I discovered yesterday that I won 2 Itti Bitti diapers like these

I'm so excited to receive some free fluff! Especiallly these, since they weren't on my 'list' of cloth diaper brands that I wanted to try.

You can get free fluff, by using the code 'APRILSHOWERS' at Kelly's Closet with a $69.00 purchase; you can use this code 2xs to receive 2 FREE diapers (of course that's with a seperate order), but with about a $140.00 order, you can easily begin your cloth diaper stash!

Flower Butts!

I saw these Flower butt onesies in a boutique in Tulsa and knew that I had to recreate them! If you're looking for a beautiful newborn portrait outfit, then these are darling! They're also perfect for spring time! A friend had given me this yellow and white stripe onesie, so I decided to add purple flowers on the butt. I love the purple and yellow combination and can't wait for M to wear this!

I created this one for Little Bow Peep's, a new consignment store opening in Jonesboro, Ar!

These do come with a word of caution! First, they should be washed inside out on a gentle cycle or hand washed. They do NOT need to go in the dryer! I also wouldn't put these on a child who runs around like crazy, and wouldn't allow them to wear it for a longer period of time, simply because they are so delicate! As I test one out on M, then I might change my precautions, but for now I'd rather be overly cautious than to end up with an unhappy customer!

I added these to my 'flower shirt' album on facebook, so you can purchase 1 directly from there. They'll be available on white, pink and white stripe, solid pink, or purple and white stripe onesies, and you'll be able to choose your flower choice. Currently, I have yellow and red in stock, but I know I can get many other colors!

The flower butt would also be cute with 3 different color flowers! I think it would also be cute with a bling initial on the front, or with a monogram!

Miss Cottontail

I love, love, love custom orders, and when my friend Trisha, asked if I could make her daughter a bunny rabbit shirt for her Easter party at preschool, I jumped at the chance! For one, it was something that I hadn't made before- my Easter shirts had been pretty simple in the past, and even though I wanted to expand that line this year, time got away from me.

Trisha picked out the design and the fabric, so I can say, I had little say in the design of this shirt! She did a great job, and I know J (her daughter) will be the cutest one at her Easter party this week!

33 weeks

These last few weeks have started to go by slower and slower- is anyone else feeling this way? Maybe it's just because i'm nearing the end, because i'm ready for summer, and because i'm ready to be a family that lives in the same state again! I had a doctor appointment on Monday, and to be honest, it was very uneventful. I think i'm so tired of them by now, that I was happy just to hear the heartbeating. So, I didn't even ask what I was measuring, nor did I ask about the heart rate. The doctor just confirmed that I was still on for the induction around the 23rd of May. At this point, I'm still sleeping pretty well, unless my 3 year old is kicking me in the back or face! Walking is a bit painful, as people have started to point out that I am 'waddling' down the hallway. I'm still craving chocolate, or anything that is really cold, and cereal. And, i've been wanting a fruit smoothie, but i've been too lazy to make one.... maybe tonight? As far as M is concerned, her lungs should be almost fully developed! She should also be able to detect light, and should I shine a flashlight at my belly, she'll likely move away from it.... maybe G and I should try this later? And, she should gain about 1/2 pound per week (meaning I'll be gaining that too) She should weigh close to 4 1/2 pounds, and be about 17.5 inches long. Someone asked me the other day if I was prepared and I just laughed! My list is getting longer and longer and I'm not anywhere prepared. I simply told them that my grandmother would be here in 2 weeks, and that we would worry about it then!

Fabric Headbands

Gretchen is getting to a point of not wanting me to brush her hair every day, and since i'm a single mom at the moment, we often find that we're running out of time to fix her hair during our hectic mornings & getting out the door. I had been wanting to make her a few ribbon wrapped headbands for a while, but it seems as if I can never decide on a color combination. I decided instead, that I would wrap a few headbands in fabric that would match some of her applique' shirts, or solid color shirts as well. I love how they turned out & they were pretty easy to make! The one above is wrapped in a pink fabric that features touches of yellow. Gretchen has a lemonade applique' shirt that this will match, as well as an initial monogrammed shirt that it will match as well. To keep it from slipping, there is a line of grosgrain ribbon placed on the inside.

I had this pink damask fabric that I fell in love with, and even though G doesn't have anything that will match this, she does have tons of pink in her wardrobe! So, I wrapped the headband, placed the grosgrain on the inside, and added this matching fabric rosette on the top!

I listed these on my Facebook page for around $7.00 each. You'll be able to choose your fabric & can even request one to match an applique' shirt....

Perfect for rushed hectic mornings!

We Love LWD!

I try to only share things that we really love and approve of with my readers! These pants are one of them! G wore them to church on Sunday and received tons of compliments! Even elementary age boys complimented her pants on our lunch date! I love their elastic waistband, and the ruffles at the bottom. They'll fit her throughout this summer and into early fall, plus, they'll be great capris next year! If you aren't already a fan of Lolly Wolly Doodle, then you need to look them up on Facebook! LWD runs great specials throughout the day on the most adorable clothing! Smocked dresses, rompers, pants, jumpers, etc. and shipping is always included! With over 33,000 'likes' though, you'll need to be fast to catch her sales! Once you 'like' her page, be sure to check out her "How To LWD" so you can be sure to get the items you're wanting!

Fabric Rosettes

I had a friend over this week, and she showed me how to make these fabric rosettes. I decided to try it today and I'm loving how they've turned out! They can be attached to burpies: Or, they can be attached to a onesie, shirt, or sweater. I'm thinking they'll also look adorable on aligator clips & headbands!

Here's a close up of the first two I made. One is going to be attached to a present for my sister-in-law, the other will stay on the burpie above.

So, what do you think?
