule on the right. I have TONS of new products at each show and it's always so fun to meet everyone! Tell us you saw this on my blog and get an additional $2 off your purchase! :)
See you there!

Cute Customs!
I have had the best bunch of custom orders lately! It's so fun to see what other people pick to have done - a lot of times it is a fabric and applique combo I wouldn't have tried and it always turns out so cute! Here is my current favorite Retro Deer fabric with a little dotty whale:
And Retro Rockets (this was the last of it, I'm sorry to say!) with a Rocket and then a matching initial onesie
This was a first birthday set - one without a cupcake! I love this idea as you can most definitely use both pieces after the party!
Here is another initial set - this one was out of my cute Retro Pets fabric that I rarely use even though I love it! I think I may have to try it out for my next batch of bibs for the Paris Street show!
And last is a set of kitchen towels for a good friend who is getting married soon.
Contact me if you'd like to order your own custom set or items!
Have a great day!

Craft Shows!
Hurray for craft shows! We were at the Boulder Artisan's Market this past weekend and it was so much fun! I am sharing a booth most of the summer with marmalade creations - my good friend Nicole makes simply adorable felt hair clips. Check out her Etsy shop here!
Since we are sharing a tent, we had a top banner and two back banners made. Plus Nicole made this super nifty fabric banner that we put on the front. It turned out so cute, even if we do say so ourselves! It was very inviting and felt like a little boutique inside :)
Here is my side!
Even thought it was a little chilly (PLEASE remind me this summer when we're sweltering that the first shows we did were FREEZING!!), there was a great turnout and I sold a ton of stuff! Plus my favorite part - I met a bunch of really fun people! I love talking to everyone and seeing who they are buying for or just what they are up to for the day. Every show I meet the most amazing people and get to laugh - a LOT (of course Nicole helps with that too - we have the exact same sense of humor!).
My list of shows is up on the right - check it out! The next one is A Paris Street Market in Littleton, CO. It is a super cool show with about 70% antiques/vintage dealers and the rest are handmade. I went to check it out a few weekends ago and came home with all sorts of fun finds!
Soooo I was SUPPOSED to be on a fabric-buying-freeze. I have kind of a lot. And I need to USE it before I buy any more. But late one night I couldn't stop myself... I started searching on Etsy... and you all know how that goes! I am happy to say that I found a really great fabric shop that is semi-local - they are up in Fort Collins, CO and they had the BEST selection of fabric! The best part is they shipped it so soon that I got it two days later! Check out Sew Materialistic on Etsy by clicking here!
Yes, that's retro deer, garden gnomes, cars AND 80's guitar picks. I'm in fabric heaven.
I made this set from the Retro Deer. It is already sold but let me know if you'd like one - I still have plenty of fabric left!
My youngest daughter Willa is now 11 months old now and she is our last. There is very little that makes me want another baby and I have RARELY ever uttered the words "I wish I had a little one to wear this!"... until I made these two little t-shirts!
Talk about tiny. And cute. Ugh!! These were both custom orders for friends of mine. Let me know if you'd like something similar and I can see about ordering the shirts! They are great for cloth-diaper fanatics such as myself. Especially in the summer you can just have them wear a t-shirt and diaper with a cute cover or wool and it's so cute! I'm happy to try to match it to wool if you'd like!
See you soon!

** Bib Giveaway **
To celebrate my big Etsy Front Page success, I'm giving away a bib!
The bib I have up for grabs is a second - the fleece of the cupcake melted when I went to iron it (which is really weird - NONE of the other ones melted and I've only had that happen once before!). It's on the fleece of the cupcake but honestly, once you're about a foot away you can't even see it. Plus it obviously still works great as a bib.
Note: if this giveaway goes well and I have a lot of entrants, I will possibly be doing a lot more "seconds" giveaways - I have a stack of them and haven't figured out what to do with them yet!
To enter, please post a comment with either the name of your favorite pet, or your favorite pet name (does that make sense?). I'll randomly draw on Sunday, April 11th. If you do enter, please make sure your e-mail address is in your profile so I can contact you!
