My 15 month old as Kat Von D for Halloween

Some mother's dress their baby girls up as princesses or fairies. Or maybe they'll put them in little furry costumes so that they are puppies or bunnies or kittens. Not me. Nope, my 15 month old rocked Halloween as Kat Von D from the show LA Ink.

Her name is Natalie and we sometimes refer to her as Nat Von D. Well, when it came time to figure out a Halloween costume, it was obvious what we had to go with.

She's got the blue and black eye shadow, red lipstain, blue hair, cool clothes and, of course, the star tattoos by her eyes. Yeah, she's not an exact match, but close enough to count! We had intended to put a lot more tattoos on her, but she screamed when we'd apply the wet wash cloth to moisten the tattoos. You'd have thought we splashed her with battery acid. She loved getting eye shadow applied, however. Weird kid.

We've now got hats for boys! (and some for girls, too)

I've finally got some stuff for boys on Dramatic Baby! I'm posting up some very cute hats for boys, handmade, with love....
These are too big for little babies. They're better for toddlers or small children. The sizes vary a little depending on the type of yarn used and the design used. 

There are hats for little girls, too, so don't fret! I've also got a couple of drawstring bags for little girls, perfect for storing their tiny toys or to carry snacks on a trip. Click here to view the entire album of available items.

I've posted some more handmade bows on Facebook!

I've posted some more handmade bows on Facebook, and one is VERY large! I was trying to copy a design I saw and I grossly overestimated the amount of lace to use. In the picture below, it may look nice and normal, but in reality, it's about 9 inches across and would swallow a child's head!

In fact, I've lovingly nicknamed it the Face Hugger, like those lovely creatures in the movie Aliens.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Along with the giant monster bow, I've also created several normal hair clips, just a few of which are shown below. Be sure to head over to my Facebook page and check out the Album "For Sale" in order to see all the new additions and my entire stock.

$25 for $50 worth of fabric at Boca Bargoons

Groupon Atlanta is offering a deal of $25 for $50 of high end fabrics at Boca Bargoons in Alpharetta, Georgia. The fabrics are pretty pricey normally, with some going for $32.99/yard! Yikes! But this would be a great opportunity to basically get $50 worth of material you wouldn't normally splurge on for half price. To get this deal, click on the Groupon box that is to the left of this post. It doesn't show this particular bargain, but click it and it will take you to Groupon and from there click All Deals up top and you'll see it listed. There's apparently a very limited supply of these, so grab one quickly if you're interested!
