Jackaroo became a favorite shop of mine months ago when I meet one of the shop owners on Etsy. Jackaroo is owned and operated by 2 sisters named Erin and Jill. They named the shop after Jackers (Jill's one year old son, Jack) and Riley-Roo (Erin's two year old daughter, Riley) Erin and Jill make some of the cutest burp cloths and blankets I have ever seen.

In addition to the burp cloths and blankets they also make these great little Baby Hankies (pictured above)which are great for your little ones skin, your pocketbook and not to mention the environment. One of my favorite items is the Shabby Chic Canopy. (pictured below) The canopy would make a great little escape for your little one.



Now for the giveaway!!! To thank all their customers, fans and followers for showing them so much love, Jackaroo is offering a set of three of their stylish, affordable, multipurpose burp cloths(including shipping). You will get a choice of 2 sets pictured below.

My new Etsy find

Hello and I hope everyone has had a good Febuary this year. It is almost time for March and that means that Easter will soon be here. I was on Etsy the other day looking for some basket stuffers for my kids and I came across a new shop called "Little Green Fern" I was so excited to see what Vickie had in her shop. OMG!! The cutest little felt bunnies I have ever seen and they are small enough to fit in the little plastic Easter eggs. Pictured below is a family set with a zippered carrot pouch.



Since my daughter is very much into the "Littlest Pet Shop" sets, I thought that these adorable little bunnies would be a nice change. I ordered 4 little bunnies on my first order and I was thrilled to see what they looked like in person, so I had to order more along with the carrot bag. Vickie is the owner of this great shop and she hand stitches these little critters. Some of the best work I have seen in a very long time. The details are amazing! So if you are looking for some Easter basket stuffers or just a little gift to say "I Love You" head on over to Vickie's shop and take a look around. She has some instock that will ship the same day and others she has to make that will ship 7-10 days after payment is received. Believe me...it is well worth the wait. littlegreenfern.etsy.com

Diaper Cake Time!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! I am so excited to hear a dear friend of mine has a daughter who will be having a baby this summer, and I will be making a diaper cake for her shower. We are just waiting to see if she can find out the sex of the baby in a few weeks. They couldn't tell from the first ultrasound, so we will keep our fingers crossed for the next one.

I am so happy to be able to create another diaper cake. I LOVE making these!! It is a nice change from my quilting and embroidery and I love to see what I can come up with.

Here is a picture of the last one I made for a friend who ordered one for a baby shower she was going to.




This next one is one that was a special order from someone in my town. I put a pair of puppy baby booties on the top.



You won't see the diaper cakes listed in my Etsy shop, but I do still take orders for them and I will ship them for you as well. If you would like more information on my cakes you can contact me by going to my Etsy shop and sending me a convo or you can email me at kidnaroundcreations@myfairpoint.net Be sure to check out this link where I have other cakes that I made in the past. http://kidnaroundcreations.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-other-passion.html I will leave you with a photo of the very first cake I made.
