Current Fabric Selections

Choose from the options below (you can absolutely mix and match!) or anything you find on the web!  Please dialogue with us via selenafettig@hotmail.com, as some selections are cotton twill, and better suited for changing pad covers than sheets.  We look forward to working with you!

Beautiful New Bold Graphics

In case you hadn't heard, yellow and gray are SO HOT right now, and chevron is holding its own, as well!  Why not create a bold and modern nursery for your baby boy or girl in these fabrics now offered in our shop?  Added to our list of products now offered are diaper stackers, valances, changing pad covers, and more!  Don't see it?  Convo us about it!

And...I Just Can't Resist

Since I missed Easter, Happy Easter from my two boys and the entire Tweet by the Sea family!

Shower Invitations

So sorry that I have been MIA on our blog!  We have been working to integrate our blog into our website, but have been having some technical glitches, so in the meantime, I will continue to post here.

In addition to our new printable birth announcements, please check out our customizable shower invitations.  We are focusing on baby shower (perfect for our little area of the Etsy world), but many of these can be customized for bridal showers, as well.  Stay tuned also for new fabric offerings, as well as some pics (finally!) of my new little one's Tweet by the Sea Nursery!

Digital Birth Announcements

Since Tweet by the Sea has now entered the world of digital printable files, what better item to offer in our shop than baby birth announcements?  These have been so much fun to create--when my little addition was born in October, I wanted something clean, modern, and stylish to announce his world debut.  Now, I hope I can offer the same to other new moms!  Keep checking the shop for new designs each week!

We're On Pinterest!

Digital Paper

While I'm on a roll (two days in row!), I just want to mention this Etsy shop with which I am now OBSESSED.  I never understood the role of digital paper (as I am not a professional "printable" creator), but now that I have a need for it (see printables post below), I am absolutely in love with Kylie Healey Designs.  (http://www.etsy.com/shop/KylieHealeyDesigns?ref=seller_info)  She has digital paper, clip art, and more, and she is a joy to work with. Thank you, Kylie, and prepare to see quite a few downloads from us in the future!
(By the way, does this post have enough parenthetical writing??)

Printable Monthly/Weekly Chores Checklist

So...I have been MIA for almost three months, and the reason is right here:

On October 19th, we welcomed our second sweet baby boy into the family, and between nursing him, changing his diapers, and chasing around our two-year-old, I have barely been able to keep up with the shop, let alone blog about it!  No one told me how difficult it would be to divide my attention between the two kids in these first few months, but I feel incredibly blessed to be doing it!

Which brings me to the reason for today's post:
I have now added downloadable files (as well as a printed version) of an organizational creation that kept me sane after the birth of my first son (and I'm hoping will have the same effect now!)  We are introducing Weekly/Monthly Chore Charts and Cleaning Checklists into Tweet by the Sea, and I'm hoping these will be at least somewhat helpful to new moms (or housewives, working wives, or stay-at-home dads) like me!

As a new mom, I wanted to be ready to host visitors at a moment's notice! However, I didn't want to spend all day, every day cleaning the house and missing out on spending time with my sweet bundle. The arrival of baby #2 six weeks ago made this task even more challenging! Thus, this simple checklist was born in order to help me organize my days with a few simple cleaning tasks during the week so that the house was always at least "presentable" (if not spotless!)

If you follow the suggested list, you should spend about an hour or two (depending on the size of your home) each day cleaning and doing household chores (I usually try to complete them in the morning before naps so that we have the afternoon free, but many tasks can also be completed during naps, if you don't want the precious time to yourself :).

If you prefer, we're also offering blank lists that can be completely filled in (and thus, customized) by you!  Please continue to watch the shop for more downloads for grocery lists, weekly meal planning, and a complete "Company's Coming!" cleaning checklist.  I truly hope these help someone else the way they have helped me!
