Cute handmade bunny barfing tissue

How cute are these! I seriously need to get me an embroidery machine. Anyone want to lend me a few thousand bucks? (Link to source.)

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.

Happy Birthday to my crafty mom!

I want to take this opportunity and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my super awesome mom! I'm not going to reveal her exact age, but let's just say she's older than she looks. Seriously, you'd never guess her actual age, she just doesn't age! I really hope I inherited those genes from her! She's very crafty as well. She taught me to cross-stitch and inspired me to learn to craft with fabric. She's been called Super Mom by some of my friends and is known for being the most gracious host and most thoughtful person. I couldn't agree more. I love her to death and thank God everday that I lucked out and was given her as a mother.

Me, my little Natalie and my mom

Not Kid Friendly: No-Sew Nipple Tassels

Okay, so this isn't really kid or baby friendly, but it could lead to babies, so maybe it sort of counts...

As I was looking around the Craft website after posting on their Star Wars post, I saw this and just had to share: No-Sew Nipple Tassels. Classic. Anyway, click and read away and if you make some, let me know how they work out.

More Star Wars Crafts

I'm starting to think I should have focused on Star Wars themed crafts instead of baby bows...nah, not really, I'll let others do the heavy lifting.

On the super awesome site Craft, crafter Bonnie Burton and her Star Wars creations are highlighted. I'm in love with the Admiral Ackbar paper bag hand puppet. He's so cute!

Free craft-themed mystery ebook

If you have a Kindle or have the Kindle app on your smartphone or computer (yes, you can download Kindle books to your computer), click on over and get this free ebook, Lye in Wait (A Home Crafting Mystery). There are lots of free ebooks on Kindle daily, but how long they remain free is anyone's guess. The publishers will run quick promotions on their ebooks for a limited time, so while the ebook is free as of this posting, it may not be free in the near future, so grab it while you can!

From Amazon:
Cocoa butter soap, check. Lemon lip balm, check. A dead body? That's just what Sophie Mae Reynolds finds in her workroom: the corpse of Walter Hanover, the neighborhood handyman. He died from drinking lye, something she has in good supply. But the police don't suspect Sophie Mae, a thirty-something widow who makes and sells beauty products. Instead they call it a suicide. But why would a man with lottery cash and a loving fiancée kill himself?

No one can stop the impulsive Sophie Mae from answering this riddle, not her sensible best friend Meghan or Detective Ambrose, who incites annoyance as well as stomach flutters. Sophie Mae's big mouth and sharp nose lead her to a peppermint-scented trail of arson, bigamy, and a shocking family secret that reveals a personal connection to Walter . . . and his killer. This crafty new series features real recipes and a blundering, yet lovable, amateur sleuth who brings a fresh face to cozy mysteries.
