Buzzing With the Booties

I purchased a bootie pattern from a fellow etsian fron England, greenjelly.etsy.com. I have been obsessed with making them and each pair turns out cuter than the last. She warned me they were addictive and they are! I even went on a fabric shopping spree to get more great fabric to use to make them.

Now I am going to make matching bootie and bib sets. The bib pattern is my own design, altered a bit from other bibs in my shop. Here are some of the booties:

I've Been Featured!

I just found out I've been featured by Dawn of Because I Said So! blog fame on her product review site Mamas Like. Her blog about life as a mother of 6 children has attracted a huge following and national media attention. Please scroll down to the Blogs to Visit to click onto her sites...FUN STUFF!

I am on a roll now, having been approved to be a member of etsykids! I am looking forward to meeting new "etsyians" and being a part of this dynamic group.

Happy Birthday!

Well, today is my birthday...but I'm not sharing which year I was born in. Yes, it was that long ago! Going out to lunch with my friends and daughters so that will be nice. I have been working on a design for some Halloween bibs, hope to get those posted soon.
Be sure and check out my shop on etsy.com for updates. Bye,bye!

New Baby Items at Sky Girl Styl

I have been bitten by the sewing bug again, and have been busy making baby blankets, plush toys, headbands and flower barrettes/pins.

Here is my version of a minkie blanket (made with luxurious minkie plush fabric)

My Minkie...sure to become your little one's favorite thing to bring along.

So far I have made two styles: a taggie with ribbon tag around all 4 sides and a "drag" style with 1 ribbon loop for dragging the blanket

I can just see a tussle headed little boy dragging this blanket after him with the ribbon tag. And it's handy for hanging onto the stroller too!

Back to School

The boys started back to school this week and it's time for me to finally figure out this blog thing! I have joined the wonderful, supportive group of etsymoms. So much creativity and the time to do it all with children is amazing. Check out other etsymoms at http://www.etsy.com/ to find great handcrafted items.

Garden Inspiration

Here are a few pictures of my gardens...I can always find inspiration for colors and design out here. From my studio window I look down on the garden with the birdhouse and roses which are just gorgeous right now. Everything is in full bloom, at least until those pesky Japanese beetles show up and destroy everything in sight!
