I love weekends!

Especially when they are sunny! Kade starts swim lessons today. This will be his first time going in the water without Jer or me. I am just hoping that he actually WILL go in the water!

Look what I found last night- it's my Green Dino on the front page of the gift guides! Woohoo, thanks Etsy! :)


Hey, check out -->this!<--
Tami from So Anyway... did a feature and a little interview on my shop! It turned out great, and she is so nice and has a really fun blog!

I also just introduced three new Bunnies and one Elephant into the shop, here are a few pictures!


I'm going to try to find something fun to do this afternoon... maybe hiking at Wallace Falls, or a picnic at the park? We've got to take advantage of this nice weather while it lasts!

Girly girly

Last week I had a customer buy all three of the sock monkeys in my shop! They are all going to be for baby girls, so I made a few changes and additions to girly them up. For the striped monkey, I made a very soft plush minky scarf, and a sweet little bow is sewn securely on her head.


Maybe you remember this winter sock monkey:


She is now prettied up with a french beret and matching scarf, pink with green polkadots! Very fashionable!


This weekend I was putting together some baby shower gifts for a few friends of mine (OK... I know about 5 new babies and 4 pregnant women... almost all the girls I know are pregnant or have just had a baby!). I went shopping at Fred Meyers to find something to go along with my Green Dino toy. Oshkosh makes the *PERFECT* design... it looks so much like my dino you'd think I designed it after the shirt! Even the colors match!


So, I snatched a few up, and am very excited to give these away! :)

Hello and Goodbye

...to this little elephant! I didn't even get a chance to post pictures here before it sold. So here is a picture... I'm going to make another one like it, plus a bunch more, if I have time!


Here's a custom order I finished up. This special all red Dino is for a vision impaired baby girl! The solid bright red color will help strengthen her tracking muscles in her eyes. This Dino even includes a jingle bell hidden inside!


A new sock creature is for sale in my shop now! I just love this turtle, he's got the sweetest smile :)


Kade and I went on a field trip with his class this morning, to the Imagine Children's Museum. It was so much fun! This was the first time we've been up to the rooftop exhibits, because usually it's raining whenever we go. This gigantic yellow slide was Kade's favorite part of the whole trip:


I had no idea when I chose an Albert Einstein shirt for Kade to wear this morning that we would actually be stopping by his house! What a coincidence!


I'm off now to work on some more custom orders, woohoo!! :)
