Etsy Love: Sleepy Timez

Thursday, March 22, 2012
I love this product from Etsy seller Sleepy Timez.
What is it?
A seat belt pillow!!

Seatbelt Pillow by SleepyTimez - Flowers 
image via sleepy timez


Ever look in the rearview mirror and see your little ones head all cranked to one side and using the seatbelt to hold their head up? I have.

Have you ever tried to stuff a jacket, blanket, purse, diaper bag or whatever else is in the car under their little head so they won't wake up with a sore neck? I've done this too.

Sleepy Timez are designed to help ease those sleepy moments and make everyone's trip more enjoyable!

Each pillow wraps around the seatbelt for comfort. The pillow stays ready to catch those sleepy times, but is non-intrusive when awake. They are the perfect size for any age!

Specs:
Made with fleece
Attach to seatbelt with Velcro
Machine washable - gentle cycle

*If you have a certain color scheme you are looking for....  Sleepy Timez does custom orders!  Contact Sleepy Timez HERE.

St. Patrick's Day Craft

Monday, March 12, 2012
Who doesn't love hand print art?  They make adorable keepsake projects and the kids love them.
Here is a look at the little leprechauns that the kids created complete with a pot o' gold!

The Cutie Pattotie's:
C loved punching the pieces of gold out with the hole punch.


Mr. Mischief's:




To help your crafts last longer through the years create them with heavier papers like cardstock or even mini canvas panels that you can find for pennies at your local craft store.

Happy St. Pattie's Day!

Ballet Shoes

Saturday, March 10, 2012
One of my favorite memories as a child was when I got my very first pair of pointe shoes.  This canvas was inspired by that feeling and by carrying on the tradition with my little one who is now in her first year of ballet class.  The Cutie Patootie loved how this canvas turned out and even responded by saying: " Mommy! They are even in my size!"  I love how her mind works.

Etsy Love: Wishing Tree Tags

Tuesday, March 6, 2012
One reason I LOVE Etsy is for the wide range of charming products created by talented designers at affordable prices. Also, most all of the designers on Etsy are willing to work with you to get that extra special and custom piece that you are struggling to find elsewhere.

For those of you that are in the midst of planning a baby shower, sip and see, or Christening party a unique substitute to the ordinary guest book is to create a whimsical wishing tree.

The wishing tree can easily be created by branches arranged in a vase. (You can find beautiful branch options at your local craft/floral store.  These days, even grocery stores have great options.  Central Market has a fabulous floral department.). 
Once filled out by your guests the wishing tags or cards can be attached to the branches.  This makes for a great statement decor piece at the shower and guests will love reading all of the cheerful messages left for the new parents and their little bundle.
These cards make a perfect keepsake for you to cherish for years to come.

Below are some of my favorite wishing cards discovered on Etsy:

Wishes for Baby Cards - Unique Baby Shower Activity Game or Memory Book Idea - Set of 60

A fun alternative to the wishing tree is to display the cards on a line with clothespins.  Perfect for a spring/summer shower.
