For Triplets . . .

When my facebook friends heard about my new tiny twin nieces, they came out in full force with words of encouragement. One even found some hand-me-down preemie clothes for the little ones (who knew preemie clothes were so hard to find?!?). To thank the woman who is donating clothing that belonged to her triplets, I've made a set of booties for them!
For a boy . . .

For another boy . . .

And for her girl!

awww . . . I can just imagine all those little feet . . . man, that's a lot of baby! Thank you!

The Whale Beanie

I've had an idea to put a whale on a sun hat, and i got the perfect opportunity to practce my whale stitching skills on this custom order!
The whale has a hand stitched grin, eye, and spout of water.

Light blue with white stripe and edging to add interest to the body of the hat.

Thanks for having me make this, Meagan!

Etsy Sweethearts - Wee Bee Uniques by Julie

Remember I told you I'd been the lucky recipient of some unexpected and very sweet gifts from my new friends? Well, Julie of Wee Bee Uniques had me pick out a couple favorites from her shop as a gift to Big Mac! She also sent shedding snakes for Crazy Pants, but he must love them a lot because he hid them from me and won't let me take a picture. lol! Here's my baby in his brown bear hat with orange stripes . . .
This is only his fourth or fifth time trying on a hat, so forgive the confused expression!

And this is the photo prop hat we picked. Isn't it sooooo cute? Big Mac has an extraordinary noggin (96th percentile!) and my hubby loves these hats so much, he told me not to hand them down to another baby, but keep them for the next. He's a fan of Julie's now for sure!

You can check out Julie's work on facebook:

Giveaway Item - Flower Booties!

I had that fun giveaway for reaching 500 fans and now have enough progress on the custom orders to start making the prizes for the winners now and then. The first winner choose baby booties in pink and white, so I thought it would be fun to try a new idea I had . . .
What do you think of the flowers as toe tops? I think I like them.

Otherwise, they're just like the booties I've been making, with the addition of and extra touch of color around the bottom to tie the flower in.

Etsy Baby Gifts - Lilikin's

If you've been holding out on buying or selling on Etsy, wondering if it would be a good experience, let me tell you, for the most part, everyone on Etsy is sweet, kind, and a pleasure to deal with! Case in point - the Etsy welcome for Big Mac! I will be posting his gifts as I get around to it and as the summer heat permits! (Lots of hats for Big Mac!)
Not only was I a participant in the Etsy Baby Shower, but some sellers spontaneously decided to welcome Big Mac by sending sweet handmade lovlies.
My sweet friend at Lilikin's http://lilikin14.etsy.com sent two of these SUPER ADORABLE diaper burp cloths for him!
The diaper makes the burp cloth extra soft and absorbant, and, as you can see, its big enough for the biggest baby oopsies!

I always love going to her shop to see what's new . . . she picks the most adorable fabrics in the world! In her shop, you'll find quilts, lovies, recieving blankets, burp cloths, and drawstring bags. Pay a visit! She also has a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Lililikins.Baby.Blankets.and.Quilts?ref=ts

Jennifer of Doodle Bug Boutique (you can find her store on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Doodle-Bug-boutique-and-more/122572481103173 ) Fell in love with a hat and a dress and combined them to have me make this fun toddler dress!
Here's the hat she ordered to match.

A toddler size rose head band to match that dress!
