Just an FYI...
While I am doing some catch up I am post dating the posts to the date they occurred...so there may be a few that are farther back than you think, that you might have missed. I have to do it this way so I keep the events in order. Thanks!

I've MADE

Here are some more things I have been working on.

I have been making nursing covers for a while now (almost a year.) I really enjoy making them. I do sell them, but it is really just on a want/need basis right now. I am planning to open an Etsy shop but, for now...if this seems like something you might want they are really affordable comparatively...(I only charge $30.00.) Just give me a call or send me an email and I will be happy to put one together for you! (fabric does vary as fabric lines and seasons change. So...with that said, I am willing to make custom ones with fabric of your choosing!)
( I have made lots of them but these are the first I have thought to take pictures of before they were out of my hands!)
This one I made for my friend who is having a baby boy in the next couple of
days. She chose the fabric and I put it together for her. THE DIFFERENCE
Everyone is making nursing covers these days...so what makes mine so special you ask???
well,
my nursing covers have a special detail that you will not find on most nursing covers. It has a clasp that goes around your back to hold the cover securely in place while you nurse your squirmy little one. Believe me, you'll LOVE this! No more tucking the cover under your arms and fighting to keep your dignity! It has a small pocket to hold a pacifier or nursing pads and is reversible! The peekaboo spot isn't boning either (easier to store if you ask me.) It is foldable but also stiff enough for you to still have a space for you to see your little one.
(I am in the process of finding out how to make a pattern for this particular style of nursing cover that has my added details to it and possibly a patent/copyright for it as well. The original was not my idea [obviously, they are everywhere] but the added details are. Please be careful and mindful if you decide to try and recreate these covers.)I just found a way to make really cute tags too! I love how they turned out! The reverse side has the washing instructions on it! Very fun!
(if you want a *how to* on the tags just let me know and I will put one together)
Super easy, very cute, and washable too!










LOVE
these "I spy" bags.
I made this one for my nephew Peter (shhhhh...don't tell him, I haven't sent it to him yet) and I made the pear for Kallie. They turned out so great!
They are probably a little young for them now but they were super easy and very fun to make! I need to get some pinking shears for the edges I decided. They are freying more than I wanted them too. But I don't have any yet...so this will have to do. I still love how they turned out! I love the smaller tag detail on these too.
(As you can tell I am having a blast with these tags and jsut want to make stuff so that I can use them!)

Have I told you yet that you are AMAZING?! I love that skirt you made for Kallie (a few posts ago). Could I pretty please pay you to make one for Ally?! :)

Love the I Spy bags. Carson has one and it just reminded me to get it out.

I actually wished for a moment that I was in the nursing phase of my life. Those are fabulous, but then you are fabulous so I wouldn't expect anything different.

All your stuff is so gorgeous, I love your taste in fabrics. And I can personally vouch for the quality of the product, seeing them in person and all :) It's so fun watching friends have so much fun with the same stuff I have fun with.

I love my nursing cover! The fabric is gorgeous, and I love the clasp to go around my back. I was looking forward to having my baby just so I could use it! (Well, I was looking forward to having her anyway, but the nursing cover was a definite plus!)

Hi! Kallie is cute, as ALWAYS! May I request a tute on how to make those 'i spy' bags? I think those would be awesome for church or Dr visits! Oh and has anyone asked for the how-to on the tags? If not, I am asking. :) :)
