Jungle Baby Blanket Set

My Jungle Baby Minkee Baby Blanket, Burpbee, and Bodysuit Set has been added to my store. I think it is really cute! The blanket has the most adorable baby jungle animals fabric - elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and ostriches - sewn together with the softest yellow dot minkee and jumbo brown rick rack around the edges. The burp cloth has the same jungle fabric with a yellow terry cloth to absorb all those spills. The matching bodysuit has an elephant applique on the front. I just love it. Let me know what you think!

My Ft. Lauderdale Vacation

Guess what??!! Both of my items that were listed in the treasuries I wrote about in my last blog have sold!!! I am so excited and proud of myself. Thank you so much to everyone who loves me!!!

So I finally went on vacation -- to Ft Lauderdale, FL. I think it feels strange going on "vacation" to Fort Lauderdale, considering I lived there for almost 30 years. It's been about 8 years since I moved away, but it was great being able to spend some time there again. I love the weather, the beaches, the restaurants.... My daughter, Tracy, and her family stayed at a beautiful resort called the Pelican Grand Beach Resort. They had a lazy river, a walk in pool, and it was on the beach. Amazing. They were there on a family vacation, but I stayed with my sister, Kelly and her husband Dale. We met up for Angi's (my daughter-in-law) baby shower. She and my son, Rob, are due at the end of October. I can hardly wait. Of course I went overboard on their gifts for the shower (even after we already got them their travel system), and among those gifts were some handmade ones (of course!). I made the cutest surfboard set, a jungle set, and one with really cute sea animals on it created by Wyland. Since I made chocolate favors for the shower, had to work and pack, I totally forgot to take pictures of all of these cute things I made. I can't believe it! I would have loved to show you. Hopefully I will remember to take some next time I get down there, which probably won't be until October.

Meanwhile, I am making some new items for my store. I have to freshen it up a bit since I seem to be so popular lately! Hopefully my good stroke will last! Also, keep in tune for some holiday items soon to come!!

Here are some pictures of my vacation. Enjoy!

Etsy Treasuries

I've been on Etsy for some time now, but I've never been in a treasury. Now over the last couple of weeks I made it into not one, but two, treasuries! Isn't that crazy??!! I am so excited - maybe I'll even make the front page. Here are the items, with their links, that made it into the treasuries. And don't forget to check out everyone else's stuff. They are all really cute!!

Oh My Darlin'

I made the most darling outfit for my granddaughter, Allie. She is now 2 1/2 - I can't believe how big she is now. She looks so beautiful in this outfit that I had to share it with you!! I loved the yoyo flower on the top so much that I added one on to the headband that I made to go with the outfit. Maybe I should make a matching outfit for her doll too??!!






Hope you like it!

Beach Towels

My new beach towels are now available!! I think that they are the cutest things ever! The ones I've made so far are for my grandchildren. The towels I use are actually bath sheets, which are much bigger than regular bath towels. They are super soft and comfy, and perfect for babies, children, teenagers and adults to use by the pool, the beach or even a lake. The designs I have made so far are flip flops and sea life, but there are endless possibilities!! If there is something different you would like, convo me on etsy or email me and we can create a one of a kind, unique towel for you. Wouldn't you love to have the BEST towel at your next pool party??!!

BurpBee and Onesie Sets Now Available

I've finally had a chance to add my new BurpBees to my Etsy Shop. I'm sorry it took so long, but I think you'll love them as much as I do!! My burp cloths are made with beautiful fabric, matching terrycloth, and trimmed with rick rack. I love the shape because they are really long - which makes it easy to catch all the "spills" - and they are thinner in the middle - which is perfect for fitting over your shoulder. These BurpBees have a coordinating onesie with an applique on the front in the same fabric. They are a perfect set for your own baby or a wonderfully unique shower gift. I only have a couple available in my shop right now, but I am in the process of adding more. Soon I will be adding sets of 3 burp cloths and also beach towels! I am so excited because they are sooo cute!!!

Visit with Christy's Family

My daughter Tracy's family and I drove to Northern Georgia 2 weeks ago for my granddaughter Haley's 5th grade graduation. We left REALLY early so that my 3 grandchildren - Aden, Allie and Alex - coming with us would sleep. That worked for about the first 4 hours! The rest of the drive really wasn't as bad as I expected it - thank goodness for DVD players!!! My daughter Christy's family moved to a beautiful country home in the very beginning of the Smoky Mountains. Us Floridians weren't used to driving around on curvy mountain roads! It was fun and absolutely beautiful. Haley's graduation was very nice. I think she was glad to get out of elementary school and join her sister Kasie in middle school. We also had birthday party for Christy's youngest step child, Emma, who turned 8. We had a huge bonfire and a hayride. It was great!! The rest of our trip was wonderful. I don't get to spend a lot of time with all of my family together, although my son, Rob and his wife Angi, weren't with us. They were too busy on vacation in Hawaii!! Maybe next time we'll ALL be together.


Have a BEEutiful Day!!
