Spoiled baby girl... or mama? Whichever











I'm sure you're not surprised when I say that this baby girl, Rozzlyn... is already totally spoiled. She has a so many outfits... I think Ill be hoping for poo-splosions just for an excuse to change her... She got a new crib & changing table, because well.. the old one has scratches on it ;) And all the high tech gadgetry we could ever need... like a MamaRoo & a fancy schmancy video monitor... but of all this awesomeness... I am so excited about my StellarCheri diaper bag... and my Sweet Monkey Tots wipes case!!! If you're a fan of us on Facebook... then its pretty likely you already saw me ranting about its awesomeness... but COME ON!!!! Its amazing... This is a rare and expensive Japanese fabric... and when I found it, I about had a heart attack. Back when I made the boy's quilts... I used this same print but in black as some of the squares... and some matching wall art. And now i have PINK! So I bought up as much as I could afford so I can put some into her bedding too... and of course, a matching wall art... and who knows what else...  all I know is I am so amazingly thrilled so far with both of these companies and I don't even have them in my hands yet! I knew Cheri would kick out an amazing product... we have been working together for awhile now... and I have been a customer for even longer...
But like most people, I sometimes get nervous when trying new shops... ya never know when they will just blow your mind with awesomeness or let ya down... but I gotta say, my experience with nothing but AMAZING. Her products are worth EVERY penny. From the very beginning, her communication was prompt and she was SO SO helpful while I searched for the right print and combination... She has kept it constant contact sending preview files of fonts, letting me know the status of the order... and a sneak peek of the case before she emailed saying she shipped it off. I have been absolutely thrilled and I highly recommend shopping with either one of both of course. Both of these awesome companies take custom orders... and both of them make it super simple to put together the perfect set... they also have many fabrics to choose from if you don't have anything specific in mind... so PLEASE take a minute to stop by their etsy shops... Stellar Cheri is here... though remember, the style of bag you see above is the exclusive StellarCheri for RockerByeBaby design... and can only be found in our shop :) But still go check out all her other awesome goodies... and then Sweet Monkey Tots... Be sure to tell them RockerByeBaby sent ya - and if you order, come back and tell us what you got!

Happy Mail: Inspiration...
















So, today I woke up and was crusing Facebook on my phone and came across a post my friend Jamie over at Max & Meena...  she had posted a link to this AMAZING blog called Giver'sLog... about Happy Mail.  I totally fell in love with the idea. The segment is called 13 Ounces or Less... and the idea is to find random, fun things to mail... and let me tell you, she is a GENIUS about it... some of the ideas she has posted are just amazing. (Obviously) SO I was thinking -  with all the mailing i do for RockerByeBaby why not throw some fun ones in there now and then? I thought we could maybe mail things to each other... and take pictures of the fun-ness... What do ya think? If you're interested... send me an email and we can swap addresses... rockerbyebaby@gmail.com with Happy Mail in the subject Oh, and don't forget... the idea is 13 oz. of Less... so you can ship it via first class mail... Pili - you're pretty much the only one that still reads my blog... so maybe you and I could do it?! LOL But yeah, would love to hear from you guys if you're interested! I think it could be a really fun way to put a smile on our faces :) Plus... everyone loves getting "happy mail"...

Wow *deep breath*

We are coming down to crunch time... there is ACTUALLY a baby inside of me... (I know, because she has had her little booty wedged into my ribs for a few months straight now...) and said baby - will ACTUALLY be coming out of me... and living in my house... and eating via me... and crying... and needing diaper changes... and snuggled... and kissed... and loved.... ok those last few things don't sound so bad, but WOW! *deep breath* this is real! Last week at my check up... my midwife said I could start Red Raspberry Leaf Tea & Evening Primrose... both of which tell your body to start getting ready to have a baby... and I figure since Im planning to do this one au'natural ... I guess I need all the help I can get ;) I know a handfull of people that have started these two things, and had the baby within 2 weeks. So really... she could be here any day now... Im just trying to get as organized as I can... and work my BUTT off to catch up as many orders as fast as possible... but you know me... I'm sure 5 days after baby Rozzlyn is here I'll be back to sew sew sewing away... so yeah! Thats my little update... the store is still open for now... mostly ready to ship stuff... crib bedding... etc. Just remember, if you order and it takes a little longer than normal, its because Im ready to pop... lol

RockerByeBaby update!

Something missing in the Etsy shop? We cut down our listing by half... and will continue to do so slowly... I am due with my baby girl Rozzlyn at the end of October... so for now until we can catch up, we cut out a lot of the listings... Most of what you see is crib bedding, RockerByeBeanies, and ready to ship blankets... new stuff will pop up here and there... but for now - just gotta catch up before the baby girl gets here :) So please be patient with me... as I am sewing like crazy 8 months pregnant with two toddler boys running around...
