Baby Items

I had a few orders that were placed in November/December but weren't needed till January/February. Since I am such a procrastinator I just recently finished up some of the orders and sent them off. Baby sets are really my favorite items to be creative with so these were fun to do.  Isn't the black and pink really cute together?

This was a December order for a baby and his big brother to wear. I bet they got some cute pics!

Baby Bibs

I did a girl version of these bibs that turned out really cute, but a customer wanted a boy version.  I always get stumped on boy stuff because I always want to use pink purple asmy go to colors, so boy stuff takes a little more effort.  I think  these turned out cute though while staying boyish!

Bibs

Some new designs I came up with. You could replace aunt uncle or with mom/dad.

A fun way to trade!

A recently came across an add on craigslist where a lady who sells Mary Kay makeup was wanting to trade makeup for handmade items (bows, clothes, etc.). I use Mary Kay makeup and thought it sounded like a fun idea. Mary Kay makeup is not cheap if bought at full price, so I figured I could embroider some items for her and I would get my make-up for a fraction of the cost. Today we met at McDonalds and swaped items. It was such a fun way to trade items. I got my makeup and she got some cute embroidered items! (By the way, I looked the lady up on the Mary Kay website before I aggreed to the deal, she was a reputable Mary Kay seller.)

The only thing I changed was the size of the sleeves. I cut out a 4 1/2in by 9 1/2in rectangle for each sleeve before hemmed and ruffled the bottom material before attaching.
