My good friend from high school, Jill has a great Etsy shop, Waddell Creek Rustics. We traded, and this was she ordered, a little tote/ purse for her little Bianca turning two next month. She specified something girly, with a stiletto shoe on the front.


As I thought about my design, I thought, this girl needs it reversible so she has two purses in one! One side with a little bling, the other side for every day.



The casual side is fern green narrow ribbed canvas, with the paisley ribbon border on the top that wraps around, and the appliqued monogram for "B".



The fancy side is a sequined purple with the applique black, sleek stilletto.

Random.org selected comment number 4 to win! Caroline! You won the shoes! Congrats.

With only 7 entries, you really do have a great shot at winning these little giveaways. So I'm so happy to give the few people who look at the blog the opportunity to really win something.
I didn't quite finish the little dude pair...look for them soon.

Thanks everyone who voted! It was kind of spread between different things. So I think I'll spread a few out. [the photos below won't be the actual giveaways...I still need to make the items to give away]
Over the next few weeks expect to see:

1. Baby Shoes: one girl pair, one boy

2. Tepee: just the fabric shell, winner would have to supply their own poles--sorry, I'm not shipping 7.5' poles!




















3. It came down to the Max costume or a backpack, but I thought more people could take advantage of a backpack, so the last giveaway will be an owl backpack



So hopefully you'll enter to win! I think everyone has a pretty good shot at winning between the three because you probably notice not many comments pop up, so I'm excited for those that do look at the blog to win stuff!!!

This little outfit is a gift for a baby shower. The mother mentioned she would prefer to lean away from pink. I also recall she liked woods theme for the bedding. Not that your clothes should match your bed, but I thought she might think the toadstool and acorn would be better than other options I was considering. One addition to the long-sleeved onesie, was the BUTT RUFFLES! Here's a tutorial for 3 different options I found through Ucreate. I thought if she didn't want to wear the skirt with it, some red baby legs would look cute so you could see the butt ruffles.

The skirt is knit with elastic waistband. To make the skirt, it is just a rectangle 9" high and 24" wide, sewn with a back seam, then hemmed and the elatic waist. I added the white ribbon on the hem, and zig-zagged it in place.

Hopefully this mom and little girl will enjoy this outfit when she arrives!
