1st ornaments

these are some ornaments i did for my girlfriend's friend.  just too cute not to share.

two down, many to go

since my kids arent really old enough to run the computer very well, i think it's safe to say that i can post  a christmas gift that i made for them.  pillow pets!  z has been bugging me one for a LONG time.  but i refused to buy one, the velcro on the ones i have seen never keeps them in pet form.  saw this pattern and figured i could finally give in to his request.  the dark blue one is for him & the light is for p (she isnt all girl) 

i have many more gifts to make and may post as i complete but just not with a name since i some of my followers are the intended recepient.  if not i'll post after christmas. 

darm weather kept the craft show traffic low last weekend.  but thanks to all who did brave the weather.  congrats to betsy theisen, she is the winner of the santa countdown.  look for that in the mail.  have a merry christmas everyone!

christmas gift & craft show & ladies extravaganza

my next craft show is the christmas gift & craft show & ladies extravaganza on

saturday, december 3, 2011 at the westside community conference center located at 3534 s 108th  st, omaha (108th & grover - between center & lst).  this show will run from 9 am to 4 pm.  i will also be doing a giveaway at the craft show of this cute little guy.  if you would like to enter via blog or facebook just leave a comment on my blog with your email (so i can contact you if you win)  what your favorite thing about christmas is.  mine is now making lefse with my family-carrying on a norweigan tradition.  dont worry if you dont win, i do have about 3 more of these to sell.  my kids love changing the numbers everyday. 

soothies paci clips

i have always felt for the moms whos babies like the soothies paci's.  NO ONE makes a paci clip for them. until now.  by using a skinnier ribbon, you can thread it thru the holes on the paci.  problem solved.  this is just one of the many that i have so let me know if you need one. 

and i do have regular paci clips and mam converters for mam babies.  $3 for any paci clip and 50c for a mam converter.  and when baby is done using paci's (or didnt take one) you can always use it for light toys to avoid the pick up game. 

here is the info on my next craft show.  i will be at the hope presbyterian church holiday botuque on satruday november 12 from 10 am-4 pm.  the church's address is 5220 s 159 ave (159th & q)  this is a home based business as well as craft show.  hope to see you there.

thanks

thanks to everyone who stopped out at the millard west craft show 2 weeks ago.  i had a great time.  looking forward to seeing even more people out at the hope presbyterian church holiday botique in omaha on november 12.  more details on that as the date gets closer.  til then i'll try to keep you updated on what i have going on in the basement.

basket full of changing pockets

here is what i have been working on for the up coming craft show.  stocking my supply of changing pockets.  a 16"x24" flannel lined pad for you to change baby on, with a pouch for 3-4 diapers & wipes attached.  when you are done changing baby just fold and roll it back up.  to see more pictures of the pocket unrolled look on my newborn page. 

millard west fall craft show

i will be at the millard west craft show on september 24.  the show runs from 9 am to 4 pm.  this is a really good show with lots of vendors, a great time to getstarted on your christmas shopping.  and its huge-vendors in the hall, & 2 gyms (i think i am in the 2nd one-watch for signs on how to get there)  i'll have all my regular baby & toddler stuff there along with some frames & christmas ornaments.  so if you will be in omaha next weekend stop by.  and remember if you cant you can always call or email me with your order.  i have everything on hand (except car seat covers) & can send you pictures of what i have on stock. 

i'm BACK!!!

sorry for such a long vacation, but i am back & ready to kraft.  i do have a few craft shows in omaha planned for the fall/winter and will let you know more info on those as the time gets closer.  in the mean time i hav been busy replenishing my stock & here are a few of the newest fabrics i have for blankets & burp cloths

plaque frames

simple but pretty little frame i made.  8x8 total size with photo corners to hold a 5x7 picture.  great gift for mothers day (it is just around the corner)  $10

dino minds eye

 

boys love dinosaurs (at least my son does) a great gift for his easter basket

my minds eye for boys

 

for the little guy in your life who loves all things with motors.  help him exercise his brain while having fun. 

my minds eye memory match

kids love to play games.  what better game to play than one that teaches them to use their memory?  pretty scrapbook paper glued & seales on sanded smooth wooden disks.  $12

new orders

girls, my life is just too crazy right now to be taking any new custom orders until may 1, 2011.  we will be moving in a few months to our newly built house, so i need to devote my time to packing and finishing up on that.  but remember just because i am not taking any custom orders, that doenst mean that you cant still get great baby or toddler items from me.  i always have stuff on hand and am more that happy to send you pictures of what i have and ship items out.  check back soon, i plan on posting a few things that i have on hand that arent on the blog yet, that would make great easter basket items.  (or a gift for big brother/sister when the new baby comes this spring)

changing roll

the latest in my collection.  a changing roll.  diaper clutches and changing pads are nice, but what is nicer than having it all in one?  this is an original design.  pocket on the bottom is big enough to fit a wipe case and 3-4 big diapers.  the 16x24" changing pad is flannel lined, so even if you have to change a diaper on the floor, baby wont get chilled.  it all folds up with an elastic closure, making it easier for you when baby is trying to squirm away from you.  wipe case is included.  $24
