Peek-a-Boo Bear and Busy Bees

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

I am really enjoying my vacation currently, but I just had to post...I just received a picture from a mom of hernursery with her custom quilt clips that I made for her with the baby's quilt, and I wanted to share it. I thought the clips turned out so very cute, but when hung up with the quilt, the whole set is just so precious!


Take a look:
The quilt is Neiman Marcus' Boogie Baby Peek-a-Boo Bear Blanket. I painted the bees in a bright yellow and white with black accents. The bear head is in nutmeg brown and country twill and layered with ears and adorable little black eyes...too cute!

9 inch Wall Letter Initial Hair Barrette Holders

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Lately I have been creating several initials for little girls and adding ribbons to the bottoms of the letters for hair barrettes.

This purple toned and white flower initial turned out just beautiful! I used wisteria, light lavendar, and dark purple (violet pansy) for the tones, and then white and light green to show them off.

The mix of the simple daisy and bits of polka dots really make this 9 inch initial K stand out. The light purple sheer ribbon with white polka dots really compliments the entire piece.

At the bottom of each ribbon strand is a 1 1/2 inch wooden disc to help weigh down the ribbon. I painted them wisteria, light lavendar, dark purple, and white to accent the colors in the K.

What is the purpose of a hair barrette holder? To hold all of the adorable hair barrettes and clippies your little girl has such an abundance of! Simply clip the barrettes to the ribbon, and they stay snugly in place, easy to view to choose the perfect barrettes to compliment her outfits.

Remember, every hair barrette holder from Little Elephant Company includes a FREE hair barrette from Sweet Madelynne Designs! This is a $3.99 value, and even includes the basic $9.99 hair barrette holders. Please note that the hair barrette is chosen at random by me.
And don't forget to add a custom painted nail cover (aka drawer knobs) to hang the letter by! Add a simple one for $3.95 or a more detailed one for $6.95...see below picture.

Are you ready to order one for your little princess? These run between $32.95 and $59.95, depending on how detailed you would like it. All of the ones shown in this blog post are the $32.95 designs. Your letter will come with either 3 or 4 ribbons, depending on the letter. Just contact me with your color and design choices, and I will create one for you! Perfect for birthday, Christmas, and just because.
