Camera-less

So, my trusty digital camera and I have broken up :( He left me after a good 3 years together... we did everything together and we sure had some good times. Of course, as in any brake up, it happened at the most inopportune time... on our yearly family vacation this summer. I've tried and tried to get us back together but it looks like we're split for good. In this in between time until I find another good match, I am forced to use my digital video camera which takes amazing video footage but terrible photos... hence this photo of a new quilt in my shop. It does seem to capture the cute quilting but does not do well with colors or clarity. This little quilt is amazingly gorgeous but you'd never know that from this picture. The daisy eyelet white is super bright and clean and the lavender is so lucious... which you miss too. This is so not my style of photos :( Well, off to find a new camera! Wish me luck!

For the Little Princes out there

Well, this adorable baby boy quilt was just one quilt that was supposed to be for a school's charity silet auction. Sadly, they had to cancel their charity event wich leaves 3 gorgeous quilts available in my shop! This one is just one of my favorites for a little boy. As a mother of a 2 year old little boy, I've noticed that etsy's baby items are much more geared towards little girls. I have to admit that I'm guilty of that as well... it's fun to make things for girls with all the color options and "girly" fabrics out there, it's so hard to resist! Not to mention that most of my sales have been for girl blankets. I love this classic blue and brown combo though... so European to me. take a look at it in my shop and you'll also notice the other new additions as well that were ment for the auction. I've also included a gorgeous quilted throw for all you mamas too! The Bella Baby quilt above and my mama size throw in harmony flowers are the start to a new line of "cuddle plush" quilts and blankets. I've discovered an amazingly soft backing fabric that I'm so excited about! Check it out and take advantage of some amazing quilts!

Doesn't this just make you want to smile?

I have the happiest baby in the world, she can always put a smile on my face!  What a little cutie!

Construction is underway!

Work on my newest project is in full force!  I'm working on a twin size baby clothes memory blanket for a wonderful customer's daughter...and I just received the box o' clothes in the mail the other day.  Isn't it funny how getting a package delivered makes you feel like a kid opening a Christmas present?  I love it!  This is going to be a huge project and extremely time consuming since each piece needs to be cut and backed individually for the ultimate durability and overall "prettyness."  The end result is amazing though and it's so fun to piece together a mother's memories of her little girl.  I like to think that one day this mom will sit with her little girl on her lap and tell her about the fond memories that each square represents and one day maybe this little girl will pass her heirloom quilt down to her daughter.  Ahhhh, I guess I'm a romantic!  Check out my shop for the memory quilt that I made my son!  Adorable stuff!

My "little loves"...

These are my two "little loves"...my sweet babies!  Logan and Olivia are such blessings to our lives and they are the reason I get up at 4:00am to work a full time job and own my own online baby boutique, Petit Amour that I run out of my home.  So much can be accomplished with just a table, a sewing machine and lots and lots of love!  I'm such a blessed lady!
