Baby Stella's Nursery

My sweet and wonderful friend just gave birth to beautiful baby Stella.  Stella's mommy is creative and sophisticated, and she chose to decorate the nursery in bold black and white graphics with hot pink accents.  My mom was lucky enough to create her bedding--here is the stunning result!

Baby Shower & Fabric Decorating

My creative and very talented sister just had the pleasure of co-hosting a baby shower for her good friend (and Tweet by the Sea client) Kristen.  Kristen is expecting a baby boy in March, and as a music therapist, she wanted to go with a music-themed nursery (but she does not want it to be over-the-top!).  Finding a beautiful guitar print on (where else?) Etsy, she chose the precious Backyard Baby collection by Patty Sloniger for her bedding because the colors matched perfectly.

Here are some of the creative ways that Mallory used fabric scraps from her bedding and her own ribbon garland designs to decorate the shower.  Rock on!

Sweet baby "A" will be welcomed in March!

Rock on, baby!

New Fabric Collection--Magic Garden by Sabine Reinhart

One of the jobs I do for Tweet by the Sea Designs is to put together palettes of beautiful, modern, and unique fabrics for clients to choose for their custom baby bedding.  This means that I look at a lot of fabrics every day--and I mean A LOT.  This new collection by Sabine Reinhart, in the blue palette, is one of the most stunning I have seen in some time.  It reminds me of tropical days in Florida!  Please, oh please, someone choose this fabric for something so that I can live vicariously through you...
as always, products are customizable through our shop on Etsy!

Make Way for Spring

October to New Year's is one of my absolute favorite times of year--but as soon as January 2nd hits, I'm ready to get rid of all things winter and to get ready for Spring!  (Can you tell I'm a Florida girl??)  Although our chilly weather (50 degrees, ugh!) may last a little longer, fortunately the Spring fabric lines are already making their arrivals.  Check out these beautiful new palettes from Patty Young:
