Babies Need Love Too!

Here is a little project that I have been putting off because all of my wonderful clients have kept me so busy!  THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!!

One of my dear friend's daughter had the cutest little son and just happens to share my "N's" same name, so of course I instantly love him!  I put this cute little blanket together for him.  It measures 24" square.  On a whim I decided that it would make a fantastic taggie lovey blanket so I added some tags.

Then on another whim, I decided to turn one of those tags into an "N" for his first name.  I have never done monograming before.  Honestly, I am not skilled on that subject, so it was a bit of a battle with the sewing machine.  lol.  It did turn out sort of with a vintage look, so I deemed it awesome.  I also make the tags different sizes instead of the same size like I normally do.  As an added bonus, I put in a little chevron stitching to match the fabric.

All in all, I think this little project turned out to be perfect.  The whale minky fabric is SUPER soft.  Love it.  I hope that as little "N" grows that he will fall in love with it too.

Come See What's New!!!!

Long time no write!  We have had a whirlwind of stuff going on here.  Illness, Daughter leaving the nest, Grandparents visiting, More Illness, School, Lots of Sewing and Life!  I hope this finds everyone well.  I have a ton of things to post, but I think this is one of the most important posts.  I will have to catch you up later on all of the neat things I have been creating this last month.

I am SOOOO excited to introduce a new pocket option for the lap pad!!!!  What a great way for your loved one to keep their special something close by while they eat or do work.  I am over the top excited about this one.

This came as a special request.  I have never made a pocket on my lap pads before, so it took a bit of planning.  I think it came out so nicely though!!!!  I took it to school and gave it to the little boy myself.  He absolutely loved it.

Please check out my Etsy listing here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/202105801/customized-2-lb-weighted-lap-pad-with?

Sorry that the quality of the photo isn't very nice.  If you look at the actual listing you will find a close up of the pocket.  For whatever reason when I uploaded the picture it didn't take.  Computer issues.  :P  Anyway, the pocket is marked by the orange ribbon topper which gives the pocket a very nice finished.  It is also very soft so it makes it pleasant to feel and noticeable where the pocket is located.  

This is the little boy, "S".  He is SOOOO cute.  He must have taken his little white car in and out of the pocket 10X before deciding that it was nice and safe in the pocket.  He sat there and explored the lap pad for several minutes checking out the ribbons, the texture of the lap pad, the space ship and rocket dog.  It delighted me to no end to be able to stand there and watch him go.  My day was definitely made and reconfirmed the reason why I am doing this.  :)
