Featured Item: Burp Cloths and Bibs


This week I chose burp cloths and bibs because, they have been the most useful to me and still are! Burp cloths were the first item that I started making. My twins spit up what appeared to be their entire feeding! The only thing that worked were cloth diapers. The only problem was that they were plain, white, and not cute. I decided to do something to them to make it not so bad that my babies spit up all the time. The cute fabric down the middle does add some much needed cuteness to spit up attire! These are made with the birdseye cloth diapers by Gerber.  I have tried both the 6 ply and birdseye and as a mom who does use them I really feel that the birdseye works best.  It also fits very nice and compact in the diaper bag. 

The burp cloths can be purchased in sets of two or three. They can also be purchased in a set with a matching or coordinating bib. The bibs were one of the next items I began make. After having friends request bibs with snaps, so that their babies would leave the bibs on, I thought that sounded like a great idea. It is hard to find bibs with snaps. All bibs are made with high quality chenille backing. It is soft, cute and very absorbent! My baby was a spitter also and these bibs helped add cuteness when his cute outfits had to be covered with bibs. They also can not be removed by baby! I have had several customers return for more bibs for their toddlers because, they were able to pull off all bibs but mine! These really are great for a long time, from about 3 months to toddlers.

To celebrate our three year anniversary all burp cloth sets of two are now $12.00 and sets of three are $16! Prices are already adjusted in my Artfire Studio and will be completely done in my Etsy shop soon. If you would like a custom order just contact me.

Bibs are 3 for $25! When all three are purchased you will get a refund or I can send you a revised invoice.

Feature Item--Sippy Straps

I decided to start highlighting one product every week. Sometimes it will just be more information about an old product and some weeks it may be a new product and some weeks it may be an item that is on sale. I hope you enjoy!

It was hard to decide which item would go first, so I decided to go with the last new baby item I have started making (also one of my favorites!). The Sippy Strap!

This really have been invaluable to me especially when I go for a run or we are out to eat at a restaurant. Who wants their baby's sippy cup or bottle to land on the ground or floor of a public place? YUCK! This will prevent that from happening! Unlike many sippy cup strap holders this one is made with one piece of elastic ribbon. There is a 3 1/2" loop at one end, it will fit around any sippy cup or bottle (even works on the tall narrow Dr. Browns). You just stretch and fit it on. If your sippy cup or snack cup (which it will also be handy for) has handles that go all the way down, just wrap the looped end around the handle and then slide the clipped end through. No snaps or Velcro to wear out.

The other end has a suspender clip that will clip on to any strap or if there is no strap, like on a restaurant highchair, you just loop it around the side and clip it to itself. I have one of these on my baby's chair at home and one in the diaper bag for when we are out and about!

Comes in the following colors:

Turquoise/Brown Dots(pictured)
Pink/Brown Dots (pictured)

Coming Soon--Turquoise/Black Dots
Coming Soon--Black/Red Dots

If you don't see the one you want in either my Etsy or Artfire shops just contact me and I will be glad to put one up for you.

More to Choose From

There are more ribbons to choose from, like there needed to be anymore! Just can't resist cute ribbon. There are several new nautical and beach themed ribbons for the keychains. The soccer one can be backed with any of the different colored webbing to match your teams colors! If you don't see your teams colors in the webbing selection just e-mail me and I will be glad to order some, please allow at least a week for the order of a colored webbing that is not shown. I have also added a lacrosse keychain, it has become very popular around where we live.




Several new ribbons for pacifiers, these can also be used for key chains. I just love the skunk that says, Lil Stinker and the raccoon that says, Makin Mischief! My little guy is definitely going to be needed the Makin Mischief one. I have some very cute girly stripes and dots. I love the pinks and greens!
