Children's Hooded Towels




These are hooded towels that I have made for each of my children. The towels keep them nice and warm when they first come out of the bath. These make great baby gifts because unlike the store bought hooded baby towels these are made from a large towel so they will last right into childhood. My nine year old niece still uses hers when she gets out of the shower. I can make the towel in any color available with the hood in a matching or coordinating color. I also decorate the hood with either lace or ribbon.

The towels are $18.00 each. They can be personalized for an extra $5.

Items for Little Girls













These purses were a custom order for two young girls. The Mom wanted certain colors for each girl with their names embroidered on the purse somehow. She also wanted them to look very girlie. I think they turned out very well. They were $19.00 each because of the embroidery.


Cameron had to go to his first school birthday party so I made this personalized pillow for the bithday girl. It is a unique item that she can have as a keepsake for years to come. $17.00

Stocking




I made this stocking for my son a few years ago. It is a pattern from Thimbleberries so I can't duplicate this one exactly but a few variations and we could design one all your own. The cost would vary. My usual cost is $15.00/hour for labor plus the cost of materials. This particular stocking was hand quilted so that would take more time obviously.

Keira's Jacket













This is a beautiful flannel jacket that I made for Keira. There are two layers of flannel with batting in between so it is super warm. I can make it for boys or girls. Keira usually wears clothes in 6-9 months and you can see that she can still grow into the jacket. I just folded up the sleeves so they are not too long for this year. The cost for a jacket like this would be $47.00.

This is one of my favorites. It looks so festive for Christmas. $14.00






Another Christmas purse. $14.00





Here is a lovely embroidered purse that is neutral and will go with many different outfits. $14.00







The purses made from a single placemat do not have any pockets on the inside. I just put my wallet in there and it takes up most of the space. These purses are for times when you don't need to carry everything with you. This one is $14.00.







$14.00






This purse and the following ones are made from quilted placemats and they have two pockets on the inside for a little bit of storage. They are near the top of the purse so you can put your keys in and get them out easily. These purses have a magnetic snap to keep them closed. You could also use these as diaper bags for older babies. $19.00







$19.00

Here is a look at the purse opened up. If you look close you can see the stitching line for the pockets which are on the inside of the purse.











I think that this one would make a sweet little baby girl a nice diaper bag. In fact, I like it so much I might use it for my own daughter if it doesn't sell. $19.00
