As some of you probably know I love entering competitions at the State Fair! I have been entering since I was little and it's so fun and very special to me! So here are the things I entered this year...as well as chocolate chip cookies. :)

 I love all the coordinating fabrics and the big bow at the back of the apron!

Cute Nursing Cover

I made this nursing cover for my sister who just had a baby girl! She picked this fabric for the baby's nursery and sent me some so I could make her nursing cover to match! Isn't this fabric so cute!?

 She LOVES pockets so I had to add one!

I used this great tutorial.

New items...

These cute new items are now available in my shop! They are the perfect gift for a new mom to be!

Baby girl Taggie Blankets

It was so much fun to make some girl themed taggie blankets! I have been making a lot of taggies lately and they have been mostly blue with sports and animal ribbons which have turned out so cute but I was ready for some pink, purple, butterflies, flip flops and of course some adorable monkeys! :)

Personalized baby gift

I made this taggie blanket for a friend who just had her 6 little boy! I love to give personalized gifts especially when thay have plenty of baby essentials. It's just that extra touch to show them how much they are loved and thought of.

Personalized Onesies

I love how personalizing onesies makes them so special!

I hadn't stitched out this boat before and it was so fun to see how well it turned out!

                                 The whale is so cute and is one of my best selling onesies. :)

Monogrammed little bag and key fob set

I am thrilled with how this set turned out! 

I love the pink chevron and how the kelly green letters make it pop!

The key fob is perfect to help me keep track of my keys and the little bag can hold my phone 

and has inside pockets for my credit cards.

New Custom Taggie Blankets

One of my most sweet and faithful customers orders these taggie blankets

 again and again for the babies in her life. 

I always love to see what new themes or colors she wants to try 

and what ribbons will complement the fabrics beautifully.

Trendy Elastic Hair Ties

These super cute hair ties are now available in my shop!

I used this great tutorial.

Personalized Towels

I LOVE how these embroidered and appliqued towels turned out! 

They are the perfect gifts for Christmas, birthdays... the possibilities are endless. 

New Custom Projects

Here is a mix of some custom projects I have been making lately. 

I especially loved the colors on the Josie burp cloth!

Corn Hole bags

I had a friend ask me if I could make a set of corn hole bags to go with a board they were making. I was excited to try this new project and had fun researching the official weight and sizes they were supposed to be. I used this great tutorial and am so happy with how they turned out.

Fun new burp cloth and pacifier straps sets

I made these cute sets for one of my sisters to give as baby shower gifts! It was so fun to work together to pick the perfect ribbon combinations for these new sweet babies!   

Due in...Shirts for my sisters

One of my sisters saw this super cute shirt and thought we could make some. She bought two shirts. I had a friend help me cut out stencils with her Silhouette and then I hand painted them, let them dry 

and then heat seal them in the dryer on high for 15 minutes. 

I am so glad they love them and they look so cute wearing them! 

 I thought  the baby feet would look so cute on a onesie, too!

Silent Auction Basket

I had so much fun making this basket to donate to Sycamore Creek 

Elementary School's carnival for their silent auction on May 17th. They asked me to make a gender neutral basket to reach the biggest audience. I thought owls would be perfect! I went with brown as the main color and light green, yellow and bright green as the accent colors. I love how it turned out! One of my favorite things is to pick a theme and then design a whole coordinating set around that theme! The set included a changing pad, embroidered onesie and burp cloth, key fob and cute owl earrings.
