i just finished this Hoot Owl Family and Pennat Banner for my new-mom-to-be client.
my 7 mth old can't get enough of these owls and i've had to hide them in my room to keep them safe from little hands!
i think the black and white and bright color contrasts are eye-catching for babies.
the mom and baby each have a felt heart on their bums. i added a folded handkerchief to the dad's pocket and i personally love the flower on the mommy.
the pennant banner has 11 flags and measures a little over 6 ft long.

i love them all and hope the soon-to-be baby girl will love them in her nursery as well.

i shipped them today and hope it's just what my sweet client was hoping for.

she e-mailed me today and told me she had the mobile all up and ready to greet these hoots.
i'll post a picture of her finished product when i get it. i can't wait to see it all together!

i have another new client who's having her third child and it 's a boy. i see cars, trucks, trains, and super heros in her future...:) i love little boys.
she e-mailed me to see if i could do 5 mini (5-6 inch) Hoot Owls to make a mobile out of for her nursery. um, yes i can and thanks for asking!
she used Alexander Henry's Spotted Owl in Natural fabric for her curtains and i got these fabrics to compliment the curtains and the room. even my husband loves them.
i've made two mini owls so far and i'm in love.
i see more mini owls in my future...
i love these custom orders and these darling clients who are letting my creative thoughts soar.

i have a darling new client who's pregnant with their first child and it's a girl. how fun is that?
she's ordered a Hoot Owl Family, a Pennant Banner, and a Bird Mobile. for colors she said,
"if you have a black and white damask, or some sort of black and white print, brown, bubblegum pink, light turquoise, lime green, orange.i want the sharpness and elegance of the black and white, with the whimsical fun of the bright colors."
these are the fabrics i get to create from. i think her choice in colors is so beautiful and i can't wait to get started on these projects.
i'll keep an update of the project's progression. can't wait to see it all come to life.

doll love

my good friend, Jami, is having her 4th child (i know, she's amazing) and first girl! she ordered two owls to go in her nursery but i had to add a baby to make a family. i'm gifting her the "daddy" and "baby". i'm in love with the baby especially. i had a woman convo me about making a "mommy" and "baby" and i think it's a GREAT idea. i've been checking out fabrics (anyone in a purple mood?) and am making some sketches...

my 6 mth old LOVES this guy. i finished him last night and put him on her bookshelf where i keep all the items for my shop. she noticed it immediately when she woke up and i finally had to hide it so she would nurse--sheesh! :) the colors and patterns must be very eye catching.



you can check out the hoot owls, monster mania doll and more here.
