<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am so excited to bring you a completely brand new item in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RockPaperStitch?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">Rock Paper Stitch</a> shop.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Weaving Looms for Kids!</b></span> </div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My dad started designing these a few years ago, but they just didn't seem quite right to me at the time. Much of the struggle came from trying to stain the maple wood. We decided to use a non-toxic, kid-safe paint this time and the colors are dazzling. (So if your toddler starts gnawing on it, the paint won't harm them.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I intend to create a whole line of wonderful colors. Until then we are starting with 4 colors in pink, purple, blue (not shown) and the natural finish.</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As far as I know, there are no wooden looms in fun colors kids like. Other looms on the market are unfinished pine or fancy cardboard looms made of plastic. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1Hb2REVdjtZKq8K_HTltzz1BK_DSBx9VJ2Xm0jcACO35qEG90vaMLAV5x57qCIYdG7eXh_wiUvIIua6IY5kg58kfUP0ouvFrcZa79YwxWpw7vXMsUL3hsBdzK1jzFG3_ONNIa5xg_a0/s1600/Sneak+Peak+Loom+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1Hb2REVdjtZKq8K_HTltzz1BK_DSBx9VJ2Xm0jcACO35qEG90vaMLAV5x57qCIYdG7eXh_wiUvIIua6IY5kg58kfUP0ouvFrcZa79YwxWpw7vXMsUL3hsBdzK1jzFG3_ONNIa5xg_a0/s1600/Sneak+Peak+Loom+3.jpg" height="226" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What's even better about my looms is all of the wood we use is locally and sustainably sourced, with no toxic chemical treatments sprayed on the wood.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Each loom will come in it's own box as a kit to teach kids how to weave. Included in the box will be the handmade loom in the color of your choice, a weaving and small tapestry needle, a handmade booklet explaining how to weave and some yarn to start the first project. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here is an example of using yarn and fabric strips to create a piece of wall art or placemat.</span> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Additional yarn packs will also be available. Each pack will include a coordinating mix of yarn and ribbon. Since many people send my looms as gifts to family in another part of the country, this will make it easy for gift giving. It also brings the price of the loom down, in case you want to provide your own yarn.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You will find my kids weaving kits and yarn packs in my shop in a week or two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Wholesale Information:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In addition to selling these in my etsy shop, I am also offering these for wholesale buyers. If you are interested in wholesaling my looms you can send me an email from my <a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/00096600513360202618" target="_blank">profile</a>. </span><br />

I'm a day late for Valentine's Day, which would have made this the perfect post for such a day. The looks in this collection can be worn for any day, anyhow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Red Letter Day refers to the making of a calendar, when they were made in black and white, with the holidays printed in red. I think all of these looks are special and deserve their own "red letter day". </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since it's been awhile since I've posted anything I figured people might be wondering what's up. As you may remember from a few months back I explained my struggle in raising my daughter. Back then we just found out she is high needs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Recently, two people mentioned to us getting her evaluated for sensory processing disorder. At 10 months she's still a bad sleeper. We still have to help her fall asleep and she wakes frequently. She also dislikes diaper changes, baths and clothes being pulled over her head. She's always in motion and is unable to just sit and relax. It takes a lot of energy to keep up with her. Although we are seeing improvement in the day to day as she gets older.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One huge accomplishment we were recently able to do was to get her to sleep in her bed. Since birth she had been sleeping in her swing or sometimes her bouncer chair. Then she caught the flu and woke every 15min- 1hr, and continued this pattern for two weeks. Out of desperation I decided to try something new. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Yeah, this looks more like us.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In her room we use a Montessori style floor bed. This allows us to lay next to her and do what we can to keep her calm until she falls asleep. This includes reading books, singing to her and feeding her a bottle. It can take anywhere from 30min- 1hr for her to fall asleep. Then she usually stays asleep for 2- 2 1/2 hours at a time. So far some nights have been every hour. After 4 or 5am she is still difficult to keep asleep, at which time she goes back into her bouncer chair. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The bed is working very well. Even with the hourly wakings it's not as bad as it used to be. In the past we had to bounce or aggressively rock her to sleep. This would take 15min or more when she woke up. Now I just give her a bottle. It's the only thing that comforts her enough to fall back to sleep when she's in the bed, but it only takes a few minutes. By morning I feel a little more rested than I used to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What does that mean for the shop? Most of my day is caring for my little one. I work here and there as she allows me, but my pace is not where it used to be pre-baby days. Even if things get silent around here I want you to know I'm still here and still working. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Currently, I've been working on more star and heart pillows. They're coming along slowly, but they're coming along. I also have plans to stock more baby bibs and birthday banners. Then hopefully by the end of all that I'll be able to work out some new items. :)</span>Rock Paper Stitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096600513360202618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355858516784680009.post-58928129271664249232013-10-31T17:51:00.001-05:002013-10-31T17:52:32.679-05:00Happy Halloween<div style="text-align: center;">

