The Tooth Fairy Revisted...

A million years ago, I made some tooth fairy pillows for my friends three little girls. Since then, she has had another little princess...I DID mention it was a million years ago...

In any case, another pillow was needed, and QUICK, before that first tooth is lost!

Nevermore!

My favorite poem becomes an embroidery design...and makes a great addition to the quilted Kindle cover I made.

Pyramid Case

I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time now...finally with the new machine, it can handle the task! A fun little pyramid zipper bag for...whatever! Coins, extra SD cards, baby's binky...I am using this one for my Bluetooth earbuds. It has a key ring to attach it right to car keys or tablet case. I am going to make a larger one to hold all my USB sticks.

I-Spy With My Little Eye...

Handmade I-Spy bags for your inquisitive child! Perfect for travel and those other times when they need a quiet activity that stimulates their mind, improves dexterity, and keeps them occupied and entertained. The car, plane, church, Dr office, and grocery store are great times for an I-Spy bag. They also make a unique birthday gift!

Bags are constructed of quality fabrics for durability, and all seams are double stitched for safety.  Each bag contains at least 32 different I-Spy items for your child to try to find and a hang tag letting you and your child know what items to look for. The carry loop allows you to use a carabiner or other fastener of your choice to attach to a backpack or travel bag.

I can make custom bags (fabric and items) around a theme, sports, animals, princess, etc. Bags can also be customized with the name of your child included for them to find in the bag for a small fee. I can also embroider their name or initials. Just let me know if you would like a custom bag.

I-Spy bags are intended for children ages 5 and up as they have small parts.

Getting Crafty...again!

I've got myself another Bernina...oh happy, happy day! So, that said, I am slowly going to be sewing, embroidering, crafting, and offering some items on Etsy, so check the right sidebar for the latest goodies!

Knotwork Tree of Life

I had forgotten how much I really love making fitted diapers until Jenni from Lil Bees asked me to make her another Minkee fitted for her newest little man. She picked the celtic knotwork tree of life as the embroidery design, and I put it on to aqua gelato Minkee. It really is soft, squishy goodness that nothing else can match!

Open for Holiday Customs!

Our move to Arizona went well and without major incident...I had been very nervous that our old van wouldn't make the trip hauling a medium sized Uhaul trailer...and even though the rear tires sank into the wheel wells (I am blaming it on the fabric, and not my motorcycle...lol), we managed fine and in great time to boot!

The new place we are renting is very nice and a real bargain for the area we are in. The kids have a castle in back to play in, complete with tower and dungeon. The roads have lots of open space for speed, and twisties for the Ninja, and in the winter time when we get hit with 15 feet of snow, there are miles and miles of open space for sledding and skiing. Sunset Crater is practically out our front door as is Mt Humphreys and Snowbowl. We are excited!

I need to make my boys some knightly tunics!

 Sunset Crater

I am going to be able to open for customs sooner than I had thought, so if you have something you are wanting to have made for the holidays, now is the time! I haven't found an outside job yet, but it is going to be a necessity for awhile until our house in Idaho is sold (a mortgage, and a rent that is double the mortgage...YIKES!)...once I do have a job, my sewing time may become limited. I hope not, but that is what may end up happening!

See you in November!

Hello everyone! I have closed my YDME and customs lists until after my move. I think I should be settled in and ready to re-open for your orders by the first week of November. Thanks for your understanding. :)

Facebook Fan Giveaway #2

Congratulations to Abbie Neary on her win!

Abbie wins her choice of an embroidered pocket diaper or cover! Thanks to my FB fans for playing...and don't forget that I am having a BIG giveaway here on my blog when I reach 200 followers!

Kelly's Covers

Kelly purchased a Sponge Bob fleece cover from me not too long ago and wanted some more fleece covers with a slightly longer rise...so, I added an inch to the rise and made these two diaper covers for her little guy today. I will get them out in tomorrows mail for you Kelly!
