Boody Babies Bedding

Boody Babies Bedding is officially open! After several custom requests for crib bedding, I decided I really enjoy making it. However, I did so few and far between that potential customers would have to search long and hard, sifting through page after page of previous sales for examples of my bedding work. So I decided to open up a second shop dedicated solely to crib and nursery bedding and also toddler bedding. I'm really excited and a little nervous, too! Wish me luck and if you know anyone in need of nursery or toddler bedding, send them my way :0)!

At Long Last...

FINALLY!!!! I finally made myself set aside time to make my little guy's new bedding. It features Alexander Henry's Surfin' Pareo in sand and brown Minky and the skirt is a brown bamboo/linen blend. Without further ado....

Busy, Busy...again

This month has been CRAZY busy!!! I did another craft show...this one was a French Market...and had such a great time and such a great response, that I am going back again in the fall!!! You can check out pictures of the event here: http://3frenchhensmarket.blogspot.com/2009/06/3-french-hens-market-june-27-2009.html
In all the excitement (and stress) of getting ready I forgot to bring my own camera, though.

I completed another crib set and it turned out soooo cute! I can't wait to do another one.




I also made this little t-shirt for a customer from the market...and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Next up on the agenda is another partical crib set, a diaper bag with changing mat, and an ottoman cover. Plus, somewhere I need to squeeze in a summer top I wanted to make for myself (although that will probably not get done until next summer:-) and my Baby Boy's toddler bedding.

It's Done

All I can say is....it's done!  I am so pleased with the way it came out and so saddened that I will probably not get to do another one.  Because unless the CPSIA is amended within the next couple weeks, I will not be able to continue with the baby items.

I'm So Excited.....

OK, so maybe I am a little pathetic for being sooo excited over a sewing project, but....I've been dying for months to do a crib set, but because of the upfront fabric cost, I haven't done one to list and because I haven't made one, I have been unsuccessful in my bids to get a custom order since I don't have any photos. So, I had a customer inquire about a black and white blanket I have listed in my shop (the Elegance Minky Blanket);  she was wondering if it was crib sized and if I had any other pieces as she was trying to assemble a black and white-themed nursery.  I offered to make that blanket crib sized along with the matching pieces (crib skirt and bumpers and personalized pillow).  After two very busy, interrupted days of cutting and laying out for all the pieces, I was able to finish the pillow today and I am absolutely THRILLED!  I can't wait to get it all together and put it in my crib to see how it looks!  I just thought I would share a preview with you all!
