Texas vs. Alabama

What are the odds that I worked on these 2 baby bundles AT THE SAME TIME and ON THE WEEK OF THE BCS NATIONAL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP?

It's true. I did.

Must have been something in the air as my hands were full of crimson and burnt orange just a stitching away.

Both boys.

One bundle was headed to Bossier City, Louisiana and one to good ole Soddy Daisy, TN.

Meet Kale. His parents are die hard Alabama fans. Mama has a strong affinity for polka dots.

I think houndstooth works quite nicely next to her love of the dot, don't you?

Kinda classy, super Bear Bryant, and extra funky fun if you ask me.

I went with a black and white gingham lining for the classic baby feel.

You just can't go wrong with gingham.

Then there's Travis Ray.

In the designing process, I learned that the game room in this little guy's home is completely decked out in complete University of Texas fashion.

And I was also touched to hear of the wonderful story of his grandfather. His name was Ray. He passed away the week his parents found out Travis was to be a boy. Travis' mama wanted to name Travis after her dad and thought it fitting that this tribute be on his diaper bag too.

I loved that she chose to do this.

I love even more this part of my job.

{The behind the scenes meaning for special things. I am honored to soak in each client's details and strive to give my best to put a smile on their faces with the finished product.}
Travis' mom also opted to complete her bundle set with a coordinating changing pad for her little guy.

And yeah, just like Kale, Travis Ray can do a little polka dot too!

Traivs' dad already has his nickname ligned up! T. Ray it is! And for a limited time, with purchase a coordinating changing pad, clients receive free changing pad personalization! Perfect!

Oh, but the houndstooth did, in fact, prevail that January 7th evening.

Poor Colt McCoy.

But little Kale didn't mind. His unborn bleacher seat was being primed and ready for his national championship team with a newborn monogrammed diaper cover! These are the perfect ensemble for newborn pictures.

All snuggled up and sleeping on the belly with a monogrammed rumpus up in the air... SNAP!

A picture that will last a lifetime.

And Kale Preston had to have something to dribble on too.
What's that?

Gray and white pinstripes.

Um, yeah.

They do look great right up against that crimson, don't they?

And a Roll Tide on the hiney...

Thanks {mollyemade}!

You didn't actually think a designer, seamstress, and mama to 2 boys would let {mollyemade} forget the couture boy baby, did you?!

So there it is.

My BCS Championship week.

And the final score?

University of Texas:

University of Alabama:

The diaper bag and all the extras to go with was the rave of the baby shower! Not to mention quite possibly the highlight of the pregnancy. Man, this is awesome. We love it.

Kenny still can't get over the irony of it all!

A Southern Thing

I have a lot of clients in and about the southern region of the United States.
And in the south, we like names.
Yes, we like names so much that we want to be called by all of them.
One of our babysitter's for the boys is named Taylor Raye, for example.
One of Eli's good pals from church is John Mark for even more southern proof.

And Jack Watson's mama wanted him to be called just that.

Jack Watson

A client of mine ordered a baby bundle for this mama for a baby shower gift. His nursery colors are blue and black children's toile.

My client chose to off set the toile with a funky yet classic twist on this black and blue color palette.

The black and white stripes jazzes up the toile and the blue and black gingham lends itself to the classical theme of the nusery toile.

Free motion top quilting in wavy swirls just to mix it up a bit.
And for the backing, my client selected a soft minky dot. k.Mac baby blankets come with your choice of a coordinating satin backing as babies love the soft satin feel or you can opt for a coordinating minky dot to add a heavier weight to the blanket. And babies love the raised dot for a change in texture feel. My blankets are sized so that they are roomy enough to completely bundle a wee one up for the 1st year of life. Then the blanket becomes justtherightsize for the security blanket a little one cAnNoT sleep without. Just ask my niece, Mollye.
The nice part about k.Mac's baby bundles is that you can choose how you want to bundle your baby gift. This particular client selected to do a baby blanket with a coordinating burp cloth set.

Other baby bundles combinations can include:

1. diaper bag with matching changing pad
2. diaper bag with matching changing pad, mommy wallet, and burp set
3. burp cloth set and matching appliqued and personalized onsesies (set of 3)
   That's the beauty of purchasing customized and couture baby gifts.
   You can make it exactly what you want it to be.
   Just like Jack Watson.

Completely unique.
An individual.
Set apart from the rest.

Double names may, in fact, be prominent in the south, but giving exactly what you want as a baby gift doesn't have to be thanks to k.Mac!
