Logo!

Let me start by saying how much we love our in-house graphic designer (and not just because he's logged more hours getting our .com up and running than we have sewing lately :).  When we launched our etsy and facebook sites, we was there for us to play around with our little elephant friend and make him cuter than cute.  He was also there to help out with all the packaging materials, and has even designed all the pamphlet-type stuff we've had at trade and craft shows.

And it's not that we didn't like our logo, we just thought it was time to LOVE it.  And we really didn't want to bother the GD right now - his to do list is SCARY. 

So we got some outside help, and are pretty excited about how it's all come together.  So while the .com continues to progress, here's a little sneak peek of the logo that will come with it.  What do YOU think??

Christmas Show and Tell

I facebooked a while back about being the "homemade" Aunty, and finding it to be just a little bit harder each year as my nieces and (especially!) nephews get older. I went for something completely different for the boys this year, and it sounds like they are quite the hit...  It's a bird, it's a plane, nope - it's a PERSONALIZED SUPERHERO CAPE!

The pictures don't really show them off, but my 2 and a half year old didn't want to model them for me so until I can convince her to show off hers (yup, capes aren't just for boys!), it's the best I can do.  I may have also saved my sisters-in-law from having to get too creative for Halloween!

Not to be outdone, I did have to come up with something cute for my curly-headed little niece, so since my other niece got a tutu for her first birthday it was time to make one for Miss M.  I gotta say, I think I'm getting into this tutu thing.  I LOVE these colours together.  Purple is the colour of choice in that house, so I added in some blue, green and yellow for good measure.  My daughter was a little sad to see it leave...
