Gettin' busy with Singapre Part 1

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a woman in Singapore that told me she absolutely loved my line of baby/mommy gear, TheEmmaline. She asked if I would consider working with her on a wholesale basis to help stock up a new online boutique that she was helping to start up. Aparently in Singapore, awesome baby and mommy gear is a little hard to come by. Originally she only wanted a few burp cloths, drool bibs, changing pads and reversable nursing covers. Well, it mushroomed from there.

She increased her order a few times and finally we ended up at a grand total of 250 items! That's 50 nursing covers, 50 changing pads, 70 double-sided burp cloths and 80 drool bibs!!! Holy cow...I got a lot of work to do!

So, after I received the payment, I purchased all of the fabric and started cutting. After two rotary cutter blade changes, this is what 250 fabulous baby/mommy items looks like...

So, yes...it's all cut. Now comes the fun part...pinning. I don't think I have enough pins!

Stay tuned to see my progress! Oh yea, one more thing...I have to have this out to her US shipping facility by April 12th!!! I better get crackin!

One of the Coolest Holidays Ever!

Happy shopping and HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Remember to be safe while drinking your green beer...nobody like drunk leprechauns getting behind the wheel. :)

Introducing the Diva Sleeve

Oh. My. Gosh. I am SOOOOO excited about my newest product! It's not even available in my shop yet but I made one at the request of a client and think it's so amazing that I have to sell them!

Carol, my client, is going to celebrate her birthday this weekend in New Orleans with some friends. First of all...how awesome is that?!?! She wanted to take her phone, a little cash, her ID and the one other absolute girly girl essential...LIPGLOSS!!!!!



The Diva Sleeve, which by the way was named by Carol (thanks Carol!!!), is just like my deluxe Palm Pre sleeve. It keeps your Pre nice and protected with cushy minky in the inside of a hot cotton print and it also has a pocket on the front to hold cash and an ID/debit card. It also has the velcro-closure top flap to keep your Pre safely inside.



The first new addition to an already awesome sleeve is the the extra width to hold a lipgloss neatly inside! The next thing I've done is move the top closure flap off to one side so that you can slide the lipgloss in and out without having to open the flap.

The final awesome addition...it's hands-free!!! I've attached a wide and reinforced belt loop (more of a tunnel, really) to the back so you can slide it on to your fave belt and go out to rock the floor without worrying about carrying a bag! I promise...they only thing you'll have to hold is your drink!

To get the hottest new item for spring, check out my shop , pick a fabric and convo me and I'll whip it up for you!

Birth of an Item

I’ve decided to come up with a new item, at the inadvertent suggestion of previous clients. I sell a lot of purse organizing pouches and while no one has specifically requested the item for this use, most have told me that they use it to keep feminine items in at the office (or just all in one spot in their purse). Evidently there are many out there that are tired of the ol’ tampon up the sleeve routine!




I'll be putting on my R&D hat this weekend and I have decided to make a custom item just to hold tampons and panty liners. What do y'all think? How many tampons is good...3? Let me know your thoughts!

Nursing Covers, Drool Bibs and Burp Cloths, oh my!

So, I'm pretty thrilled...I'm in the process of working through the details of my largest wholesale order to date! When all is said and done, 40Drool Bibs, 25 Nursing Covers, 25 Changing Pads and 40 Burp Cloths will be on their way overseas!!!

I sat down today to start organizing my shopping list and found that I need to purchase a minimum of 60 yards of fabric. The entire order will take more like 70 yards of fabric but that's where having a huge fabric stash comes in handy! :) Not to mention that I need to purchase 12 yards of boning, dozens of snap sets and three yards of velcro.

Now, all I have to do is average three of these orders a month and I can quit my day job!!! I'll keep you posted.

Star of the Week!

My daughter is the Star of the Week in Kindergarten this week!




She is so excited about it! Her teacher tries to let all of the kids be the star of the week during the week of their birthdays. Since Emma's birthday is in July when they're not in school, it's during the week of her 1/2 birthday. She brought home a poster last Friday afternoon that she had to fill out all about herself and color. She brought that back today along with something that she either collects, or some sort of hobby of hers. She chose to bring all of her Build-A-Bears. We had a great time last night dressing them all up for a day at school and needed a huge shopping bag to get them all to school.

Tomorrow she gets to bring in her favorite book and her teacher will read it to the class. She is having a difficult time picking between Fancy Nancy's Splendiferous Christmas and Fancy Nancy: Bonjour Butterfly! What's a fancy girl to do (I ask my doll Maribelle!)?! :) If you know Fancy Nancy like I know Fancy Nancy, you will get that reference for sure!

For the Love of Hot Pink

I LOVE hot pink!!! That...and lime green! Check out this fabric that I found...it's the best of both worlds for me...I can't wait to get these two items listed in my shop!

Oh, and did I mention...I think Zebra print is pretty gosh darn cool too? Well, it is. :)

Keep a look out in my shop...this will be coming soon!


Check this out too...I just made this iPhone sleeve at the request of a client of mine! I love it and can't wait to get another one listed in my shop. I purchased some hot pink minky swirl for a blanket that I made for a very dear friend that just had an absolutely gorgeous little girl named Addison. I had some left over and I thought it would look so awesome with the zebra print. I was right...I LOVE it and I think I may have to make my Palm Pre a new sleeve as well!
