Introducing Sew Melody

I found Sew Melody to be a delightful shop. I think you will too. Please keep her in mind if you have a new baby coming or know someone that does. There are blankets for toddlers as well. They are just beautiful, as you can tell by the photos. Here is a sample of her items and a little more about her from her profile posted on Etsy.

In her words...

"Womanhood is a journey of hope. I strive to live a life that is full of the feminine virtues of youth and maturity, of spontaneity and order, of suffering and joy. Capturing the loveliness of these apparent contradictions in a creative work is a great joy to me. It lends hope to a day of laundry and dishes. It reveals the mysterious beauty in the tears and diapers.

My creative compass:

"Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8"

She has blankets for girls...

...and boys.

She even has items in her shop for Christmas. Everything is beautiful and I hope you will stop by and see for yourself.

Introducing Hands Full Creations

This shop is full of wonderful items and worth your time to check out. Here is what the shop owner has to say about her work.


"My obsession with bold color and unique fabric combinations led to my starting Hands Full Creations. I have always loved using my imagination and creativity, however my three kids keep my "hands full," so this shop is an amazing blessing because it allows me to do what I love in whatever spare time I can get! I have poured a lot of myself into each one of my designs and strive to make each item as perfect as humanly possible."
