Vintage Storybook Onesies

I have been wanting to make these for a long time now! Each onesie has a handmade patch on the front of it. The patch is made of a vintage storybook image and a square of chenille. The Vintage Storybook onesies are $12 and available in my Etsy shop. Larger size tees available soon!

Monogrammed baby gift set

Love this new set! This set includes a chenille bib and burpcloth with a coordinating onesie. The onesie has a single initial on the front, perfect to introduce anyone into this big wide world. I have been designing these for boys and girls in a wide range of colors. Please see my Etsy site for upcoming listings of the monogrammed baby gift set perfect for your little one!

my new craze!!

I have to admit, I have a new addiction! I have started metal stamping and I can't quit! Today I stamped some vintage silverware, I will photograph those later. But for now, here are some of the stamped works. "All in the family" necklaces are available to custom order in the Etsy shop, as well as the other fun findings....enjoy!

Covered Bridge Festival 09

Every year, for the past 3, I set up in Mansfield for the Covered Bridge Festival. This show is huge and lasts 10 days! The weather this year was terrible nearly the entire time, but at least I was inside...dry...and warm. Of course, I forgot to take photos until the last day, so my booth looks a little sparse, but I thought I would share anyways.

the basics

One of the first things I started making was bib and burpcloth sets. After trying out a couple designs, tie and velcro, side closure or back, big or little. I came to what I believe is the perfect set for any newborn. The neck on the bib actually will fit into the toddler years, but when they begin to feed, I think a feeder bib works a whole lot better. I make my sets from super soft chenille and flannel usually. Lately, I have been trying to use up all the flannel and use strictly cottons. There is a much better fabric selection and of course, you can make clothes to match! :) I still stuggle with fun boy fabrics, but switching to cotton has allowed for some new prints. Finally!
