Chenille Baby Burp Cloths

So, here's the thing about burp cloths...I was given loads of them when I was pregnant with my first son, and by the time he was just a few days old, I already had some favorites (based on practicality, and of course, aesthetics! :)  Some were too thin to protect my shoulder, others too thick to gently wipe away baby's mouth--others were very practical, but just not very pretty.  Eventually, they all ended up stained with PolyViSol spit up (I had a baby with reflux), so most of them went in the trash!
I had a lot of fun making these sets (and they are so soft I had to make some for my baby-boy-on-the-way, too!).  100% Cotton on the front, backed with super-thick and very soft chenille.  They're soft for baby's face, thick enough to absorb, and well, rather pretty!  Each cloth is approximately 9x15", which is generous for wiping up baby messes, but small enough to fit easily in your diaper bag!

Looking for the Perfect Baby Shower Gift?



Oh, the conundrum--something from the registry, or a beautiful, unique gift that you hand-picked yourself?  Of course, if the mother-to-be has registered with Tweet by the Sea, there's no dilemma at all (we do registries, by the way!), but even if she hasn't, consider this baby shower gift set in the beautiful Heirloom Citrine collection.  No mother can ever have too many burp cloths (especially if she has a baby with reflux like I did!), and the blanket is perfect for baby to cuddle with in the stroller or car seat.  It would work nicely paired with something from Mommy's registry, like bottles or lap pads, so you can be sure you're hitting all the marks!

Two New Stroller Blankets & Burp Cloths

I've just added two new stroller blankets--a gender-neutral one, with the lovely Aqua Snail Scallop fabric from Tula Pink's Prince Charming collection, as well as a modern one for baby girl from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms collection.  The two generously-sized burp cloths are the "Windy Day" fabric from Backyard Baby.

Stroller Blanket for Baby Girl

I am very excited to be contributing to the shop this week!  I have been dying to get involved in some creative projects for Tweet by the Sea, and I have just added this new stroller blanket to the shop!  It would be the perfect shower or new baby gift, and it has a sweet and soft cotton print on one side, with cuddly, warm minky on the other.  Thanks for taking a look!

Seasonal Decor Has Now Arrived in the Shop!

I love my sister dearly, but she is always making me look bad--not only does she somehow juggle 16-month-old twins, but she is now displaying her heaps of talent by adding some BEAUTIFUL seasonal decor to the shop!  Maybe I should just take advantage and have her come decorate my house for Fall????  Here are some photos--check out the Etsy shop to purchase!

Baby Bedding in Team Colors

So, we happen to live in Florida--a state known for college football rivalries, and just about everyone I know is geared up for the games to start this coming week!  If your household is anything like mine, Dad's dream for his baby's nursery involves only one thing--team colors!  Mom may be on board, or she might like the idea of a more subtle way to tie in team loyalties.  So, just in time for football season, we are now offering crib sets in school color coordinates.  These particular listings are inspired by the colors of Florida State University (my Alma Mater--Go 'Noles!) and the University of Florida.  Of course, this idea would work with any color palette, which can be achieved with the personal design attention of our team!  Enjoy this week's games!

Garnet and Gold--inspired by FSU

Blue and Orange--inspired by U of F

Toddler Bedding? Yes, please!

After numerous requests from prospective clients, my mom is now offering twin-size and full-size bedding through Tweet by the Sea!  One mother of toddler boys just ordered this scrumptious set, made from the Peak Hour collection by Kellie Wulfsohn.  The fabric is lightweight enough not to be stifling, but very durable and sooo bright and cheery!  Tweet by the Sea will feature twin size and full size duvet covers, as well as pillowcases, standard shams, and European shams.  Of course, clients can choose from any of the fabrics in our shop for this bedding, but this one is so cute, I just had to show it off here!


 
 We just moved our two-year-old son into the big boy bed (serving as model furniture above), and ordered the PB Kids blue stripe duvet before my mom started making the twin-size bedding.  We love the duvet we have, BUT can't wait to add an adorable Tweet by the Sea quilt, throw pillows, and valances to his room in the coming weeks--can't wait!  Pictures to follow!
