Out of the Boudoir

A Baby's Warm Wish

I made two blankets for my brother's babies...they are due early next year...twin girls!

I also made coordinating pillows and pillowcases for each blanket. I didn't have time to take pictures before I had to send them away...anyway, enjoy these pics of the blankets...




My sister in law suggested I make more an put them up in my shop. I might sometime next year...sometimes I feel I have more projects in my head than time to crank them out!! Don't you?

Moms vs. Germs!!! The fight continues!

So what was a hot seller at the craft fair I did? I couldn't tell you then, but I can now that I have better pictures!

I started making shopping handle covers to protect my son from stuff that may be living on them. I never bought the ones that cover the whole seat at stores,because they were just too bulky! Altough I think they are great. The paisley one I have been personally using is pretty handy as far as being able to carry it in my purse, and easy to put on and take off. The last couple of days I have been going mad cutting and sewing some up, since thanks to my hubby, I have had some requests at Nolan's kiddie class.

We'll see how well they do...I would find it hard to believe its an original idea, I am sure I'm not the first one to come up with it, but I thought I'd make my own. I am giving them as gifts to my brother and wife who are expecting twin girls!!! and some of course are in my shop.

More warm wishes...

Remember this idea? I finally got a chance to sew up a couple of new very warm blankets to put up for sale in my etsy shop.


I sold the small aqua throw at the craft fair I did a few days ago. This beautiful little girl fell in love with it and her mom and dad could not resist getting it for her...she has great taste I thought!

The creme color is twin size and will make a nice blanket for someone soon I hope. I love the bright colors of the binding against a muted calm backdrop. I don't know, but they seem to be very 'happy' blankets, they kinda make me smile...

Cirque du Soleil craft fair

For the second year in a row I participated in Cirque's craft event. I did pretty well considering that it is a very small fair.

I have also started a making something new that moms just loved at the craft fair!, you can see them on the foreground in the picture...reveal to come!

A Hallows Eve

We had decided before the California fires that Nolan would be a fireman for halloween. After listening to all the news, his costume took on a whole new meaning.

Our little tribute to all the firefighters who are still battleling this blaze.