I thought the really amazing costumes deserved their own post. Here is a list of some whimsical couture costumes made by some very talented seamstresses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Fairytale Jubilee</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The attention to detail and luxurious materials in these costumes would make any child feel right at home in their character. What's so great about these costumes is they grow with your child. Each costume will most likely fit for 2-3 years.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Any little girl would feel like a princess in these dresses.</span></span></span><br />

Rock Paper Stitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096600513360202618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355858516784680009.post-43470239066497831872013-09-23T15:57:00.000-05:002013-09-23T15:57:24.560-05:00Playing Dress Up<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What were you for Halloween as a kid? I can remember being a bear, a black cat, a witch and I especially loved the mermaid costume my mom made. Everyone was impressed with how it came out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've decided to start a tradition of costume making for my daughter. My husband wants her to be a bear because he always calls her Pookie. I want her to be a mermaid because I named her after an old Little Mermaid video I have (pre-Disney). We'll see what I actually have time to make. It's hard enough keeping up with the shop and a very demanding 6 month old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the meantime I've discovered a few handmade costumes for you to enjoy. There are SO MANY tutu costumes for girls. Although I added a few, I didn't want to flood my page with tutu costumes. If that is what you are looking for you'll find one in any character.</span><br />

We always call her that and she responds to it more than Marina.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Anyway... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We always wondered why things were never getting easier for us, like everyone keeps saying will happen. She still gets up about 5 times a night, can't fall asleep without us bouncing her, and gets bored or overstimulated really easily. Then my Aunt did some research and discovered she is a high needs baby. I thought this article about <a href="http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/fussy-baby/high-need-baby/12-features-high-need-baby" target="_blank">12 Features of a High Needs Baby</a> on Dr Sears' website was very informative.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">She has every one of those traits. It can be difficult to get through the day when she always wants to be held and walked around, when she gets upset and it takes a loooong time to calm her down, or she goes from smiling into frowning and crying in an instant. Still, she has good moments too, when she'll lay on her play mat for half an hour and I can actually get something done or when we're doing something right and she smiles and smiles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Getting through the day is much easier now. Instead of thinking
about this crying, fussing baby, I always try to look at the world through her eyes to find out what she
needs. We've always done that, but now that I don't have this expectation that maybe next month she'll be a normal baby, I can address her needs a little better. It's easier to deal with knowing that some day things not only will get better, but we'll have this amazing, insightful, energetic kid. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And then there are moments like this where I just can't stop laughing:</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sorry for the silence over here. Little Marina is 3 months old now and I'm still trying to find enough time in my day to do everything that needs to get done. She's a fussy one, always needing to do something, and it has to change quickly. Either she wants to be held, sit in her chair, lay on her play mat (where she tries really hard to roll over) or bounced on my exercise ball. The only chance I get is during her naps, which never seem long enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At least for the summer my husband is off. (He's a teacher.) We've come up with a rotation so we each get a day to work and a day to take care of her. It's so nice getting time to work without worrying about entertaining her all day. I enjoy the days I have her so much more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've begun to catch up on re-listing some items in my shop. Items with embroidery will be back up in a week. I gave my mom my sewing machine to take to a repairman and I forgot to get it back from her last time I saw her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since my days are limited I don't know how often I will post. I prefer to spend my time working in my sewing room than sitting on a computer, so that is where you'll find me. Orders and emails will be sent at least every other day.</span>Rock Paper Stitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096600513360202618noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355858516784680009.post-24157076780153427232013-03-28T14:16:00.001-05:002013-03-28T14:16:32.103-05:00She has arrived!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On March 17th little Marina entered the world. She doesn't leave me much time to write so I will leave you with these photos my sister took on the day we attempted to take her newborn photos. The camera she borrowed wasn't working so she took some quick snapshots with my point and shoot instead. I don't think Marina was much in the mood anyway. We'll try again when my other sister gets a chance to visit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My pregnancy is nearing its end. While I gear up for baby's arrival I have a few announcements to make regarding a few changes to my shop. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The shop will stay open, even after my baby is born. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Starting March 1st I will no longer be taking any custom orders. I'd hate to start on your order only to have labor start and be unable to finish for many weeks after she is born. I will resume taking custom orders most likely in the beginning of summer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can still purchase any of the items already in my shop. Keep in mind once the baby arrives my shipping time will slow down. I
will also do my best to answer your questions, however, remember I may
be resting and spending time with my new baby and not sitting at a
computer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Only 3 more weeks to go!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Reflecting on the past year I'd say I had a pretty good year. Some new ideas turned out to be failures and some other items were a great success. One item I attempted to add to my shop were rag dolls, each with her own natural or bright hair color. I realized in the process I didn't enjoy making the dolls enough to want to put them in my shop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A big project I attempted to make was kids clothing. If I'm going to create my own line I want the patterns to be 100% my own. I could never seem to get them sized just right so that is on the shelf for now. I'm sure I'll come back to it at a later time. Making clothing always seems to go back and forth in my mind.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the end I stuck to what I knew and added lots of new Christmas stocking designs, which were super fun to make. I also designed more baby bibs and Happy Birthday banners. The coming year I will continue with those items, adding more variety and color options. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I don't know if I will add any new items this year. Usually I will try a new idea as I think of it. I'm going to have my hands full already with a new baby in the house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">That's right! A baby girl is due March 15 and from there, into the few months following, it may look as though I've given up working. I'll still be around to answer questions and fulfill orders as I can. Just know I may be a little preoccupied and not so quick at getting back to you.</span><br />

