There's a New Kind of Baby Boutique in Town: Babytique!

Expecting Moms and Dads who like surprises are going to fall in love with this special place in North Dallas. Announcing the arrival of Babytique, a new kind of baby boutique in North Dallas. 

Babytique offers the most amazing baby registry system especially designed for Moms who are waiting to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl. Their NotFindingOut registry is a unique system where you choose the registry items for both a baby boy and a girl. The shop contacts your doctor directly to find out which list you really need. Only your doctor and the shop know your secret, and you can bet, neither is going to let it slip. And then, when your bundle of joy arrives, your gender appropriate gifts will be waiting for you. 

Thanks Babytique for making one of life's best surprises fun again!

Babytique is having a Grand Opening Celebration all this week. 

In addition to these fun events all week, Saturday will be a big blowout with a MDA fundraiser, a visit from the Dallas Fire Department, a raffle, swag bags and a local showcase with handmade baby products from the EtsyDallas team. I am delighted to help Babytique celebrate their Grand Opening Saturday, August 20 from 11-2 pm.  

Welcome to My Happy Place

Being in front of my sewing machine is for me,

the happiest place to be.

(What a cornball, I am. I know).

First the ice caps, and now this...

This ice sculpture set up along the Dallas skyline in 108 degrees is literally steaming hot!

Baby, It's Hot Outside! Free Shipping Sale!

Well, we have hit 110+ degrees here. We are breaking records left and right. And the electric company is threatening rolling blackouts. Ugh. 

So, what should we do? How about...close the blinds, unplug all the non-essential appliances, grab a popsicle, and do the shopping online! Let the mailman brave the heat, and I'll pay the shipping. 

Use coupon code REGALSHIP to receive free shipping on all items in my shop through August 14, 2011.

Now that's cool.

Meet Mr. Roboto

Meet Mr. Roboto. I spotted him at IndieGenius last week. I seriously love this tin guy all decked out in pink with his shiny yellow head. If he is still there, when I work the shop on Saturday, it is his destiny to be mine! If he's not, I'll just have to make googly eyes at his picture like a love sick teenie bopper. 

I've had a thing for robots for a long, long time. This guy is major inspiration for a robot softie that I hope to create soon.
