Big Sister Tee's

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days, I was out of town and attending my baby shower! But I'm back now and excited to reveal the new "Big Sister Tee". You can now order any design that you've seen on onesies, on a toddler t-shirt. This is perfect for any toddler, but especially for older siblings that might be feeling a little left out with the new baby. These can be made for big brother as well, but this one is for sister. I've even added a little ruffle to match baby sister's ruffled bum! To order visit my etsy store.

Toddler Ruffle T-Shirt

Today I completed the toddler t-shirt I started yesterday! It turned out really cute I think. It started out really boxy, so I added cap sleeves, then a ruffle around the neck. As a finishing touch I added a removable fabric corsage. It's very chic for a toddler, but definitely still wearable! I'll be adding it to my etsy store soon, but in the mean time, if you would like to order one just email me or convo me through etsy.

wednesday wednesday

The weather has been so crummy lately, which is okay with me since I have a lot of projects to get done, but it's getting old. As some of you know I'm going to Oklahoma for a few days (and a baby shower!) this weekend. So, I'm trying to get all my orders completed as well as some projects I've been wanting to do before I leave. Today I made a top secret custom order which I can't wait to show you! But you'll have to wait a few weeks until they receive it for me to unveil it. I also am starting some toddler t-shirts. It's been kind of hard for me to find a good toddler shirt, so I'm trying to make due with what I have. If anyone has any recommendations on a brand they've found that fits well, please let me know.
And since I have nothing to show you, I'll leave you with these prints by Old School Stationers I saw on DesignSponge today. I love stationary.

Anchor Onesie

Today I made a new onesie design: the Anchor! It's perfect for the summer. Nautical inspired looks are all around, why should your baby be left out? To order one, just send me a message at my etsy store (on the right hand side there is a tab for "request a custom item" about 1/2 way down, or if you go even further down there's one for "email").

Things I'm Liking

Today has been a VERY lazy day! Everyone said that during the 3rd trimester I'd feel tired, and I'm not sure if it's related to how I feel today, but I have been so sleepy! It's also cold and gray, which I'm sure doesn't help how I feel.

Anyway, since I've been so unmotivated today, I thought I'd just do a post on things I like right now. They are completely random things, so just keep that in mind! Here we go:

1. Mason jars, especially blue ones! And if you add fresh flowers, I like them even more! This picture is from wemetinabar.com


2. Large bags. I love bags, in a variety of sizes, but since we live in NY, I've been really into big ones. And it's not just this bag I love, I'm really into oil cloth fabric. I've been wanting to get some to make several projects, but I haven't gotten to it. This picture is from amybutler.com (I love everything Amy Butler makes!)


3. Bright, cheery fabrics! I love fabric, but I especially like seeing them all together. I'm the same way with flowers. There is just something even better about flowers/fabric when there are several different kinds and colors together. These are from annamaria.com (who I also love!)


4. Metal chairs, I love colored metal chairs. I've always dreamed of having a house with a big backyard complete with a great outdoor table and an eclectic mix of colorful chairs like these. I found this picture on designsponge.com


5. Ruffles! (as I'm sure you guys have noticed) I like them on any and everything! These are from evie-s.com


6. Wall decals. I don't have any, but I really like the idea of them. I had planned to use some in baby T's room, but unfortunately it's too small to have any room for them! I think this one is really clever from walldecors on etsy.


7. and finally, old cozy houses. I LOVE this style of houses. I want one so badly. I've come to accept the idea that I will not own a house until I'm 80 years old, and then it will probably just be a condo in Florida with my friend Elisa. But I still drool over them whenever I can. This one belongs to the author of ohmydeer.

New onesie design

Today I created a new design for onesies: the rocket ship! It's really cute. You might think at first, "this is for boys", but i think it would be really cute for girls too, add legwarmers and a cute headband, or ruffles on the butt for the summer, it really can go either way! let me know if you are interested in one (and as always you can check out the Ladybird Designs facebook page to see all the available designs).