There aren't too many different styles and every outfit is a slight variation of the suit. Hopefully this list will make it a little easier to find, or put together, a stylish outfit for the little man in your life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If fancy is not your thing or just doesn't fit the budget, try some modern, playful looks. I like how many of these designs can be worn after Christmas is over. There are some fabulous casual dresses available at <a href="http://www.teacollection.com/girls-dresses" target="_blank">Tea Collection</a>. I wish I could show some of the dresses but, I have no way of getting them onto the blog. I highly recommend checking them out if you are looking for more affordable, reusable dresses. The outfits below can again be found at <a href="http://www.everythingbuttheprincess.com/" target="_blank">Everything But the Princess</a>.</span><br />

To help those of you who are looking to get ahead on their Christmas shopping I've listed a whole line of modern and brightly colored Christmas stockings in my shop. Many are selling already so shopping early might not be a bad idea so I don't run out of your favorite style. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've included some of the same styles as last year and added many new styles and colors to choose from. And just like last year, personalization is included. How cool is that! Below are all of the styles to choose from. Find your favorite in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RockPaperStitch?section_id=10487090" target="_blank">Rock Paper Stitch store</a>.</span><br />

If you're already making your own laundry soap, or using borax for another reason, then you already have the poison you need to make your own ant poison. The only other ingredient you need is honey. This recipe of course only works on sweet ants.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6T5khyphenhyphenAvtA0_pmCDe78HMCSlxExL9t-cMxGL_hLPaM5pW33X3juFPhM9o3Es8BDH6dVU0A8s7qBRZF7Rl3P8nR1CsAfnor0RgtUphe2HPjefDAqTBBUGaoHhJrDm_NaTTfVfsM2hSSQY/s1600/Ant+Poison+Formula.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6T5khyphenhyphenAvtA0_pmCDe78HMCSlxExL9t-cMxGL_hLPaM5pW33X3juFPhM9o3Es8BDH6dVU0A8s7qBRZF7Rl3P8nR1CsAfnor0RgtUphe2HPjefDAqTBBUGaoHhJrDm_NaTTfVfsM2hSSQY/s320/Ant+Poison+Formula.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Find a milk cap, jar lid or other throw away lid to mix the poison. I used the top of a frozen juice container. You want something the ants can crawl in and out of to take the poison back to the nest. Sprinkle a little bit of borax into the lid. I used maybe 1/8 tsp. Then pour a little honey, about 1/2 tsp. It doesn't have to be accurate. You want enough poison to kill the ants and enough honey so they take the poison. Adjust as needed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
I placed my lid in the bathroom where I discovered the ants coming through the crack on the floor where the shower was installed. Before I put the poison down I had a few ants wandering the house. Within an hour of placing the poison word got out to the ant nest "food" was nearby and it seemed the whole nest came to eat.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Less than 24 hours later I found two ants left. This stuff works!</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Please use caution as you would any store bought poison. The borax is still toxic to pets and children when ingested. Thankfully my two cats didn't find interest in all the ant sized commotion.</div>

