Lots of Spring Blooms!

Spring has sprung at Ladybug Bowtique, even if we're still six weeks away from it, according to that darned groundhog! It doesn't really matter here in New England what Punxsutawney Phil sees or doesn't see. We have winter until the end of March, and sometimes into April.

On April 26, 2002, Sara was born and it snowed that night that I was giving birth. And on May 18th of that year, it snowed again. So whatEVER...

Here's what's blooming in my Etsy shop right now. These sweet clips are made with wool felt- they are so soft! The colors are vibrant and pretty. I can make these in any color combination if you don't see your color choice in my store.

Thanks for looking!

Here, fishy fishy!

I remember this cute little goldfish stuffed animal that Julia was given when she was born. She used to call it "Blub Blub Fishy." Anyway.



Check out this Little Fishy collaboration by some of the DillyDally ladies! There's some highly sought-after goldfish fabric by Heather Ross in the brother/sister sets. So cute!

DillyDally is having a Wild Thyme!

DillyDally's first launch of the year features fabrics from the Wild Thyme collection by Carolyn Gavin. Come see all of the beautiful listings!


Here are a few of my contributions. I had fun with this one!

There will be a few more listings popping up from me toward the end of the week. The headband shown above is a new item- it is an interchangeable fabric-covered headband. I wanted to find a way to cover a headband with fabric and still be able to clip a bow or flower to it- and I found the perfect way to do it! There's a little hidden fabric pocket on the side to slip the clip into, and since it's hidden, the headband can be worn by itself without anything showing. My friend Amber (my fellow Brownie Leader) clued me into this and I couldn't be more excited! Thanks, Amber!

Would you take a minute and vote for me?

My handpainted ladybug tote was chosen as a top-ten favorite for The Handmade Gift Guide photo contest. How fun! Would you take a moment and go vote for me on the blog? There's a little green box where you can select Ladybug Bowtique. Thanks for your votes!

Feeling it...

DillyDally's first launch of the year is next week- I'm excited about it because it's a fabric launch, with each designer using some of the Wild Thyme fabric by Carolyn Gavin. Here's a sneak peek of one of my contributions.


These cute little fabric flowers can be clipped onto a fabric headband, and I'm excited that I found a great way to make the headband interchangeable, without any loop or fastener or anything showing. It's very cool! Search DillyDally starting the 19th to see what we've come up with!

The year is winding down...

I can't believe it has been almost two months since I've blogged. I admittedly got very burnt out right around the first of October and took a huge mental break. My orders were very plentiful, thank you to my wonderful customers! But it got to the point where it was taking four to five weeks for some orders to go out. As blessed as I am to have a popular website, it does take a toll on my home and my family.

The break was well worth it for me and gave me new energy! My faithful followers will be pleased to know I am reopening on January 1!

The design group I am part of (DillyDally) is getting ready to launch around the third week of January. Exciting things are happening!

For now, here's a new listing on Etsy. A bow bouquet stuffed with goodies for a little wild child!
