He's {Popular}

Pirate Boy is popular, and he's not ashamed to show off!

Here is an example of a custom pirate boy onesie and burp cloth set created for a sweet baby shower gift:

Boo! It Begins...

Boo! It Begins...

A little cold never stopped us... we've been under the weather around here. Thankfully, we are recovering at this point. We are hoping to be out of the woods with long nights, three in a bed, and fevers all around. Despite the sniffles we have been in good spirits because...

We've started our holiday festivities!!

Including decorating the house, eating candy, sewing up some Halloween fun, starting the creative process for the lil' monkey's Halloween costume, and even some Halloween modeling for my Etsy shop!

Check out the Pirate Tee that we love!

There is a boys version with blue "x marks the spot" stitches, and a girls version with a sweet pink bow.

The monsoon storms this weekend were the perfect relief we needed from the heat to get into the "Fall" state of mind. Hopefully the heat isn't around too much longer. We'll be spending the next few weeks reading Halloween books, watching festive movies, and making caramel apples!

Anyway, we know we like to start the holidays a little earlier. We just can't help trying to make it last a bit longer- they come and go so fast. We hope you are having fun with the season too!

Baby Shower Add-On

A few weeks ago I attended a friend's baby shower. The host called and asked if I could help a little with decorations. She mentioned doing a clothesline with little garments that matched the nursery theme of Sailboats. I told her I could come up with something in addition to the onesie and burp cloth set that I was already planning on giving the mom-to-be as a gift. After a few brainstorming sessions and lots of fun, I came up with these simple, yet sweet, little nursery wall hangings. They were a huge success at the party!

Wonderland

I know I promised these pictures ages ago, but life happened and I was delayed. Sorry about that. I hope you love them and you'll check out my listing for the gorgeous Wonderland Quilt at Monkey C Baby on Etsy.

Enjoy!

Selfless or Selfish?

This morning I designed and pieced a new quilt. I was in love with this fabric and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it when I first laid eyes on it.

It was one of those projects that was exciting and fun from start to finish. When I had the main portion pieced, I laid it out in front of me and smiled from ear to ear. I was in love with my new creation. The rest of my afternoon was spent debating whether I was going to keep it for myself and add borders to make it larger... it could have a fabulous life possibly gracing my bed or as another cuddly quilt for the family room. Oh such tough decisions!

Initially the plan was to create this beauty and sell it on Etsy to a lucky buyer- who would of course fall as madly in love with it as I have and then smile from ear to ear every time they laid it out, cuddled a sweet baby wrapped in it, or simply passed it while it adorned a spot in their home.

When my hubby came home he fell as in love with this new quilt as I had. This decision just got much harder!

In the end I decided I was so in love with this quilt that I couldn't deny another person from it as well, so it will grace the Monkey C Baby Etsy shop as soon as it is bound.

Plus, I suppose I could always make another for myself... I'm not that selfless... hehe

Pictures coming soon!

Done and Dusted!

I am finally at liberty to reveal my fun custom order! I customized three shirts and two hats for Tyson Nash, a professional hockey player (now retired). Tyson played for some great teams, one of which was the Phoenix Coyotes! 

As a retirement gift, his good friends had me add his number to shirts and hats for the teams that he played for. The final product looked awesome and I had a blast creating these one of kind pieces! Check them out and let me know what you think:)

Custom Order Surprise...

I'm staying busy at the Monkey C Workshop (a.k.a. my kitchen table) with custom orders this week... one of which is a special gift for a famous athlete! 

Oops... I can't spill the beans so you'll have to wait and see the final product in a few days. I can't wait to show you!

Do you have a special occasion coming up? Or just a reason to spoil someone you love with a custom gift? Well, Monkey C Baby is up for the challenge. Let me know what I can create for your special day or your "just because" gift. 

The possibilities are endless- quilts, shirts, blankets, kitchen towels, table runners, baby clothes, burp cloths, stuffed bubbles, and all sorts of beautiful handmade creations!

This high quality 100% Cotton, handmade friend is made with quilt fabric remnants of all colors and designs, then stuffed with 100% Organic Cotton fiber. It can be adorned with or without the silky ribbon loops. 

Stuffed Bubbles are a favorite among infants and children. They love to suck on the ribbon loops, or tote them around town with one finger locked onto the loop of their Stuffed Bubble.
