keeping up

lest you think i've abandoned this blog...well i did for a little bit. between a 3 year old, and eight month old, laundry, dinner, dishes, diapers, curch callings, family blog, e-mail, Etsy Shop, and filling blanket and doll orders, the one thing that totally fell through the cracks for a bit was this blog.
creative wise, this is what i've been up to recently.
one monkey baby rag quilt.
this blanket is 35x35 iches, criss-crossed squares and soft white minky fabric on the back. i got it done just in time for my mother-in-law to take it back to South Carolina with her for a customer of mine. i have to admit, i was sad to see it go. i loved it so much i was considering making it MY personal snuggle blanket. :)
okay, seriously, love these mermaid girls. a friend of mine showed me a picture of a mermaid picture out of a Pottery Barn Kids catalog and asked if i could make two dolls for her twin girls turning 6 August 1st. how could i resist? they have hand embroided faces, a felt heart on their chest, sequined fin, and a modest top. i can't wait for the girls to receive it and i have another order through the Etsy shop for two more of these dolls.


my 8 month old daughter went NUTS over these dolls and i finally had to hide them from her so she would do things like eat.

i made this shark blanket for a customer who's only request was that the blanket be "manly". the Dad's a Colts football player and apparently quite that man's man. he's also from Hawaii so i thought the sharks were perfect.


i added an "f" for the family's last name.
the black and white fabric is one of my all time favorite fabrics to work with.

i've been working on another giveaway to do in the next few weeks so keep checking back. it's going to be cute. :)
