handmade for hc

My friend, Heather (H.C.) just moved from Huntsville, Alabama to the top of a mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. She saw my recent blog post where I had made a onesie with a bowtie and wanted one for her little guy.

I couldn't decide which houndstooth to use (Alabama football fans) so I made two...


But then I felt as if her daughter might feel a little left out, so she got a shirt, too!


So sorry for the blurry pictures...I was in a hurry to get these to the post office so I only had a quick second to use the old camera phone.

Heather and her family (Hi A.C. We miss you too!) are taking a trip to the beach this weekend (so jealous) and she wanted some cute towels for the kiddos. Here is my first attempt at making beach towels.












Well? What do you think? I think they'll be rockin' them out! Need a personalized beach towel this summer? You know who to call!

cherry-o

I had to share this cute little hat I knitted up last Saturday...don't you just love it?! I'm so in love with the dangling cherries!


Since I'm new to the Chicagoland area and don't really know anyone, I just joined a knitting circle. I'm meeting so many nice people and getting a lot of knitting done!

onesies for baby H

My friend Monisha back in Cincinnati just had a beautiful 

baby boy named Hezekiah.  Of course that gave 

me an excuse to hop on the sewing machine!

I made two onesie sets for him...

The "H" is for both his first and last name...

His daddy is a huge fan of wearing bow ties,
so what would be more appropriate?

I just love the bright colors!  I hope he likes them!

little additions

I've been eyeing the "Little Additions" stamp set ever since it came out in the new catalog last July. I'm always making baby gifts and cards and thought this set would be perfect! Things have been so crazy recently that I've neglected all of my new stamp sets!

Fortunately I had a little bit of time yesterday to put together a baby card...






Looking back I think I needed to add some more pizzazz, but it'll do for now...

another quilt in the making...

I was chained to my craft room all weekend making things for my upcoming events (more information to come soon!).

I finished another quilt top...



It's made from the line of fabric, "It's a Hoot" and the pattern called "Wild Thing". Love!

I custom make baby and lap quilts (I can do pretty much any size, just ask).

it's a shower

A friend of mine has quite a lineup of baby showers, so she asked me to make sets of baby gifts for her...















Sorry for the photo quality...I forgot to take pictures at home and had to take them with my phone while at school.

The onesies, burp cloths, and booties can all be custom made to your liking. These make great shower gifts. I can do themes as well. Hosting a shower? What about my handmade shower invitations with a coordinating onesie set as a gift? I can deliver locally in Cincinnati...or ship anywhere to you!

quilts galore!

So my new addiction is quilting! I have never been formally taught how to quilt...I've just picked up the basics over the years and finally started producing thing other than just in my head! I will be listing these in my Etsy store so let me know if you would like one that I've made or would like me to make one custom for you!

Wait until you see all the beautiful fabrics that will be offered in the new Stampin' Up! catalog! Yummy! I can't wait to get my hands on them and make a quilt out of those!

owl punch onesie baby card

My mom came up with this idea to turn the owl punch

into a onesie!  It's super-easy... just punch out the owl

and trim it down to look like the base of the onesie...

then add sleeves and decorate!