The banners have been especially popular this year. I only wish I had more time to make them. As of today I have <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RockPaperStitch?section_id=8001923" target="_blank">two left</a> in my shop. A couple of months ago I was given the task of making 15 banners for a custom order. I finished all of the banners and have enough leftover fabric to make another set. Below are all 15 banners. Eventually I will be making their double to sell in the shop. Until I get to that point you can browse the options here and ask for one made to order, if you want one before I list them. Head over to my <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/00096600513360202618" target="_blank">profile</a> and send me an email with the banner you would like to order.</div>

Shoes are usually characterized as a women's obsession, but I have seen men just as obsessed with clean white soles and a color to match every outfit. Infants on the other hand could care less what we put on their feet. To keep our babies in line with our own shoe matching ideals here are a variety of unique soles (and un-soles) for babies.</div>

I've featured another pair of her infant shoes in my <a href="http://rockpaperstitch.blogspot.com/2012/01/dreaming-of-snow.html" target="_blank">winter treasury</a>. She makes the prettiest shoes for a baptism or a wedding. She also makes shoes for adults. </div>

These shoes fall in the realm of higher infant fashion. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ZUZII" target="_blank">Zuzii</a> is currently working on her new collection and only has her DIY kits available for now. I sure hope she brings back these shoes (left) because they are too cute to put that design back on the shelf. If you are into DIY these sandals (right) would be well worth the effort.</div>

Recently I was given the task of making 15 happy birthday banners for a custom order. It was a lot of fun picking out the fabric for each of this person's themes so I was really excited to see all of it in person. The fabric for these banners arrived yesterday and I am loving so many of them. </div>

I was especially happy she chose a combo that included <a href="http://shop.sarahjanestudios.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Jane</a>'s Children at Play line she did for Michael Miller. Her <a href="http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/MMF/Swatch4.cfm?Gnam=Children%20at%20Play%20by%20Sarah%20Jane" target="_blank">fabric line</a> makes the cutest little girl dresses so I expect it will make a cute banner too.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Amongst this pile of fabric were 2 very modern forest theme fabrics. I had this idea ahead of time to decorate my future nursery, now I found the fabric that matches what was going on in my brain.</div>

The first one being a
miscarriage about a month ago. My husband and I were expecting our first
baby, but nature took it's course and things didn't go as planned. I was only 7.5 weeks along and was just starting to tell my family about it. Some had to hear the bad news within days of finding out. Others didn't even know I was pregnant yet. Surprisingly I wasn't as upset as I thought I would. It was no doubt heartbreaking and I did need time to grieve the loss, however, I thought I'd be much more devastated. I really owe my grandma for inheriting so much emotional resilience. She is such a strong woman and I think that has rubbed off on me. </div>

I truly believe God was with me through all of this because about the the time miscarriage took place a cactus flower began to develop. One week later it blossomed. One of our bedroom windows opens to the sun porch, so this is what I saw when I woke up that morning. After a week of doctor visits and feeling so emotionally distraught I felt like God was giving me new hope. I found it very encouraging and uplifting.</div>

In between orders and custom requests I decided to get a head start on this years Christmas stockings. Due to the popularity of my stockings last year I decided after last season I would be much more prepared. So far I have 51 stockings complete with 12 different designs and 8 different colors. Four of the designs are the same as last year, as seen in these photos. I certainly expect to sell more than 51, but that is all the fabric I could afford to buy right now. Plus I have more fabric reserved in case some designs are more popular than others. I'm considering wholesaling them too. Once I work out my policies I will announce more about it later.</div>

Before working on stockings I started developing basic children's patterns to design clothes from. I bought a book that gave most of the measurements I needed. I had to guess on a back measurement, but my guess was wrong so I'm left with patterns that are much too wide. If you have a kid between the sizes of 3T-12, I would greatly appreciate a post in the comments with their clothing size, gender and back measurement as indicated in the photo. It's a very precise measurement so stick to the closest 1/8th inch if you can. Thank you very much to those who are willing to do this.</div>

Lastly I'd like to remind you all I do custom work too. I've been getting many requests for custom banners. Usually this is a Happy Birthday banner with a separate name banner. Take a look at my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RockPaperStitch?section_id=8001923" target="_blank">banners section</a> for more information. </div>

Since I don't know if too many people realize this I also do custom embroidery. At the end of this week you will find blank baby bibs and newborn onesies for personalization in my shop. The price listed will be for a single word or phrase. You can also send me a clip art image and have that embroidered on the items. These charges will be outlined in the listing.</div>
