Lucy's Cottage

I'm so excited to tell you all about my mom's new etsy shop, Lucy's Cottage!

She is making the cutest and softest fleece baby and toddler blankets you have ever seen!  They are sewn with love and then hand appliquéd and embroidered.  And they are totally customizable per your specifications...which is even better!  They make great baby shower gifts(yes I have given a few out) or they are perfect for decorating your own baby's room!

She lists the fabric colors she has to offer and there are a variety of adorable hand appliquéd animals you can choose from to decorate your blanket.  Here are a couple of pictures of my favorites:

She is also making lovable plush stuffed animals!  Also customizable in fleece color and there are no small parts, so they are baby safe.  Here's a picture of my favorite stuffed animal:

If you have some time, please check out her new store and pass on the word to your friends!  And keep her items in mind for the next baby shower you get invited to, people love hand made gifts!

Guest Book Tree for a Birthday

This is a guest book fingerprint tree that I created for my Grandmother's birthday party.  I normally make them as wedding guest books, but this turned out great for the birthday party....it could also be used for anniversary parties, baby showers and family reunions!  The possibilities are endless when it comes to guest book trees!

If you are looking for one for your event, check out my listing on etsy and just contact me for the event you'd like your tree customized for!

Oh Boy, Part II

Here's a few pictures from the baby shower we hosted!  It was a really fun night!

Lucky Monkey

I collaborated with my mom on a baby shower gift for our friends that are having a sweet baby boy soon.  My mom makes these really cute baby blankets with different animals on them, we had her make a monkey for this gift.  Once she was done, I created a custom monkey print to go along with the blanket.  I think it turned out really cute and I think we may start selling them as a set!

Oh Boy!

I'm getting excited to host a couples baby shower for some friends of ours, the McGinn's.  I just finished up the invitations today and I think they are super cute!  I'm going to have a loose mustache theme, since they are having a little man.
Here's my invite:

And I'm going to make some tissue paper poms to hang from the chandelier in our dining room:

I will have some cool straws with a little flag attached, reading "It's a Boy!"  I'm also going to make some chocolate mustache lollipops like the ones below!  

I'm obviously pretty excited....I'll post lots of pictures when I have everything done!
