New in the shop!

So, I finally got my gift certificates finished and listed in my shop! I had been thinking for awhile that I wanted to create these to offer as gifts to new moms or mothers-to-be and I really wanted to get them available in time for Christmas.I really got the kick in the booty when a customer asked about gift certificates for my shop... and now... I have gift certificates for baby clothes memory blankets so the recipient can collect their clothing and then just send them to me themselves and I also have $25, $50 and $100 incriments good for anything in the shop including custom orders. What a fun and unique gift to give for the holidays!

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!

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!
