Smocked Dresses, Heirlooms, etc.

This is a bit more intensive, and requires a meeting at Gina's, generally. But, no one else does them that I've found! If you need a handmade heirloom or smocked dress for a special occasion, I am available to do a limited number. A basic bishop with angel sleeves like this one, and a smocked bishop top will start at $60 and go up based on size and detail. I can bring the insertion lace ones I've done, and will try to get a picture up soon.

Tutu Tees

My two year old loves these shirts. This is a birthday gift for a friend, but the idea could be extended to any color shirt, any applique (this one was purchased to match something else, but I can make any applique), and any color tulle that your little one would like. They're $20, and a monogram or name can be added for $12 additional. (I don't have a machine, but can take it to get it done!).

Baby slings

These are cut to fit baby slings, made especially for you! This is me with my 10 month old-I carried her sister until 15 months. She's in it all the time. The outside is cotton, the inside is flannel. These are so nice to throw in a diaper bag and have handy, and have doubled as everything imaginable! The flannel is available in white, light pink, light blue, green, and off white. The outside can be any quilting cotton, which you can choose or I can. (depends on how specific you are!) Slings are $35, and less if you buy the cotton yourself.

Lincoln's blanket

Alright, this is a once in a lifetime thing-not something I'm repeating for sale! Just wanted to share it.


In my family, I have one sister and I only had girls. When I found out her first baby (due in January) was a boy, I wasn't sure what boys do! I stayed up most of the night looking up "boy things" and then drew out this blanket. I cut it out the next day and have been working on it since! Two boy bunnies doing boy stuff-it's my first attempt at something this large scale, so forgive things like the sun...the bear did end up with legs at the end!

We can't wait to meet baby Lincoln!

Natural playdoh

I made six colors and smells of playdoh today, and it was so rewarding. Plus, my house smells awesome! Starting with the brown at the top, they're chocolate colored with cocoa powder, jasmine scented and colored with turmeric, cinnamon scented and colored with cinnamon and paprika, mint scented and colored with wheatgrass, orange scented and colored with paprika and turmeric, and rose scented and colored with beet powder.

It's been raining constantly here, so sorry for the not-well-colored picture. Each ball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The set of them in plastic bags is $10, add $6 more to have them in small glass ball jars.
