Sew Darling

sometime last year I met (well not officially met but social media met) Ashley Whetman on instagram

she makes the precious cloth dolls and I just knew that at some point I would be purchasing one.

this little darling was the first one that I ordered.

she was a gift.

I told Ashley that I wanted something pink and the braid and the hair and eye color. this is the picture that she sent me when she was all done. I thought she was perfect. it was difficult to part with her but I did.

 

I have a sweet friend that is pregnant with her child. she has two girls and baby #3 is a girl as well. I knew that I wanted to get her one of Ashley's dolls. this time I looked in her shop and she had these precious Darling little. they are the perfect first doll for a new baby girl. I purchased her pink one because my friend is crazy about pink. also her girls have light hair and blue eyes, here's to hoping that baby #3 does as well. I just love the darling little Ashley. oh! and there are small jingle bells inside for a sweet jingle sound.

ribbons for baby to feel

 

thank you so much Ashley for your beautiful dolls. Check out Ashley's Etsy shop here

she is so very talented and makes such cute dolls

 

my sister was just telling me that she thought that she was going to have to buy her youngest son a doll for him to push around in the grocery cart and because he loves babies so much

I think that I may have to get Ashley to make one like this for my nephew for Christmas

Baby Girls Room

so here are the pics of the vinyl tree that i purchased on etsy for baby girls room.

i just love the way that it came out
here is a shot of the blooms flying across the wall

and here is a shot of the blooms crossing over to the next wall.

we did that to make the transition from the blue wall to the yellow wall eye pleasing.

my hubby wasn't a huge fan of the blue wall when we first got it painted.
