Kivelli Baby Review

I won a giveaway from The Baby's Den (on facebook) for a $100 credit to Kivelli Baby (on facebook). It was so hard choosing what to get with the credit! I really wanted a bracelet for Adeline, but I also wanted a robe and the blanket was to die for! I am loving Damask right now! I just got the Robe and Blanket for now, and maybe a bracelet for Christmas! Kivelli Baby has a lot of very cute baby things, I highly recommend checking them out.

As soon as I got the Robe and Blanket I immediately washed them so I could take some pics of Adeline and use them!

The blanket is 30"x36" which is a great size for naps. I love the minky and the colors are gorgeous. My only suggestion to Kivelli Baby is to state on the website that the back of the blanket is not the same as the front. The one we received had a White back on it, I would have liked at least black if you can't have the same pattern on the back. But it is still Minky and super soft.

Adeline has to be playing with something!

The robe is super cute as well. The Robe is soft Terry Cloth with Minky on the borders. The size is 12-24 months. Adeline is currently in 12 months clothes, however the robe is still huge on her! I love it though and can't wait until she's a bit bigger to wear it properly.

Super cute packaging!

After her bath - sleeves so long, needed to be double rolled. But she loved it.

Stylin' and Profilin'

There was an issue with the shipping of my items, however as soon as it was brought to their attention they acted on it fast and got my items out to me as soon as possible.

Disclosure: I won a credit to Kivelli Baby, however all opinions are my own.

Craft Bazaar - October 20, 2012

I've decided to participate in a Craft Bazaar on October 20, 2012 to sell some of my wares. I've been busy busy making more things to sell, at the moment I'm not going to list new items on my ETSY site until after the show in hopes that I sell them there and no listing fees on ETSY!

So if you are in the Roanoke, VA area come on out - Emmanuel Wesleyan Church, 402 Hershberger Road, Roanoke, VA from 9am - 3pm.

I've been very blessed the past few weeks, my ETSY shop has really taken off and I've sold a few things and had a few custom orders. It would be great to make the extra income my family needs since I'm now a Stay at Home Mom to Adeline!

Here is a banner I made for my table at the Bazaar, lighting in my basement is not so wonderful...

Here are a few onsie's I made with the new Light Blue Flocked material I got this week:

This was a custom order. The customer saw THIS onsie and wanted it in blue instead.

I also got some Purple and Green flocked material and can't wait to make a few items with that as well. Thinking a green tractor and maybe a blue one too.

DIY Baby Shoes

Yesterday I went Olde Salem Days and while there bought some super cute shoes from Crazy Leggies and they inspired me to make some for Adeline. I used the Modern Baby Bootie Tutorial from Tao of Craft. These are my first attempt and I am a beginner sewer so they are not perfect! But they are wearable and hopefully I learned a lesson or two so I can make more for Adeline!

Any recommendations on how to sew a straighter line in the curve of the shoe? That was my worst newbie mistake!

Hairbows! DIY

Adeline doesn't have enough hairbows, I can never find one to match certain outfits. So I decided to make some of my own. Michaels had their Fall Stems on sale last week for $0.99/each - which is a great deal! Here is how I made the flower hairbows:

1 - Pull the flower heads off the stems - they came off very easily for me and I just cut off any excess stem with scissors so the back of the flower would be as smooth as possible.

2 - Cut out felt circles dependent on the size of your flowers. You can buy pre-cut circles, but I had felt already and didn't want to spend extra $$!

3 - Using your glue gun connect the hair clip to the felt. I put a line of glue then clamped the clip down, then added more glue on top to attach flower to.

4 - Once the flower head is attached it will look like this:

5 - Add hot glue and finish attaching felt to flower:

6 - And you are done! I made all 6 in about 30 minutes.

If anyone would like for me to make some for them let me know.

Ribbon Blankets/Lovies

I started making these cute little blankets last year. I made my first one for my friends little boy, Logan,  and then one for Adeline (not pictured). They are super easy to make and I get tons of compliments and people asking where I got Adeline's at! I like the 10x10 or 12x12 size and only a few ribbons or a lot! Just whatever I think looks good.

Here is the one I made for Logan in November 2011.

Here are my recent projects:
