Custom Orders and NEW Products

Keeping up with the newest little and balancing my business has proven to be challenging, but I'm finally getting back on track and hope to start working more on my business this fall.

I am currently selling ready made items (lunch kits, list keepers, and diaper keepers) locally.  Grass Roots Eco Friendly Cleaners and Market is in Frisco at 121 and Custer Rd.  Keep up with Courtney (the owner) on facebook for some great sales and events.

Here is a bunch of custom orders from this summer as well as a sneak peak at NEW ITEMS that will be showing up in the shop come Monday morning.

My sister got married in June.  Her colors were orange and yellow.  I made 210 luggage tags to use as place cards on the tables at the reception and 30 crayon rolls for the kids at the reception.

The little neices and nephew got color coordinating bibs for the reception.  I made them using a children's button up shirt (to get the buttons and pocket for the boy) and then backed them with chenille.  Small for the baby and big for the toddlers.
 Becky got a orange silk purse to carry around.  Made from this pattern by Rae.
With 7 of us heading to the pool this summer, the pool bag got bigger and I was constantly needing to dig to the bottom to find the sunscreen....so  I figured I should be able to come up with a better solution....and I did!
This "Sunscreen Bag" is made of terry cloth on the outside and I added a orange ruffle for color.  
 The inside is also lined with orange and PLASTIC!  I love that I can just wipe it out when needed.
 Small 2" gusset at the bottom helps it stand up to fill and retrieve items from.  Plenty big for all our summer pool needs.
Also perfect for shampoo and soap when traveling!  That's how I'll be using it this fall and winter.

Had a wife custom request a gift for her hubby.  Travel kit for toiletries and a luggage tag out of BATMAN fabric that she sent to me!  How fun is that!  I had just enough for a small snack bag, so did that too.
 With 5 kids, we get invited to a lot of birthdays.  This is my go to girl gift right now:  A custom zippered pouch filled with fun girly things like gum, nail polish, chapstick/lipstick and silly string!  (the kid contributions)
 Custom order for two little boys I know turning 2 and 4.....Birthday Shirts!
Some snack bags for the birthday boys too.  New Blue Camo fabric and
 Curious George Firetruck fabric (to match the shirts).
Had a custom baby shower gift set that I made last month.  Red Sock Monkeys: Diaper Keeper, Burpie and Bib.  You will be able to purchase these in the shop now in several different fabrics.  Set will sell for $16.
Of course you can always get a diaper keeper by itself.  Now available in:
Red Sock Monkeys (I have light blue too)/Dark Brown
 Light Blue and Green Circles/light Denim
 Blue and Green Diamonds/pale Yellow
 Grey and Teal Flowers/Teal
I also have a bunch of new list keepers available:
Bird Cages/Teal
Cream Floral with Ruffle/Brown 
 Black,White,Red Diamonds/Red
 Flowers with Ruffle/Brown
 Grey Flowers with Ruffle/Teal
 Green Latice with Flower/Yellow
 I also have a few new lunch kit fabrics available:
Red Bandana/light denim
 Dinosaurs/Green

A BUSY summer and now I'm ready to move into the fall and winter.  With 4 at school now, I've got lots of plans for craft fairs, more local shopping and giveaways!   Stay tuned!!
