ANOTHER Giveaway!

Not only am I having a giveaway on my own blog, I'm also having a giveaway on the blog, My Charmed Life. This giveaway has a special purpose to it. A new law has been passed that says that all products that are made for children have to be tested for lead. ALL products. That means that all sellers on etsy and anyone else who makes things for children will have to close, including me. Although, to be honest, I'm planning on staying open anyway. At any rate, check out the other blog & giveaway! The blog also has more info on this law and other examples of shops who are going to have to close thanks to this new law.

Giveaway! - CLOSED

It's giveaway time! For today's givaway you get to choose three, yep three, flower clips of your choice from my shop, Babies Beautiful.

But, before you go, let me tell you a little bit about what you'll be getting. I started making these when my daughter was a baby and didn't have any hair. In fact, she still has barely any hair *sigh*, but I digress. Before having her, I thought I didn't plan on using headbands on my little girls because they always seemed like they were squeezing the poor kid's head! But, since my daughter is a little baldy, people (ok, usually old men) kept thinking she was a little boy! So, when I recieved one of these headbands that are cute, stretchy so they don't leave a mark, and have the option to put any flower, clip, bow, etc. on them, I wanted everyone else to enjoy them, too!

Next came the flower clips. I make them for you the same way I make them for my own daughter. I've tried different adhiesives because after my daughter wearing them and then tearing them off, I realized I needed the strongest I could find! I also line the clips so they look nice, but leave the bottom of the clip un-lined so you can use them on beanies, the headband, in hair, or even as a decoration on a tutu from my shop! Lastly, I put no-slip grip on the clip so it will even stay in my daughter's barely-there, baby-fine hair! By the way, if you are interested in a beanie like in the picture, it's from Noggins Beanies. She has all kinds of cute designs!

Here are the rules for entering:
*Visit my shop, babiesbeautiful, and choose which three flower clips you'll choose if you win and then come back here and leave a comment telling me!
*For an extra entry, tell me which of the other items in my shop is your favorite.
*For two extra entries, buy something from my shop (maybe a tutu to go with your flowers?) and them come back and leave two comments telling me what you got to get your entries.

This contest closes January 27th at midnight CST. Winner will be chosen by a random number generator.

Coming Soon...

My first giveaway on this blog!!!! I've got to get the word out first, though, so check back!

T-Shirt Quilt

A couple of months ago, Lori contacted me on etsy about making a t-shirt quilt for her hubby for Christmas. After sending me the fabric and t-shirts she wanted on the quilt, here's what she got back!I may be biased, but I LOVE how it turned out! Does this quilt make you think of that pile of t-shirts in your hubby's closet, or even your own that you LOVE but never wear? Isn't this the perfect solution?!

Merry Christmas!

In case you haven't noticed, my shop is down for the holidays. I'm in California for my hubby's graduation from chiropractic school (way to go!!!) and then to visit family for Christmas. I'll be back the 27th. In the mean time, have a Merry Christmas!!!

New tutus and headbands

Like I posted yesterday, I'm going to be adding new tutus to my shop. But first, a preview of what's to come!

Here are a few tutus that are made and ready to be shipped. It also gives you an idea of some of the colors I have available.




And not to gloat, especially on the day Auburn lost their head coach (which I think is NUTS, by the way!) but here's a cute picture of my little cheerleader. Don't mind the drool stains, she's at the end of a LONG period of teething. Molars, ug! On a better note, Roll Tide!


Finally, here are the two newest colors for headbands I'll be adding in my shop, light pink and dark pink, which look really cute with tons of flowers. But you'll have to wait on pictures of possible flower/headband combos.

Craft Fair

I know the craft fair was a week and a half ago, but we've been busy around here, thus the belated post.

Here's my booth all set up! I had it different the first day, but I think this way allowed people easier access to all the products.


Here are all the flower clips on display. My hubby made this great display board for me!


I owe a big thanks to my hubby, mom, and friends for helping before and during the craft show. I sold a ton more tutus that I thought I would so I had to restock after the first day! I never would have made it without them! I'd all but stopped selling tutus in my etsy shop, but after the success at the craft fair I'm adding more options! Very popular were the college team colors tutus! Being in the South, I sold Alabama, Auburn, and even a Florida St. tutu, but I can do any color/university you like! Variations of pinks and purples were also very popular! I'll have several listings in my shop, including the option to create your own tutu color combos. Just convo. me for a custom order. Some ideas I had are:
*Pink and green or purple and green, it reminds me of a garden fairy!
*Your favorite team's colors, your little girl will be the cutest cheerleader!
*Light blue, dark blue, and purple, it reminds me of a mermaid!
*Light green and dark green, with or without blue, think tinkerbell!
*Pink and orange, yummy sherbet!
