As mentioned the other day, I’ve been quite a busy-bee this week sewing up some rattles for the retro indie market this weekend! I’m really excited— mostly to help Heidi decorate, but if I can make a few bucks it will be an added bonus. Heidi might even be making Marlowe a mini apron to wear! Her cuteness should definitely help us bring in some sales πŸ™‚

Here’s a little peek into what I’ve made so far…

I’m in the process of finishing up the pizza-by-the-slice rattles (stuffing and sewing) and I’ve got quite a few fruit and veggie rattles made. Marlowe seriously loves her rattle, she always goes to that (or that poor chicken) over any other toy she has. So wouldn’t everyone else go for those too? Hopefully! πŸ™‚ I’ll be putting any leftovers (get it? Ha, I need sleep) on my etsy along with a few other items next week or so.
I’ve also picked up a few more amazing fabrics this weekend to start making some more aprons…

This link comes with a note from me… I don’t personally use fuzzibunz. Maybe they are great, maybe not. I don’t know. But I do personally like the all-in-one diapers. Unlike Melissa I’ve never had a sprayer attachment, and I don’t plan to really get one. My sink works fine. Also she mentions having to change the diapers often… I disagree with this. (At least in my case) I have found it is *very rare* for Marlowe to soak through. This basically never happens. Maybe it is because I did a ton of the pre-washing to prep the diapers, maybe its the brand, maybe it’s something else… I don’t know. I’m honestly not even sure how often I change her. She can sit in the diapers for quite a while sometimes and its never been a problem. When she feels wet I change her. I say if you are considering cloth diapers: GOOD! DO IT! It’s been one of the absolute best decisions I’ve made for Marlowe (and me and the planet). The amount of trash I had the first two months disgusted me. This is a hell of a lot better. I was using the chlorine free- 7th generation diapers before I cloth diapered, they were great and all (I still use and love their wipes), but this is so much better. I never spend a dime on diapers anymore and Marlowe’s (adorable) butt stays free of chemicals and diaper rash. Cloth diapering for the win. 
Also, this (dog and baby). I love them and I want to pile on top of them:
Thanks again for entering! Stay tuned for future giveaways.

  1. Thanks so much for linking up our shopyellowsquarelove! That totally made my day!

    Also, I love your baby rattles. If you have any left over from the craft show I will definitely buy one off of your shop. So cute. I tried to sew a banana the other day and it ended up looking more like a banana pepper! My plushies definitely need some work.

    Have a great weekend!
