wedding and anniversary gifts

2010-08-13T18:27:00.003-06:00

these can be used as picture frames or as trays for a coffee table. they can also be propped up on a shelf.

just a few of my latest projects...

2010-08-13T18:08:00.001-06:00

i've been busy...

2010-06-14T23:07:00.006-06:00

i've been too busy to even post things i've been working on so the next few posts are all just clumped together! i'll start with the randomness first...

this is typically how you will receive your items

i made this for a wedding gift. it can be used as either a picture you can hang or a tray for your coffee table. i ended up making another one for my husband for our anniversary because he liked this one so much!

i made these dresses for all three of my daughters. nevermind the purple boots my 2-yr-old picked out to wear with hers.

this is a super cute little headband i made for my baby. they can be made in any fabric/color you want!

my newest line...

2010-02-01T14:56:00.002-07:00

...of super cute stuff for the pet in your life! a good friend of mine suggested i branch out...so i did, and i made her a cute "on the go" tote and shirt for her new dog.

multi-purpose board

2010-02-01T14:53:00.002-07:00

these boards can be used for lots of different things. i made these for some sweet little girls who have attached movie tickets, pictures of friends, drawings, etc. they can also be used to hold hair bows and clips. they can be covered with any type of fabric and coordinating ribbon.

big boy shirt

2010-02-01T14:50:00.003-07:00

i made this for a sweet little boy who was turning 5. i had no idea what to make because a name shirt might not be cool at 5. so i asked him what his favorite nascar driver's number was (since i knew he was a nascar fan) and i just put the numbers on a shirt for him. he loved it! i used a textured fabric for the numbers to make it a little more unique.

baby "l" gift set

2010-02-01T14:47:00.000-07:00

this is a onesie and burp cloth gift set.

neutral baby blanket

2010-02-01T14:44:00.001-07:00

i made this for someone who had a baby girl but didn't want a super "girly" blanket. the pale yellow minky fabric has a rose pattern so it's girly, but very neutral.

happy birthday avery!

2010-02-01T14:42:00.001-07:00

our christmas shirts

2010-02-01T14:39:00.001-07:00

car seat covers!!

2009-10-20T14:20:00.004-06:00

a friend of mine who recently had a baby got a cover like this online. she got hers on babysteals for a discount, but when i went looking, i found that they retail for $45-$90! there's NO way i'd ever pay that much for a car seat cover! so, i decided to make my own. i have made them several different ways. some have flaps, some don't. some have velcro, some have snaps. just depends on what you like. these covers will keep germs away from your precious little one since people won't be able to touch baby. they will also keep baby warm through the cold months. no more throwing a blanket over your baby!

birthday girl!

2009-10-18T12:02:00.002-06:00

i made this shirt for my sweet niece who turned 4 a few weeks ago. i took two coordinating fabrics and spelled out "birthday girl" and then appliqued the letters to the shirt. once washed, the letters fray and look super cute!

teagan's latest blanket

2009-10-18T11:47:00.003-06:00

i love this blanket because it has kind of a vintage-y look to it. it's made out of a super soft velvet/minky like material...hard to describe. orange and hot pink, beautiful fabrics, but a nightmare to work with! i love the way it turned out but i will most likely never work with this type of fabric again. i used ribbon for the trim of this blanket and i really like the look of that as well. so, here's a one of a kind, i guess :)

christmas tees and another baby blanket

2009-10-16T17:47:00.004-06:00

these matching shirts have santa christmas fabric for the initial and contrasting colors for the background.

and another baby banket...

awaiting my 3rd little byrdies arrival...

2009-09-15T11:21:00.005-06:00

i couldn't resist. i found the cutest flannel fabric with little birdies on it and i had to make something for my 3rd little byrdie! this is the same blanket as gavin's (two posts down), except that i used rick rack for the border of this one. these blankets measure approx. 38"x38" and are made of soft, cuddly flannel fabrics, perfect for the fall and winter! instead of doing her name and birthday, i just did her name and added a little bird embroidery to match the bird fabric on the other side.

onesie for little lena

2009-09-06T15:50:00.002-06:00

blanket and burp cloth set for baby gavin

2009-09-04T10:44:00.004-06:00

this set is made of flannel materials with a contrasting piping around the edges. baby's name and birthday are embroidered on the bottom of the blanket. the burp cloth is flannel on one side and cloth diaper on the other and has baby's initials embroidered in the coordinating fabric. it also has an attached pacifier holder so mom has a handy spot to keep it while feeding baby!

these sets are $40 - $30 for the blanket and $10 for the burp cloth.

baby blankets for andrew and kody - $35-$40

2009-09-03T11:17:00.004-06:00

newborn set for little henry

2009-08-26T08:19:00.002-06:00

this set consists of a burp cloth and two onesies. this little guy will by tiny when he's born so i did a newborn onesie and then a 0-3 month onesie that he can wear a little longer. his last name is byrd like ours and so i used a cute bird fabric for his set. this is one of my favorites!

nap blanket and pillow set

2009-08-26T08:11:00.002-06:00

i made these for my daughter for kindergarten. she needed a little nap pillow and blanket and i thought it would be fun for her to pick out her own fabric. i also embroidered it so she didn't have her name labeled in big ol' black permanent marker!

bumble bees, newborn gift set - $35

2009-08-08T16:38:00.003-06:00

this is the newest cutie pie set i've made. a friend of mine ordered it because she's throwing a baby shower for a friend of hers and the gender is unknown. they are doing a bumble bee theme so i came up with this cute little ensemble. i decided to go with gold and brown tones instead of the typical yellow and black.

this particular set (a burp cloth, onesie, and bib) is $35.

2009-05-23T14:32:00.004-06:00

2009-05-23T14:21:00.005-06:00

i made these for a cheerleading squad here in town that had their State competition coming up. These bags were for gifts for the girls.

baby blankets - $35

2008-11-24T10:34:00.010-07:00

***update*** see my newer post of baby blankets for pictures!!

well, i have made my first baby blanket for a friend who just had a precious baby girl. however, i was so excited to give it to them that i forgot to take a picture of it!! so, for now, i'll just describe it to you and as soon as i get a picture of it, i'll post it!

it is chocolate brown satin on one side and baby pink minky swirl on the other...SO SOFT!! on the brown satin i embroidered "gabriella" in the bottom corner and "11.13.08" in the opposite corner. the minky fabric is also the trim on the brown satin side, so on the brown side, you see the minky fabric as the trim and the baby's name and birthdate in pink thread to match. i can also do time of birth, weight and length of baby, initials, etc. i can also do other colors such as green blue yellow and white minky, with your choice of color for the satin fabric. pretty much any color combination you'd like. i did pink and brown for this blanket because that's how her nursery is decorated. i can also do printed satin for an added design. the possibilities are endless!!

it's such a cute baby gift and my friends loved it because it was personalized. so, watch out all of my preggo friends, there might be one coming your way!!

these are the fabrics i used. the pink is a little more pink than the picture shows.

more big brother, big sister shirts - $15

2008-11-15T09:54:00.005-07:00
