and back to the subject at hand! for someone who doesn't actually have a baby, i certainly have been making lots of baby stuff. this time, it was for one of jason's co-workers. she saw what i made for my sister and asked if i could make her the same set for her sister's baby shower. and like...pay me money...what!?! get paid to do stuff i would probably do anyways? okay! the only real direction she gave me was that the baby is a girl and the mom-to-be isn't really into girly-girl, frilly, pink stuff. it was easy for me to design since i feel like i'm the same way.
went to stonemountain and daughter fabric store (see link from previous post) and found the CUTEST (caps can be used to covey emotion) owl fabric. owls have been on my mind a lot lately, reasons i'll dive into in another post, but i had to have this fabric.
i did the same set: 3 burp cloths, 1 bib and 1 nursing cover (i forgot pics of the nursing cover, but it was in the same owl fabric used on 1 of the burp cloths)...and i got paid. it was pretty awesome. so, in light of all this, i decided maybe i should do this more. if i like making this stuff, and i am going to do it anyways, why not make a little money? now, i'm not quitting my day job or anything but hey, it's fun! so, i've started thinking about setting up an etsy shop. i haven't done it yet, because i want to be sure that i do it, and continue having fun with it...but i'm pretty sure i'm ready :)
one thing i thought about adding are pacifier clips. never done it, but super easy and one of those helpful things i feel like moms need.
so that's that. look for a post on the new shop soon. tell your baby friends. that is to say, friends who have or will have babies.
here are the pics from the stuff i made jason's co-worker:
i will post our halloween pics by this weekend!
xoxo
