Nursery Projects + Crafts + Tutorials

Let's take a walk down memory lane and look at some items I made for Harlow's nursery while she was still in the womb.  I've updated her room a bit, and before I share it, I thought we could remember what it looked like over 2 1/2 years ago.  Maybe this will give you some ideas for a room you may be working on!

Embroidered Bird Nest Onesie + Monogrammed Makeup Bag

I made this little onesie for a friend's baby that's on the way!

This Bird Nest Alpha is from Planet Applique (click HERE for 20% off your first Planet Applique order).

I hand stitched a little bow onto the birdie's head.

The customer supplied the bag and picked the embroidery font.

The embroidery monogram is the Diamond font from Herrington Designs on etsy (order through ebates for 1% cash back).

I like the look of this monogram, but be aware that the design has a lot of stitches-- meaning it will cost customers more for this monogram font than for other fonts I generally use.

Have a smoking bug that's not running smoothly?  Maybe you need to replace the coil on your beetle with a coil that has a built-in resistor.

*This is what worked for us, but please consult a mechanic if you think there's something more serious going on.
