Sneak Peek: Latest Robblins Piece


Here is a sneak peek of my latest project with block printed Robblins!!!  I printed and cut them yesterday, as well as attached them to a quilt top.  All I have to do is add the back side and this one of a kind lap quilt will be up for sale in the shop!  I plan on getting the fabric in over the weekend, so hopefully it will be ready by early to mid of next week.  I can’t wait to share the final piece (smile).  Enjoy your Friday and I’ll see you back here on Sunday.

sweet changes for Chickiedee…

So, due to a large number of requests, I’m taking Chickiedee to the next level.  It will no longer be Chickiedee | Modern Apparel for Babies.  It will soon be Chickiedee | Handmade.  I have so many wonderful new products that I’m creating to add to the shop, so stay tuned.  Many of them are headbands and other accessories that I just know you’ll love.

Don’t worry though, I’ll still have all of your favorite baby gear… that’s not going away.  The new products will be in the shop this summer.  Thank you so much for your continued support, I really couldn’t do it without you!!

Thanks Kate!

Oh geez, am I one lucky girl! As you already know, I joined The Crafty Peep Swap and received my craft today!!!  I was paired up with Kate from Scientific Culture, and I think it was a perfect match.  We chatted back and forth a bit before creating the perfect items, so that we could get to know each other better.  We found out that we have tons in common, and now I’ve gained a new pen-pal.  This is what I received from her… super cute, right!  If you love these as much as I do, check out her Etsy shop here.

the right package

Packaging is so important.  It really does more than just contain whatever is inside, it showcases it and grabs your attention so that you want to open it and see what’s inside.  Here is a great example of good packaging that I found here.
