Cute as a Bean!

My sister just had a baby girl, so I am having so much fun shopping for cute things for my new little niece. Lots of super-cute handmade items can be found at Etsy.com. So I thought I'd share some of my favorites.

These bibs and burp cloths by Linabean are just cute as a bean! I love the very bright, colorful, fashionable fall patterns. And this is how she describes the burp cloth: "The burp cloth is a very absorbent cloth diaper in my own custom shape…A BEAN. It rests easily on your shoulder and stays there! It has piping trim and is reversible also." Brilliant!

Linabean has lots of other very chic designs. Check them out at: www.linabean.etsy.com.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

I tend to do my best work when I'm faced with a deadline and a clear purpose. Such was the case recently. I signed up to have a booth at a Baby and children's event. I realized that I needed more birth announcements to show examples of my work, so here's what I came up with on the night before the event. (Yes, I'm a night-owl. I had rather stay up late than get up early, much to the dismay of my husband.) I'm also a bit of a last-minute person. :)

I have not listed all of these on my Etsy site yet. So, email me if you are interested in getting prices or more info on any of these designs.
