First Batch of Dumpling Dolls!

Well look who we have here! Clockwise from the top: Charlie Crackman, Betsy, Frannie, and Emmaline. I'll be putting them up for sale in my Etsy shop at various times starting tonight. Catch these little babies while they're hot!

Darling Dinky Dumpling

Darling Dinky Dumpling,
Boil 'im in a pot
Give 'im sugar,
Cover 'im in butter
An' eat 'im while e's hot!

Something I picked up from a great grandparent when I was a child, but the reason for this post is that I have been working on some of my dumpling softies to put up in my Etsy shop.

They were named for my Brother, whom I gave the superhero moniker "Mr. Dumpling" as a child when he was in his kindergarten karate phase (the phase he never got out of, he had the trophies to prove it). They all share his wonderful spirit, his sense of humor in some, and I like to think that with each one I make, some little part of his memory lives on.

Hopefully I can get a few pics taken and get them up here to show off in the next few days!

Snagged a Treasury for TeamBluegrass! WooT!

Some of that insomnia paid off! I was able to catch a treasury on Etsy to showcase some of the floral/flower-themed items of my fellow TeamBluegrass teammates!

Dumplings and such.

I've been working on a new and more affordable style of softie to put in my shop and yesterday I believe I may have found a decent match, because it is hellaciously cute but not so cute that it will cause me to lose some of my street cred, (because you know, street cred is tres important and we can't be flitting about without any in our pockets, now, can we?). Okay, maybe they are that cute and I never had said cred in the first place.

They remind me of a mix between onigiri (rice balls) and awesome.

Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot

Here's a set themed for little boys that includes a bib, burp cloth, and set of 3 weenie beanies. It can be altered for a girl by substituting a headband in lieu of the beanies.

It's a summer garden themed set for baby girls! I'm seriously considering making a little skirt out of the red polka dot fabric (and maybe a set of booties...?)

If I make those up, conceivably, all a parent would need is a onesie in a solid color and they'd have a ready-made ensemble!

The Original Kellibeans Baby: Chloe Bella Cecilia

Albeit a week late (fashionably so!) and after a heck of a hard time for her (ruptured blood vessels in her eyes and a broken collar bone during delivery) and her poor mother(post-delivery complications), little Chloe has made her appearance as the first grandbaby/diva in my family, and we couldn't be happier. Ten fingers, ten toes, healthy & happy!


Here she is at one week old in one of her Kellibeans bibs and diva-esque bows. From the look on her face and the way she's holding her hand, I believe she is just about ready to tell us she is in dire need of a manicure that is about 9 months overdue. Watch out for this one, she is going to be S-P-I-C-Y!

Bibs!

These bibs are reversible, and have magnetic closures sewn up inside the bib so little fingers (and mouths) can't get to them. It's like getting two bibs in one!
