Man Cave turned Craft Cave

Anyone who saw this post a few weeks ago, knows that my sewing room was in desperate need of some attention.  It was THAT kid in Wal-Mart. The one with disheveled hair, no shoes, mosquito bites on her arms, and an attitude that makes Joe Dirt cringe.  Yes, I had a white trash sewing room.  

Yet I am marketing my things as "delicious baby accessories hand crafted in contemporary styles and stimulating textures."  Kind of an oxymoron.  I needed the office (now craft room-- poor hubs) to reflect what I'm going for, here.  

So, our Christmas gift to each other was a nice, crispy new office! And a crispy new Apple computer and a masculine(ish) desk for it all to compensate the hubs for giving up his dreams of a "man cave."  

So, without further adieu... enjoy!
I adore my teal pegboard!  I just spray painted it with 2 coats of Valspar primer, and then used 2-3 coats of Valspar teal (matte).  It ended up being 2 cans of primer and 2 cans of teal.  The thread, ribbon, and etc items are placed on various pegboard hooks from Lowe's.

I am in love with this desk- you can find it (in pieces) here, at Office Max- Brenton Studio Collection. I also ADORE my sewing machine, the Brother SE 400- it's as inexpensive as you can find (that will embroider and monogram and connect to your PC).  I found it on Amazon.

You name the color, I've got it.  Except hunter green.  Blech.

Did I mentioned we got a new Apple?  I am loving iPhoto's "edge blur" option.. :)

I have accepted that this is as tidy as my shelves will ever be.  I just have too.  much.  stuff.  But a little edge blur action is just what the doctor ordered!

My husband's 27 inch monitor that he had to have.  Oh, look! I'm reading Sweetish Baby's blog!
There you go!  I love it- it's where I'm writing you from as we speak.

Updated Fabric Options

Here are the most up-to-date fabric choices we offer for any appliques, ties, or gift bag totes.

Sweetish-Baby-Gift-In-A-Bag!

Sweetish Baby's newest "thing"- baby-shower-gift-in-a-bag!  Included are the following items:
A personalized "gift bag"- that will double as a travel tote.  The decorative bow is an actual hairbow.

A personalized onesie- you name it, you got it.  A name, initials,cute adjective, birthday, zodiac sign.  :)


3 coordinating bows- they will coordinate with the gift bag, the onesie, and the taggie blankie (pictured below). These are medium sized bows- approximately 3 inches wide.

And it's not a Sweetish Baby product if it doesn't include our signature contemporary minky/satin taggie blankie. Also personalized.  :)
I made this prototype for our A-M-A-Z-I-N-G photographer, Rob Milton (out of Katy, TX), that took our family portraits this past weekend- and his gorgeous pregnant wife Ella, who is a pastry chef posing as a high school teacher.  :)   I'll post them to our Sweetish Baby on Etsy very soon!

My Desperate Sewing Room.

Ugh, my sewing room needs a make-over!  Since I'm pretty new to this whole sewing thing, I'm currently using our home office (especially because my machine hooks up to the computer for most of the fonts that I use for monogramming and appliqueing, etc)- which was already boring in the first place.  Now it's just intolerably cluttered (which is NOT like me) and boring. 
Have a look-
 I re-did our master bedroom this summer (see the finished product HERE)... and I think I shall move this sewing room to the top of my wish list of rooms to re-vamp.  This eHow article provides several useful tips in utilizing every square inch in small spaces (ie: half of a home office!)

And, while we're at it- here are some inspiration pictures I'm feelin'-
Now THIS is organized!

So fresh feeling.

If nothing else, I WILL create this pegboard. 

Another awesome pegboard.

Coming Soon: Boutique Bows!

Working on perfecting my bow, and then a door to a whole new world (coordinating onesies, bows, bibs, baby legs, oh my!) will be opened!  Here's my first try- not too shabby, if I might say so myself!!!
Please excuse the amateur photography- taken with my cell phone at 9pm...

New and Improved: Interchangeable Ties

The ties that you will receive with your Interchangeable Tie Onesie order will now be adorned with a "tag" on the back, just like on Daddy's ties.  :)

New and Improved: Sweetish Baby Loveys

We've tweaked the original design of the taggie-loveys!  They will now include a pacifier clip, created from one of the textured ribbons lining the edges.  Attached will be a ring that can also be utilized as a stroller or toy clip.


I think it's so sweet that this blankie was ordered for a "Dex"... I love when I hear names similar to my little "Dax"!

Alphabet Typography Wall Art

This alphabet typography wall art is 100% customizable for your baby, toddler, or young child's room.  Just let me know the color scheme you are working with (or, better yet, mail me fabric swatches like Tiffany did!), and I will personalize this large (26x30 or 30x40) piece for your little munchkin.

The stripe pattern is painted using acrylics, and the wood letters are painted and strongly secured ontop of the canvas using clear wood glue.
This is now up for sale at Sweetish Baby's Etsy shop!

Interchangeable Tie Onesie

I am SO excited about our next item to go up for sale!  I haven't perfected it yet, and have a few more ties to make out of some to-die-for fabric (think: Mad Men)... but I had to post this sneak peak of our latest creation: interchangeable tie onesies!  There is velcro sewn onto the onesie and each tie, so your little man can change it up depending on his (and your!) mood.
