OK, this is the piece that was treasury-bound . . . I am in LOVE with this thing! They have it with different ribbons, but these are my favorite. Its a "teddy bear " vest for keeping the little one warm! So cuddly, yes? I bet they could TOTALLY make matching booties! They have this vest in two sizes.

If the ultrasound on Friday says girl, I'm rushing over to buy one! Happy Etsy shopping and thanks for reading! If kid stuff isn't your thing, don't worry. I'll do something for grown ups next week!

Sneak Peek!

Some of you have heard me wondering about my sanity when I started creating this starfish sun hat. It just sounded weird, but I really like it! So, if you've been curious, here are some shots! (This hat won't be listed on Etsy until tomorrow, but if it must be yours, let me know and I'll reserve it for you and list it ASAP!)

As it would look on some cute little one's noggin!

Anyway, I really love it. It was a little plain, so I added the buttons to represent pebbles. The hat is sized for a toddler/preschooler (ages 2-5). What do you think?

Ladybug MANIA

Somewhere along the line, I must have developed some sort of ladybug obsession. It all started when I had an idea to make a ladybug hat, in my pre-Etsy existance. I made it and had no one to give it to . . . my child is a boy! So, I learned about Etsy, tried it out, and promptly sold said hat to a photographer.
I think the ladybug thing stems from my love of red and black polka dots. If you find me a red polka dot dress, its all I can do to ask permission from the budget before diving in!
A few days ago, I noticed something about my shop.
This hat, which would fit an elementary school student is on clearnace, actually. The listing expires in just over a week (on ultrasound day!).

I'd been planing on making ladybug hairties for awhile (I've already done bumblebee ones) and got them in on Monday, I think.

And today I added the bag . . .

So if you know a polka dot or ladybug fanatic, send 'em my way . . . . I'll have what they want! lol!
