Introducing Bow Holders!!!!

Here's a fun new product that I'm about to start offering!!

Bow Holders!!!!

As a mom of a little girl...our bow collection is growing rapidly and I had no place to put them. I needed something to hold the bows that did not take up space on the furniture and of course it had to be cute! I think this is the perfect solution!!!

Here is a quick little one I did for my daughter with supplies I had around the house. I'm sure she'll have SEVERAL more very soon!

AND THE FIRST GUMMIE GIVEAWAY WINNER IS...

ERIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all SO much for participating in my first Giveaway!!! I hope to have another one around Labor Day so please check back!!

**Erin, if you'll email me through my esty site (southernsews.etsy.com) and let me know which Gummie you'd like, I'll get started!!**

Gummie Giveaway!!!!

I've always wanted to host my own giveaway and I feel like now is the right time with the arrival of the boy Gummies!!! A lucky winner, selected by random.org, will be the new owner of a Gummie Doll!!!!

Interested? Here's what you have to do!
1. Give the Gummie doll a shout out on your blog and include a link to my blog or etsy shop
2. Let me know you've done that by leaving a comment on this post with a link to your post

That's it!!!!

The giveaway opens today and will close July 1st.

Edit June 29: Because my little blog doesn't get a ton of traffic, yet, a generous friend offered to help me with my giveaway by posting it on her blog. All entries will be combined from her post and my post for the winning. You can view her post here.

You may choose the Gummie you want from these available fabrics:

Girl








Boy

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, it has taken me FOREVER to get this doll finished and I am SO excited to announce that the first boy Gummie is HERE!!!

I love this little guy!! He's VERY colorful and fun. He is listed on etsy right now and I have enough materials in stock to make 2 more.

I also have fabric options 1, 2, and 3 in stock {click here}. If you're interested in one of those, please contact me through etsy about setting up a custom listing and I can get started on your doll.

Thank you for your patience...I hope he was worth it!!!

Gummie Fabrics

If you have a different pattern in mind, please convo me on my etsy page and I'll be glad to work with you!!

2 sales in 1 week!!!!

Wow I'm so excited to report that in the 1 week my etsy store has been 'live', it's already had 2 sales!!! The "Selahbelle" Gummie is doing well!! This is so fun!!! If my buyers are reading...thank you so much for your purchases!! I hope y'all enjoy your Gummies!!!

Coming Soon!!!

Coming Soon!! Hooter Hider, burp cloth, and more Gummies!!!



This will be the new Hooter Hider and I can make a matching burp cloth & monogram it!!


This will be the newest girl Gummie!! I just LOVE this pattern!! I can also make a burp cloth out of this too!!

We FINALLY have a listing!!!!!

I know it's not a boy doll...I promise he IS coming! This is "Selahbelle"...one of the new girl Gummies! She has smooth lavender minky and a cheerful aqua floral dress. I only have 1 listed but I make all my Gummies as they're ordered...so there is plenty of fabric ready to go!!

Here is the etsy listing: Selahbelle Gummie

**UPDATE 5-1-09** When I got home this evening I was surprised and excited to see that Selahbelle had already sold!!! I've already relisted a few more and plan to get the boys up next week. I'm so excited she sold in less than a day of being listed!!!

What's taking so long??

I promise I have a good reason for the delay with the Gummies. It's been busy around here. Last week I got the crazy idea that I would teach myself to smock and surprisingly, that's not the crazy part. I'm smocking my daughter's Easter dress...which means I'm on a time crunch! So far the smocking is going great! Look out for smocked outfits in the near future!!!

So back to the Gummies...it looks like it'll be after Easter before they're ready. I'll be sure to post as soon as they're here! Thank you for being so patient!! :o)

In the meantime...here's a little pic of my first ever attempt at smocking
(this is just a practice piece)

Etsy store is on the way!!!

I'm working on setting up my etsy store. I'll post an update as soon as it's ready! :o)

**Update!!** My etsy store is up and running...I just don't have anything listed yet. Hang in there with me. The Gummies are coming!

Boy Gummie Dolls are coming soon!!!

I've had a lot of interest recently in the boy Gummie and I promise he is on the way! I hope to have him posted next week or the beginning of the following week. He will have overalls and spiky hair.

The Minky is In!!!!

Here are my new Minky color options for the Gummie dolls. Coordinating fabric for the dresses is coming soon!

Kiwi


Pink


Aqua


Fushia


Lavendar

Gummie Doll - Pattie

An early favorite for my daughter was chewing on a burpcloth...which sadly was a plan white cloth diaper. It was then I started brainstorming for a more fun alternative. After a friend of mine made her a taggie, I thought we had found our solution! She loved it at first. So much, in fact, that I made her a couple more...it's always good to have backups!

Unfortunately, the taggie appeal wore off and she moved to stuff animals. So I thought...surely I can combine the 2. We call her "Gummie" b/c before our daughter's teeth came in...she loved to gum this little doll and that's how her "Gummie Doll" was born!
