Birthday Sets and Hats

I finally had the chance to get some professional pictures taken of my daughter Willa modeling my 1st Birthday Sets. These are always hot sellers and I've really wanted to get some great pictures of them to post on my Etsy site as well as use in advertising. I'm so happy with how they turned out!

If you are in the Denver area and are looking for an AWESOME photographer, please make sure to check out Jessica Juriga Photography. She is super easy to work with, great with kids, and takes really fabulous pictures!

A while back I had the chance to make some great Hip Violet baby shower gifts/decorations for two little twin girls. A friend of mine had me make two bibs, two t-shirts and two onesies all with birdies for her friend's baby shower. She hung them up as decorations at the shower and gave them to the mom-to-be as gifts too. The two little ladies are finally here - and sporting their adorable birdie shirts too!
Speaking of babies, I got a few blank hats and was able to do a little birdie applique. I also have done a tiny owl. I have a few more left (and can get them in baby blue and white) - let me know if you are interested! They will be $15 each.
Make sure to check out my Holiday Show Schedule over on the right. I will be at some GREAT shows this winter - make sure to stop by and get all your holiday shopping done!

New Retail Location & Fun Sets

I'm happy to announce that my bibs are now available at Tomte Craft in Denver, CO! Here are just a few of the bibs I dropped off:



I also had the chance to do a really fun set for a mom with a little boy who is due in a few weeks for a "surprise baby" - since they don't know what they are having, we did one for each gender!
And a funny little set for a fun couple - one is a big Florida State University fan and the other is a huge University of Florida fan. This is for their daughter! And just a note - although you won't see "licensed" fabric like this on my Etsy site or at shows, I am happy to make them if you send me the fabric!
Have a hip day!

Another Chance to WIN!

I was recently featured and reviewed on the HSUper Parents Blog - check it out HERE!

There is also a chance to win a super cute gender neutral bib in one of my favorite fabrics - Retro Kids in the Kitchen!
I have also been busy adding new bibs to my Etsy Shop - let me know what you think! They are my newer style where I am doing a lot more pattern-on-pattern applique instead of solid fleece. I am loving them but I always love your opinions!


Keep checking back on my site - I'm hoping to add a bunch of new onesies and t-shirts later this week!

Have a great day!

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! :)
