New Items: Super Capes!

The newest item in the shop is something I think is so much fun! 

After making the apron I got the idea to make super hero capes and totally had to start with one for my very own little super hero! Tucker picked out his fabric, this one because it had yellow, his new favorite color. 

What little boy (or girl!) wouldn't love to turn into their very own super hero with the help of one of these? I'm thinking Tucker's 4th (okay, I almost wrote 3rd because I cannot believe he'll be four!) birthday might even have a super hero theme with these little guys as the favor for each friend!

 {Super Tucker!}

 {It makes him run speedy fast!}

{Gotta hang up the cape at the end of a busy day of being super!}

Another order...for twins again!

My MIL placed an order right after the shop opened for burp cloths for a friend of hers at work. A friend that is expecting twin boys. Names have yet to be decided, so there were no personalization in these, but I did add ribbon to some of them. I've got some more fun burp cloths to share from my friend Lynn's baby shower & the extra details I added to her burp cloths as well.

Many of the orders that fill my time right now are for people I know or through people I know. I'm hoping the shop will pick up some soon (I've purchased an ad spot for the summer...more on that later). Not that I'm not crazy busy with end of the year teaching stuff as it is, but once summer hits, I'd love to be able to spend more time working on orders & growing the business. The capes I'm working on adding to the shop are almost ready & uber cute! I can't wait to give Tucker his & have a little photo shoot! 

A Taggie for Jackson

My first official order via Etsy was from a friend I went to school with. When I say went to school with, I mean from elementary school on up!

Lucy had her first son, Jackson, in October and it brought so many memories of when I had Tucker flooding back to me. Jackson's birthday is October 10 (yes, 10.10.10) and Tucker was born October 11 (just three years before!) so every first she puts makes me remember those same firsts with Tucker. & it makes my ovaries ache for another little boy!

I was excited to work on this blanket for Jackson & just love the photo she sent me of him with it! Could he be any more handsome?!

Got Twins?

I was contacted a few weeks ago by my friend (who hasn't updated her blog in sometime!) Meagan's Aunt Sherri for a custom order. She had seen the blanket & burp cloths I had made for Meagan at her baby shower and thought of me when her neighbor recently had twins. Lucky for me my business is up & running and I was able to take this order. We decided to go with a coordinating fabric for the twin's blankets, seeing as they are boy/girl twins. I think they turned out just precious (if I do say so myself!)

I can't wait for her neighbor to get these blankets & the little bundles of joy to start lovin' on them as well.

Oh...and my business cards came in! My phone number is on them although I cropped it out in this picture. I totally forgot to put my email address on them though, so I've been writing it on the back with each order.
