I've been wearing them on my cardigans (my pregnant wardrobe item of choice).

Well hello little girl. Five weeks to go! :)

Just a side note, I may pick more than one winner...I'm just sayin'.

The Spiced Pumpkin Collection

These little flowers are my new favorite!

Dainty enough to add just the right amount of feminine without being overwhelming.

I love how small they are. Each measuring only about 1 3/4". They look great alone or in a little cluster.

A little snap clip on the back makes them perfect for the babies that have both a lot or a little hair. No hair at all? Clip it to a headband for a cute little accent

Just a little somethin'

Today I decided it was time to sew something for me!

I took my Nikon Camera strap off when I first got my camera about three years ago because it was ugly I thought it lacked in the appearance department.

Today I made this!

I love ruffles (as if you couldn't tell by now)!! and I left these ones unfinished because...

well...

it's mine and I like it that way.

I can't wait to actually put it to good use.

A new look

I have mentioned before that I'm ready for a change in the look of my shop and blog. My blog and Shop have been the same since I opened them. And since I am a sentimental fool I could not bring myself to change any of it, even though it was not my favorite to begin with. So Tonight I decided to just go ahead and do it!

I started with this...

I changed my Shop banner.

Old Banner:



New Banner:

Look for more new changes soon to come.
Changes not only to the look of my blog and Shop,
but more new fun Stuff in celebration!

The Dream Sling

Here it is...

The Dream Sling

I'm so excited to add this new ring sling to my shop!

I searched high and low and did a ton of research to prefect this design.

   

The sling is made of a single layer of fabric so that it is easy to use and very breathable for baby. Want a cordinating fabric on the inside? Just ask!

Tail can be worn down or tucked around your back and under baby.

The Dream Sling is great for babies and toddlers from 6lbs. to 35lbs. There are many different ways to wear it so that baby will never get board! (Baby pictured is five months old).

The gather along the back makes this sling fit right every time! Never will all the fabric bunch together or will you be messing around trying to get it to lay flat across your back. Just a great fit everytime.

Don't know how to use a ring sling? I'll send you a link to a wonderful site with all the do's and dont's after purchase and before your sling is shipped.

You can find this one in my shop today and look for more on Monday. There is only one other sling made with this fabric, it's mine. ;) The one pictured it made of an Amy Butler fabric that is now out of print. So if this is the one you want snatch consider this fair warning that it is the only one you will be able to get.

So...what do you think?

P.S. Thanks to Amanda and Leila for being such great models!!

Accomplishment,

I'm sure you know the feeling.

You DO IT!! You actually reach it!

So here it is.

All of it.

 And it's on its way to Swiss Days in less than two weeks!

Burpies

Baby Shoes (yep, these are some newbies)

Changing sets

Running out of light. We had to resort to using the flash.

"The Crew"

Thanks for your help guys. We really had to do this one fast. I guess it's true the days are getting shorter. I was in denial for a while.

And thank goodness Grandpa's still have use clothespins. I forgot mine and had to borrow some of Grandpa's!

Sweet Little Bag

I've had this custom order since about a week before

I found out I was pregnant!

So yeah, sickness was not my friend with this one. Thank you so much J for being so great to work around my sick slowness.

J wanted a bag made out of a fabric that ment a lot to her. She sent me the nursing cover that she used for both of her children and asked me to make a little library bag for her and her kids to enjoy.

I used EVERY scrap of fabric I could get out of that little nursing cover and here is the end result.

Thanks again J! You are such a joy and so patient to work with. I hope this bag brings you many years more of great memories with your children.

The Swiss Days Bag Crew

These are just a few of the bags that will be going to

Swiss Days!!

So do you have a favorite yet?

I can't wait to show it all to you.

It's a...

The verdict is in!

We are having a

GIRL!!!

My two little boys were right. They never once wavered on the fact that our little baby was a "guhr". In fact we could never get them to say boy at all!!

And now for the winner. First of all let me tell you

that this winner did indead guess right.

Brady picked the number again, #17

Congratulations:

Capps' Family!!

Thanks everyone for your guesses! It was so much fun to read them and see what you all thought.

20 weeks and a GIVE-A-WAY

Ok, 20 weeks tomorrow.

You know what that means?

On Thurdsay we get to find out the sex of our little baby!

I just can't keep the excitment all to myself.

In an attempt to make everyone else as excited as I am, or close to it, I'm going to have a give-a-way!!!

This one will be easy!

All you have to do is comment and let me know what you think I'm having.

On Thursday, when I get home from the Dr. I'll post the winner as well as the actual sex of the baby!! Are you excited now?

What will you win?

A $20.00 gift certificate!!

What is a gift certificate if you can't pick exactly what you want? I'll help you there too. Even though I am not doing any custom orders right now I will for you and you alone do a custom order. So go ahead and pick whatever you would like.

**BONUS** If the winner actually happens to guess right there will be an extra little something in your package!

So there you go!! Enter away!

The Sophie Baby Shoe

Sweet baby Shopie was born

On June 4, 2010.

I can't wait for our trip to Arizona to meet her.

So in honor of Baby Sophie...

I've been hiding something

Hello all you faithful readers!

(I'm holding out hope you didn't give up on me.)

As you may have noticed I've been out of the loop for

a while. I do have a good reason for being off my game.

(read the shirts)

Yep, We're having another baby!

(Just one this time.)

We are so excited!

I have been quite sick with this little one. Thus, the lack

of...well anything really.

I'm into the second trimester now so I'm hoping to be up to par

soon. I will still not be taking any custom orders for a while

but, I will be keeping you posted on what new things

I'm creating.

So hang in there, I have a few new things I'm dying to show you!
