Feelin the Love!

So lately I have been extremely blessed from all of your love!

An awesome lady that I just happened to stumble upon one day recently did a review on one of my hooded towels and she is currently hosting a giveaway for a hooded towel of your own!  (check out the giveaway here and her blog as well!)  The Funny Postpartum Lady is a hilarious, down to earth kinda gal that shoots it to you straight!  She provides a place for others to express concerns, compliments, and tips to get through your day as a momma!

I have also hit 500 fans (or likes, sorry I'm still a little old school on my page).  So I am putting together a drawing for a $25 credit to the boutique!  I have also been busy putting together the next giveaway at 750(Starts May 1st)!!  Here is the link for that drawing! You have to like the page and you can also follow my Twitter and share the tweet to earn more chances!

Camo Hooded Towel

I currently have a Camo Hooded Towel in inventory that can be purchased today and custom monogrammed with the future owner's name!!!  It looks just like this one but without the name!!

Back into the groove...hopefully

It has been a very blessed last couple of weeks!!  I have gotten several orders in the last couple of weeks, which I am very thankful for!  In the last couple of months I have not been pushing the Boutique as I should be. But now that I am getting back into the groove of things I'm getting used to spending some daily-quality time with my machine!  I've also got to get back to couponing too!!

In the last 2 days I have made 12 Cool 'em Totes and worked on a couple of hooded towels.  I have the To-Do List started and I have started marking things off!!  Now lets hope that the list keeps growing!!

Meanwhile, I am mainly getting use to to being a SAHM, but this time its to a 4 1/2 year old, a 3 yr old and a newborn!  The last time I stayed at home (no school or work at all) was when Munchkin #1 was about 8 months until Munchkin #2 was 3 months old!  It is definitely quite different than I remember but so far so good! 

Well until later Peeps!

Getting Ready for Tinslee

Wow I cannot believe that this is the first time that I have been on a computer this week!  This past week went by soo fast and we have had so much going on just between normal activities and getting ready for Tinslee to get here next Tuesday.  With the last 7 days before we go into the hospital, I have been sewing, cleaning, and organizing or can you just say NESTING!!!  But around here it is a never ending ordeal when there are 2 other little girls and a Hubby to look after and take care of!  But we are just about ready for our new bundle of joy to get here!!

On Wed. afternoon the girls & I headed up to Canyon to my grandma's to do some sewing and go eat at my favorite place (Feldman's).  She made a new cover for our infant car seat & it turned out super cute!  Then she showed me her new toy that she got last week (sewing/embroidry machine) and I am so jealous...I tried taking it for the weekend. On Thursday morning we played with the new toy and figured out some things on it while we making a blanket.  Then we headed home at nap time and I have been cleaning and sewing ever since.  Yesterday I got a padded handle cover made for the carrier, a couple of burp clothes, started a strip quilt, and started another hooded towel!  It has been an extremely BUSY week...so here are the pics that I have so far...ENJOY!

Boppy Pillow cover & burp cloth...I have a matching nursing cover too.

 Maybe I will be COMPLETELY ready by the end of this weekend...so wish me luck!

Later Peeps, oh and it just might be another week or 2 before ya hear from me again!!

Maybe, Hopefully I'm Back...

Oh my have I been away for awhile!  I am so sorry!!!  Its been crazy around here (but when isn't it??)  Unfortunately Munchkin #1 was sick the week before last for 6 days!  Then 3 days later M#2 came down with the same viral infection...thankfully she only had it for 3 days instead of 6.  Then I came down with it on Tuesday while I was home with M#2, and let me tell you I haven't ever been sick like that before in my life!!  That fever kicked my butt!  I had already felt bad for my girls and then after I had it, I wanted to cry for what my little girls went through.   Talk about a rough couple of weeks around our house of love!

Now hopefully we are on the road to recovery~ :)  Now we just need to survive this 108 degree weather, wind and drought!    AND summer is about halfway over!!  Soooo here are some pics of some stuff that I have gotten made lately!

Check back to see what is going on around our crazy house of love!

Later Peeps!

Long, Lost Pictures

Okay so I finally remembered my camera today!  And I am so sorry I do not take very good pictures! But these are just a few of the pics that I have because I still need to steal my mom's camera (there are more on her fancier camera & probably better pics too).

Lime green hooded towel with ZEBRA!  I'm always excited to do ANYTHING with Zebra!

Nursing Cover---sorry its side ways...  :(

1st Eye Pillow

My Eye Pillow with its satiny case...

And my 1st Boppy Pillow Cover that I told you about last week...it didn't turn out too bad

And the matching Nursing Cover

And that is some of the things that I have worked on in the last couple of months!  I promise to try to do better about posting pictures as I go and not submit you to several months worth at one time!!!  UGH once again I am so sorry!!  But I will tell you I have a couple of new styles of Hooded Towels coming your way, needless to say this weekend was very successful in shopping with Mrs. G!!!

New To-Do List

Ok thanks to the Hubby (and yes I am putting a majority of the blame on him) I barely got started on my To-Do List from last weekend.  Instead we ended up tearing out the front walkway and entire front porch--it was Monday before my ears quit ringing from 2 days of listening to a jackhammer outside my front door.  However I did make my 1st boppy pillow cover with help from Vanilla Joy and I also made a matching nursing cover for a really great friend's sister-in-law.  I used this pattern that Vanilla Joy supplies on her site and altered it some by not using a zipper and made it close like a pillow sham.  I also got the last batch of my custom orders packed up and shipped out.  It might not have been very productive in the garage/sewing room, but it was an overall productive weekend around our little house!

But now I have another To-Do List (I'm still going to work on the other one too!!)

• master a pattern for the Rachel Ray moppine towels (my mom has been waiting for like 2 months for these, I probably need to make them a priority!)
• create a pattern/design for a boot bag
• make up some more bandana/pillowcase dresses
• make more Cool 'em Totes
• AND of course keep making more Feed Sack Totes!

And these are just a few of the things I would like to work on! Now these are just a few of the projects that I work on in between orders, so I should stay plenty busy!

Until later Peeps...

More Ideas for a Baby Shower Gift Part 2

*(Okay I am so sorry I didn't get this up last week!! It was so crazy around here!)

Here are a couple of popular selling items from my boutique. I always receive rave reviews about how these gifts were such hits because of their uniqueness!

The hooded towels are so great because they can grow with the child (my 4 yr old still uses hers so she can be a burrito). The main body is a regular 30X57 bath towel with a 9 in deep hood attached. They can be customized with the color of the towel, the pattern of ribbon and the monogramming. I have made them to match nurseries, personalities, or collegiate alumni choices, along with many themes. (Check out Facebook page for different ideas!)

Another great gift is the infant carrier blanket. These are made specifically for the infant car seat! It is 20"X20" with the name monogrammed on both the polysatin and the soft & comfy material. I use polysatin (feels like satin) so that it is machine washable. I have made many different combos of ribbons and materials: red & black; pink, green, & brown: pink & brown; green & brown; green & black; primary colors; blue & brown; and blue, green, & brown.

These ideas should be very helpful in giving a unique and very thoughtful gift!!
