This baby gift set includes three hand made personalized baby bibs, a coordinating box, notecard and original canvas.
The canvas was done to match baby Emerson’s pink and brown bedding from Restoration Hardware. Baby Emerson has a soft pink and brown elephant mobile in her crib and that’s what inspired this canvas! In the canvas a mommy and baby elephant are holding trunks as they are give each other a flower. The elephants stand on a field of flowers that has the baby’s birth information “hidden” in it. The canvas is done in rich browns and many shades of pink to coordinate with the baby’s room.
Three bibs are done in stripes, dots, and a soft pink and all have personalized hand embroidered stitching. These fabrics were picked to coordinate with the baby’s bedding and room colors also. The multi colored dotted bib has “Emerson” hand embroidered in a wrapped back stitch, the striped fabric has the letter “E” done in a multitude of french knots, and the soft pink bib has baby Emerson’s monogram done in a stem stitch.
The coordinating box makes use of soft pink and brown card stock with hand embroidered dark brown french knots on the warm pink card stock for added flair. The fun font (Gigi on MS Word) shows off Emerson’s full name on the keepsake box.
Emerson’s monogrammed personalized note card is done with a soft pink satin ribbon wrapped in a stripey effect on dark brown card stock. Emerson’s monogram is done in a warm brown and set on start white card stock in the card’s center.
The fun thing about all of these baby items is that they are useful (fancy bibs-can’t the bib be just as sweet as the dress?!), and can serve more than one purpose (the box makes a beautiful gift presentation and then can be displayed in the baby’s room and used to keep all those precious little keepsakes in!), and the card with the givers best wishes presents another wall art opportunity (or scrapbook addition!). The fact that the baby’s birth information is slightly “hidden” allows for the growth of the baby into a child who will still love that she has personalized artwork with her name on it-but doesn’t feel that it’s too “babyish” because the baby information is not too obvious.

This round picnic table and rounded benches are too much fun-each bench sits two children or an adult comfortably. The adorable “kiwi” mini table umbrella I found at Lowes for less than 15$ (not including the stand). The table was cut using a jig saw after drawing out my circle (I made a makeshift compass with a pencil and string attached to the middle of the wouldbe table with a nail). I used a hole saw for the middle of the table, to allow the umbrella to fit neatly through. The benches were made using two approximately 24 inch 4X6’s-cutting one through the middle in a half circle, the circle with the concave half made the inside part of the bench, and the convex part made the outside of the bench (with a whole 24 inch piece sandwiched in between the other two). I used 12 inch 4X10’s to make the legs of the benches, and eight 22 inch 4X6’s to make up the four legs of the table. I used a deck stain in the color of “Forest Floor” to stain and seal the table and benches making it ready for lots of outdoor use. I love that this little table and benches are so sturdy and durable-my little guys have already gotten lots of use out of them!

Every play house needs it’s own address-just like Mom and Dad’s house! This house number was meant to be a replica of the one on the “real” house. The play one, though, is cut from a spare piece of plywood, sanded, and hand painted. The original was a gift from Aunt Carolyn and Uncle John years ago. Thank you again, guys! As you can tell, we have enjoyed it and are enjoying it still! For your own hand made kids art e-mail me at shannon@coffeycreationsforkids.com !
My little guys love to be just like Daddy! If Daddy’s lawn mower has a grass catcher-his needs one too! This little project was pretty easy to do, I bent up some wire hangers into a frame and used duct tape to cover any ends of the hangers, then covered it with an outdoor sturdy material and attached it to the frame by folding the edges around the wire and using fabric tac (fabric glue). The catcher has a portion of the wire exposed to hang it right onto the lawn mower handle, this makes it extra easy to take on and off. (I think I may add a bit of velcro to hold the bottom of the catcher closer to the mower so it doesn’t drag behind-photo to be added later!!) We have already filled the catcher with lots and lots of “helicopters” and emptied it out into a garbage bag. Leonard is thrilled that he has his very own grass catcher-just like Daddy!!!

