Baby Doll Clip

It came to me in a dream. Ok, actually when I was staring off into space for my very own 5 minutes of me time, I figured it out. Like most baby toys, I prefer them to hook to something.   I'm constantly picking up what she's dropping.  At the grocery store, I like to hook a toy on the cart if it's going to be more than 20 minutes.

I got this little $1 baby doll with blue eyes like My Baby. She loves it.

So, I decided if it was going to travel, it was going with a clip.  I got some ribbon, and sewed it on the back underdress of the doll. What a Super Easy thing to do and worked out great.  Just a suggestion for those in the same situation!

Hope it helps!

Embroidered Pillow Case

Brooke's new pillowcase

 I have two twin nieces who just turned 3.  I hope they liked these.  I embroidered each with their name.

Once they are washed, they'll look really great. I love how embroidery thread pops.  It is made of rayon, instead of cotton, so they have a nice sheen.

We're also introducing our newest item at our Chicago Bench Etsy Shop.

Possibly my favorite part! One block of this tree.

Our Doug Fir Modern Rustic Lamp.  My husband made it from one piece of reclaimed Doug fir.  You can see the tree rings so clearly.  It's beautiful! You can check it out more here.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. What did you do?

Embroidered Linen and Burlap Sign

 Spring is definitely in the air. The next five days say sunny and at least in the 40's...that's a heat wave for us around Chicago. My tulips in front of my house are already coming up!

 In the spirit of Spring, I did up these Burlap and linen embroidered Spring signs. I stuffed them with some cotton and added a wood leaf button.

 My baby seems kinda aloof to the whole thing.  Quietly reading by the bookcase. Ok. Probably not reading, but definitely paging through ALL of our books.

 You can make your own Spring sign or you can grab one from my shop here.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  What are you going to do?
