It's a hat, it's a brooch, it's a pterodactyl! No, seriously, this multi-function piece of jewelry can serve you in many ways. Measuring in at just over 55", this rope of Czech glass beads and glass pearls with gold-filled spacer beads can be worn as a double strand necklace or a triple strand choker. You can loop it once around your neck in the choker position and have the rest as an extra long necklace. You can loop it around your waist as a belt. With lobster clasps on both ends, the first clasp attaches the belt around your waist at any length, up to and including 55". The second clasp allows you to loop the strand back up to your waist, while leaving a bit of a gap for visual interest. The second loop should not be snug up against the first pass around your waist, but should drape beneath it. You can also wear this strand of beads as a belt with your favorite Renaissance costume. Just attach the first loop around your waist at the bottom edge of your bodice and use the second clasp to attach a pomander, a fan or a tassel. Have fun with it!

The Great Texas Alligator Roundup Stroller Blanket

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:39:43 -0500

$38.00
This blanket is named after the annual Great Texas Alligator Roundup, which happens each September at the Fort Anahuac Park, which lies just South of IH-10 and about 35 miles East of Houston. For more information on the Roundup, see this site: <http://www.texasgatorfest.com/index.html>. Without any natural predators, the alligators face severe overpopulation if not for the roundup. The alligators circling around this blanket are ready to protect your little one from cold and drafts. They have made sure to include a few safety orange alligators and a safety orange minky back to make sure your little one can hang with the hunters without getting lost in the woods. All bundled up and ready for giving, this blanket is ideal for tucking around your little one in the car seat or the stroller or as a play mat or just for cuddling or napping. When they turn into toddlers, it will be a great security blanket.

This super cuddly Stroller Blanket of approximately 20" by 30" is made with Safety Orange 100% Polyester Velvet Minky on the back and Forest Green Flannel with Alligators 100 % Cotton Flannel on the front. This blanket uses a false binding with mitered corners for superior construction and durability. To make the false binding, the front fabric on this blanket is cut two inches bigger than the backing, the two layers are stitched wrong sides together with the backing centered on the front fabric, and the front fabric is wrapped around the backing and top-stitched. The "binding" on the backing side is 1/2" wide.

Each blanket comes with care instructions and is nicely bundled up and ready for giving. Since I’m all about the ease of care for baby products, I only use fabrics that can be machine washed and dried.

All Bundles of Joy products are:
- Pre-washed with dye free, perfume free detergent,
- Machine washable and dryable (Wash Cold, Tumble Dry Low),
- Require no ironing,
- Created in my smoke free, pet free, dust free studio,

Dressed to Impress Necktie Onesie

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:39:42 -0500

$20.00
This shirt will have your little one all dressed up and ready to hit the town! Not your normal, boring tie, this one was drawn by my son Gabriel and has a pattern of green bugs with blue legs on a purple field. What could be more fun? Don't like the colors? Check out the color variations in the photos to the right. This appliqué is fused to the shirt and then stitched around the edges for extra security. It is a raw edge appliqué and some fraying is completely normal. In all honesty, Ethan's necktie onesie has been washed dozens of time and the fraying is so minimal as to go unnoticed. Your onesie will be made to order in the size and tie color you desire. Please allow 3 days between receipt of payment and shipment. If you need it faster, please let me know and we’ll get it out to you as quickly as possible.

Each Onesie comes with care instructions and cutely bundled up and ready for giving. This tie onesie is available in all the sizes listed in the size chart in the last picture. Please specify the size and color you want in the notes to seller. This art was created by my son, Gabriel Joy (born December of 2000). Glance at a few pictures of his art on my Flickr site, and it will become obvious that Gabriel is very interested in dinosaurs. In point of fact, he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up, so he had better start saving money to pay for that PhD now. For each onesie sold, Gabriel receives $1 for his piggy bank and $2 for his college fund. We don't think it is ever too early to start saving for college or to teach your children about the importance of saving and budgeting!

A high-density version of each picture is printed onto high quality, 200-thread count cotton, which is then turned into an appliqué measuring 3" by 6.75" at its largest points and sewn onto an onesie for your enjoyment. 100% Cotton.

All Bundles of Joy products are:
- Pre-washed with dye free, perfume free detergent,
- Machine washable and dryable (Wash Cold, turned inside out, no bleach. Tumble Dry Low or Dry Flat for extended life of art),