All the fun Orange Kitty items were made from an orange and white striped repurposed men’s shirt! What fun it was turning one men’s shirt into so many girly little items!! My personal favorite, though are the bloomers! Girly bloomers with fun springtime blooms to match the fun dresses! The blooms are made of the orange and white striped shirting material and the stamens are hand embroidered orange and blue (to match the little Polo insignia) french knots, the green stems are done in a stem stitch and the little leaves are done in backstitches. The little ruffly dress shows off the original “Polo” insignia and is approximately a 6-12 month size. It has elastic on the shoulder ruffly straps, the back of the dress and under the arms. The halter dress has a ribbon that can be tied at the back of the neck or on one side or the other in the front (or back for that matter)-the halter used as a dress will fit sizes approximately 12-18 months or as a halter swing top from sizes 2-3T. The back of the halter dress shows off the original buttons of the men’s shirt, and the back of the dress is a bit longer than the front of the dress due to the nature of the Halter dress itself. The orange kitty has hand embroidered eyes, nose and mouth. The matching bib also has hand embroidery accents and velcro dots to allow for a growing little girl! The two coordinating hair bands are both made of elastic bands for stretch and comfort. This collection is one of a kind as I do not use patterns to make my childrens clothing.
Sorry-the ruffly dress, bloomers, and orange and white headband have sold! The remaining items-the halter dress, orange kitty, bib and remaining headband can be purchased for 55$. To purchase this fun collection check out my ETSY shop or pay me directly via PayPal. If you’d like this collection in a different print contact me at shannon@coffeycreationsforkids.com , or send in your own men’s shirt for an extra special Father’s day gift for daddy!
Oh my! I LOVED doing this project! A mini tent to match Hampton’s own Circus tent! Plus a lion, a step stool for him to leap through his ring of fire on, and the ringmaster himself! I hope Hampton will have lots of fun with his circus themed toys that match his room’s theme and bedding! The mini tent has Hampton’s monogram hand embroidered above the little door in a back stitch. The tent also has a little flag on top and a circle window in the back-just like Hampton’s big one! The lion is made of a supersoft tan suede with an ivory fur on the alternate side. The lion’s mane is the ivory fur, while his little face, body, and tail are the tan suede with tufts of the ivory fur on his feet, tail and around his face. The ring of fire is made of a soft white muslin and the fire is hand painted onto the material. The base of the ring of fire has stuffing and a bit of rice to keep it standing for lots of fun pretend play! The ring’s shape is kept by using a bit of covered stem wire, and the base of the ring is covered in material that coordinates with the tent. The ring master has hand embroidery accents for his facial features, he has a satin bow tie to go with his tux and tails! The ring master also has a dark brown satin rimmed top hat, cuffed pants, a flower on his tux jacket and he himself is made of a soft pill resistant ivory fleece.

These little finger puppets were pretty easy to do, and fun too! I found the pattern for the rabbit on Martha Stewart’s website and made just a few little changes:I used a straight stitch up the front of the bunny (easier and the blanket stitch would have made the opening too small for a finger!), and I added whiskers to the bunny by threading a small piece of embroidery floss through the nose area, spreading out the threads and spraying on a smidge of “Stiffen quick”! I also used pill resistant ivory fleece for the bunny bodies and a pinch of stuffing for the head instead of a cotton ball. Ta-da! I made the chicks by cutting basically a rounded off rectanglular shape cut about as tall as 3/4 of your index finger. Using slightly different shapes allow for different looking chicks as you can see in the photos! I used a soft furry yellow cuddle fleece, machine sewed the seam with the material inside out (fold material in half and sew along the top where your finger tip would be and down along the side), turned out the material, added french knots for the black eyes, cut out a little orange felt beak (diamond shaped then fold in the middle), wing shapes and a tail and attached those with fabric tac!
