Etsy Custom Banners



I have been very busy the past few weeks making some custom fabric banners for Etsy shoppers.  Recently a mom asked me to make a banner to match her daughter's room.  She sent me photos of her room, her quilt, and the fabric she was planning to use to make a valence to match her daughter's quilt.






So off to the fabric store I went to find something to match.  I found the perfect prints to match!  I loved how the details in the fabric matched the details in the qulit- the squiggly lines and the polka dots. 



I sure hope Kadence likes her banner as much as I enjoyed making it!  Thanks to Stephanie and Kadence for letting me share their pictures!

Here are some other banners I've made- one for Vimmy's room, my best friend's son and honorary nephew.  I am visiting Coulmbus this weekend- I can't wait to see it in his room!  It is safari/jungle theme, so the monkeys should fit in well.  :)









And finally, Parker's banner... it is hard to see this one up close but it is also jungle theme, although I had to find more blue and brown colors to match this room.  This banner is near and dear to me, as it was my first etsy sale! (Tear!)  Thanks, Sherri for trusting me!  I sure hope Parker's mommy loves it!





I am in the process of making up some more banners, so I will post them here and on facebook when they are done.  I also have some photos to share of Samantha's first birthday party- it's theme was based on the Eric Carle book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."  It all turned out so cute!  Stay tuned...

Hello, Hello!  Well, what can I say, it has been a while.  Work has been crazy, life in general has been crazy, and therefore my blog has been deprived of my attention.  This weekend Josh and I are off to Yosemite for the first time!  I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am.  I also can't believe I haven't made it there yet in the 4 years I've lived in Cali.  I am ready for the adventure!  Pics to come soon, no worries!  In the mean time, check out Part 1 of Josh's video of his (slash our) adventures in the past few years- time flies but this is a reminder of how much fun we've been having!  Hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend!
