Recent burp cloth orders
Michelle requested a burp cloth for a new baby girl. We used the Chunky Curlz Applique font from 8 Claws and a Paw for the "A", and I stitched "Arianna" with Embird Alphabet #17. It may not be totally obvious, but the fabric is the same pattern as the ribbon. (Stay tuned for another cute project with them!)
Melanie requested a couple burp cloths for her niece.
"Daddy's Little Girl" is stitched with Embird Alphabet #38, and I added paisley designs (from a frame from AK Designs Boutique) to go with the ribbon.
"Daddy's Little Princess" is stitched with Embird Alphabet #33. The crown is from a Band to Bow or Nobbie Neez Kids design, I think...

First Birthday Shirt
While doing a search for 1st birthday shirts with a bug theme, Christi stumbled upon the shirt I stitched for Will in July. She contacted me about making one for her son Isaac, and I was happy to oblige!
The "1" is from Chubby Wubby Applique Numbers from GG Designs, and the font is Tinker Toy from 8 Claws and a Paw.

Happy First Birthday, Chloe!!
A special little friend of mine turned one this week. Her mommy wanted something special to wear both on her birthday and at her party. She did some internet searching and found a couple precious outfits, but one was over $80! She figured I could come up with something, so we got to work. We quickly settled on a reversible A-line dress (Martha Pullen, size 1), with two different applique designs. Jenn bought the fabric, ribbon and buttons, then came over and we picked out applique fabric and threads together.
Side One, which she wore to church Wednesday, her actual birthday:
The "1" is from Chubby Wubby Applique Numbers from GG Designs, and the font is Tinker Toy from 8 Claws and a Paw.
Side Two, which she wore today at her party (these pictures aren't that great...):
The applique cake is from Lynnie Pinnie. I added the text with Embird Alphabet #33.
I had my camera with me both Wednesday and today, but failed to take pictures of Chloe, mainly because it's hard to do while holding Dashiell. BUT our mutual friend Glenda took pictures of Chloe this week. You can see a preview on Glenda's Photography blog, and later next week I'll add a few of Glenda's shots to this post so you can see how precious Chloe looks in her dress!

Chloe's gift
I spent so much time thinking about the dress Jenn asked me to make for Chloe's party that I nearly forgot to make a birthday present! Thankfully I had everything I needed for a hooded towel, and got to work a mere 24 hours before her party.
I guess I haven't made a hooded towel since before Christmas... crazy! Thankfully I remembered how :) and this one turned out very cute!
I used the Elle alphabet from 8 Paws and a Claw.

Sports-themed Burp Cloths
Rosanne contacted me about a couple baby gift orders.
Nico's daddy likes soccer and Scotland, so Rosanne suggested a soccer ball and plaid ribbon. I've had this soccer ball design from Embroidery Library for a while, but hadn't stitched it out yet. (I LOVE their Simple Treasures designs!!) Instead of stitching it in three shades of gray/black, I decided to use green and blue for the shading to coordinate with the ribbon. Nico's name is stitched with Indie font from 8 Claws and a Paw.
For Chase's burp cloth, Rosanne requested a UF Gator motif/colors including a football. Originally I suggested a stacked monogram in orange and blue with football ribbon or my usual applique football with "Daddy's Little Gator". But after doing Nico's design, I realized I could do the same thing with EL's Simple Treasures Football. I used a couple shades of orange for the shading and blue for the text. I picked Tinker Toy from 8 Claws and a Paw to coordinate with the polka dots on the ribbon.

Baseball T-shirt
Tiffany requested a shirt for a special little friend who is turning one. His parents are big baseball fans, so she suggested the baseball monogram from Five Star Fonts. Daddy is a Reds fan, Mommy is a Cardinals fan, so we went with red and black.

Baby Boy Gift
Valerie has a new nephew and ordered a few items for him. First, a Special Delivery Onesie:
Valerie's family are Ohio State fans, so the rest of the items are red and white. The applique buckeye design on the bib is a newly released freebie at DigiStitches -- the timing was perfect for this project! I added "Cutest Lil' Buckeye" with Embird Alphabet #8. (also pictured are a couple pacifier clips)
