Stephanie For Emmy

This weekend, I decided to take the plunge on two adventures.

First, Dan and I decided to reveal what we will be naming our daughter. Emerson, or Emmy for short! No, we don't have a middle name picked out yet. For some reason we both instantly fell in love with Emerson, but haven't had that reaction for any middle names.

Second, I decided to finally open an Esty shop. I've been toying with the idea for awhile now, several months in fact, since I found out I was pregnant and started using my crafting powers for all things baby related. You see, I don't think having a baby means you suddenly need to compromise on style. My daughter will spit up and drool, I get that, but I can at least have cute accessories for when she does. At first, I was sewing these accessories, burp cloths and bibs to be exact, for myself. Then, my sister-in-law requested a few sets, and I had multiple people tell me that when they're ready to have kids, they want in on the action. Hoping there are more people like them out there, I decided to select a few fabrics that I love, and sew some sets to share with the world.


The first print is a personal favorite. I'm not sure why, but I just love bright yellow lemons on baby stuff. Maybe it's because I've never looked good in yellow that I just love what I can't have. But now I can have it, because what child won't look adorable in that bib? This is a great option if you're not sure if a friend is having a boy or girl, but you still want to give her something unqiue.


Next up is for all the mamas of boys out there who want an adorable way to protect baby's outfit, and her own! This cactus print is so precious I may actually have to use it with Emmy too. If I put a bow on her head, people will still know she's a girl, right?



The last print is a gorgeous watercolor floral. I love this print and wouldn't mind throwing that cloth over my shoulder, which is my number one goal in these creations. I'll just be waiting for Emmy to spit up in public so I have an excuse to pull it out of the bag, but even if she doesn't, I'll make sure she's rocking her bandanna bib anyway.
