Something for Karis

Much like the old saying goes, that the cobbler's children have no shoes...the same has unfortunately been true for my little Karis. I have not really made her much of anything. I did, however, make a few burp cloths in the last few weeks, since we didn't have any.

I am so in love with this font too. (You can tell because I used it so much.) I also just love to see her name written out. :)
I also went ahead and added a little something extra to a couple of bibs. I will be doing a lot more of this, but we won't really need these at first.
That's it for my little girl for now. Oh, I did remember that I stitched her name out on a onesie for the hospital, but I'll wait and show you that when she's wearing it. :)

Claire

Recently I was asked to take some plain bibs and make them cute for little Claire. I did a mix of monograms and names...and had fun with it. So, here you go...(oh and by the way, some of these are really poor quality pictures, my apologies)

My little birdie is back again. It's been a while since I've used her, but I love her every single time. I did this in the same lavender seersucker and avocado green that I used on Addyson's birthday dress. I'm loving those colors together right now.
She asked specifically for one bib to be in red. I went back and forth with what to do on this one, then settled on just stitching and not adding a fabric for the applique. I knew she wanted it to match a few things specifically and was afraid some of the other colors in the fabrics might throw that off. I like the monogram in the frame just stitched out.

This picture is by far the worst, but it's the best I got....2 shades of pink.

It's been a big month for bibs...more to come soon.

Bibs, Bibs, Bibs

I got a big order from one of my regular customers, and I had so much fun with it. I had very few limitations with this order. There were 6 bibs total, 5 of them for boys and 1 girl. I had all their names but one...and color choices for the girl. So, here's what I came up, something different for everyone.
Charles got 2, so we'll start with him. First is a little steamboat.
Next is a new font I got from Lynnie Pinnie. I'm calling it my sky-writer...and I think it's pretty cute. What do you think? You'll see it again soon on another post.
Joel got another new font I got from Lynnie Pinnie...it's a cute caterpillar with a letter in each dot. I like this font, but I'll start using more plain or solid color fabrics for the spots, as it is such a small applique, it can easily distract from the letters in the name. Either way I still like it.

Knox...what a cute name! Like I said, I don't anything about this babies or moms...so I was just picking things. I figured if your name is Knox, then tractors have to be ok, right? Honestly, there's no rational there...but I still think it's cute. (The way that part of the bib is folded under it looks off-center, but I promise...it's not). :)

Now for sweet Savannah. I was told that Savannah wants pink, brown, and ivory. So, I gave them pink, brown, and ivory. I love this frame...I plan to use it a lot. Cute, no?

My last little boy doesn't have a name yet. The only thing I was told is that his mom is a pilot for UPS...so I took that and ran with it. It's brown corduroy...and I did my best to recreate the UPS symbol. Not too shabby. Actually, I really love this bib...it might be my favorite from the group.

So there's my bib order. Likes? Dislikes?

One Last Glimpse of the Show

I was about to write another post and realized I had some pictures from my craft fair, so that I can show you what my table looked like. (This was during the camera debacle, so we just got a few). This is what my table looked like, to the left of this I had my clothes rack with all the onesies and shirts hanging...and a couple more hooded towels.Just another glimpse at some bibs and burp cloths.

This is my pirate hooded towel hanging on the end of the clothes rack. This one went pretty quickly. :)

Some of the kitchen towels...more hooded towels...and a purse among other things.
The board of hair clips.
Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of everything...but that's a good look. So that'll probably be it for craft show posts.
