Undie Time!

After talking with the mom behind Violet Sky for a bit.. we figured out what would work best to showcase her shop.

COTTON UNDIES! :)

This is the first pair of homemade undies i've seen (at least in person) and I have to say.. they are CUTE! They are FUNTIONAL! And the price is decent too! :)

And it ALWAYS helps me to know that i'm supporting a family, and not just some commercial store.

The product itself..
We were sent 1 for each child. Zoe (as you can see) loved hers, and they fit VERY well.
Alivia (5 years old) likes hers also, she says "they're cute". :) She's a big animal lover, so the monkeys fit her personality quite well.

The larger pair for Jazmine (6) were loose.. so for now she'll be wearing them as bloomers under a dress (or, if she's not ok with that, we'll save them for next year).
So the sizing is a tad off on the bigger ones.. but being a WAHM myself, i know that larger sizing can be tricky.. because no child is exactly the same as another.. and she's super skinny.
We'll pull them back out this fall when we open the bags of bigger clothes. :)

A big thank you to the store for letting me check out your product.. for producing something that's usable for any child (not just geared toward babies or big kids).. and a product that won't break the bank.

Sensations

a "new" store (really a branch from one that used to be) was willing to show me a new product.

POPSICLE HOLDERS from Colie'sGreenSensations!

i got 3 in the mail.. one for each of my girls. LOVE the prints.

Jazmine liked the duckies, Alivia is a total horse freak, and Zoe is into the ladybugs.

soon as it got warm outside, we tested them out!

they are fairly easy to slip on (star 1), soft and flexible for little hands (star 2)..

and i LOVE the idea.. little hands don't get cold (star 3).

the only thing is the girls sometimes have trouble pushing the popsicle up, so they take off the cover about halfway through.

i'm thinking that if it were more like a sleeve instead of a holder, it could be just right. :)

(make it shorter, with no closed end, just for them to grasp)

GREAT idea.. love the concept.. just a little tweaking and it could be perfect. :)

thank you Colie'sGreenSensations for the chance to check out your product!

Cozy AND Cute

EVERY child needs something to cuddle in.

And for Blankets by Lisa, it's what she loves to do!

She has MANY different options for prints, and sizes, and textures. And working with her.. I was able to completely customize a blanket for a review!

My girls actually "fought" over this one. :)

And she even threw in a little surprise.. a matching mini throw pillow! :) A little history.. my 3 year old, Zoe, loves Minnie Mouse. So when i was perusing the print options for this one, I had her on my lap looking at the prints, and she fell in love with this one.

Custom sized, quality material, and fantastic sewing skills.

The customer service speaks for itself.. all around, a wonderful shop.

Check out Blankets by Lisa for your child, a child you know, OR a gift for any occasion!

mmmmmMistical

Misty behind Mistical Arts decided to try a new product.. on me! ;)

Adult mittens! I got to look through her yarn (photo) and we came up with a color combo.

And in less than a week, they were made and in (or should i say, on) my hands!

They are SUPER cozy.

And in Michigan.. you definitely need warmth around this time of year. :)

Being her first pair of mittens.. I would say.. the size needs a bit of tweaking, and they could use elastic around the wrists (though it's not necessary, it's recommended). BUT this also leaves a LOT of room for improvement.. which she's already working on!

More new fun items coming out at her store. Check out Mistical Arts on Facebook!

Roobies

This one was a long time in coming, but not by any reason that could have been changed.

Life happens. :)

BUT! The product turned out GREAT!

After my long awaited anticipation, I got a package in the mail that just tickled my toes. :)

Dr. Seuss dress for my little lady had finally come!

Now I know you all have felt this way about a package before. :) You stalk the mailbox, send email inquiries.. track the package online a million times.. and it's so worth it when you finally hold the package, ready to rip into it. :)

That's how it was for me with this beautifully made product from Taberoobies. My daughter loved it so much, she wore it for 2 of the 3 days at Grandma's house (she just had to show her). :)

My favorite aspect of this dress is.. well.. lol. I have 2. I love the hemline (the contrasting colors and prints are great together, and it leaves a nice finish). And I love the waistband. Instead of sewing on an actual waistband, and making it harder to get into, it was sewn onto the front, making for versatile sizing, and fun bow in the back. :)

Thank you Taberoobies for this fun, flexible product. :)

And not just because of the well made product, but also because of the great customer service, I would recommend this store to anyone.. much more than just kids clothing!

Peace!

First off, I want to say.. I love these items. :)A pretty new store sent me a fun package.. pretty much a complete surprise.

And they are just SO great.

Every single item in the store is made from a recycled material. They set they sent me? A match set from wool sweaters!

PeacedTogether4U is a wonderful shop. I've gotten to talk to both of the ladies behind this.. they have amazing customer service.. they are willing to work with you.. very open to trying different things. :)

My matching set included arm warmers, two sets of slippers (1 for me, 1 for my 4 year old Alivia) including 2 brooches, and a hair clip.

All very well made! And (as you can see from one of the photos) my little girl needed new slippers really bad.. so this came just at the right time. :)

My feet always get cold in my

sewing room.. drafty window, I live in Michigan.. it's the coldest room in the house. These slippers, on top of my socks, kept my feet PERFECTLY

warm and comfortable.. NOT sweaty in the least.

And the style of this hair clip is good to use for kids AND adults.. i love it and so do my girls. :)

Thank you PeacedTogether4U for sending me some great products!

I suggest you readers check it out, too! There are more items in their shop that were not sent to me.. go see what there is in store!

How Cheeky!

I've been friends with this mama for a while now.. and when she decided to branch out from cloth diapers to also making children's clothing, I was automatically interested in seeing her new product.

She made my 6 year old a long sleeve dress. She dropped it off a little before Christmas.. so this became a Christmas review. :) Which is ALWAYS fun!

And when I do a review, I always check out the product thoroughly.. inside, outside, the structure and construction of it.. i really check it out!

I love all the different prints and panels in this dress.. i love the length, the style, the coverage, and the ease of use (pull on, wash, dry.. doesn't wrinkle..)

The style and the material make it something I would want more of!

Knowing that it's well made AND my princess was happy.. made this product one that i can truly boast about.

Thank you, Beth at Cheeky Threds, for the opportunity to write about your shop. :)
