Inky Binky Baby

Welcome Baby Chloe!

2009-06-22T19:59:00.001-07:00

Recently very good friends of ours welcomed their first child into the world, a beautiful baby girl named Chloe. Being a boy momma, I had an absolute blast making all sorts of girly, frilly and fun things for them as baby gifts. I had just gotten some new fabrics, including this really fresh set of green and bright pink flowers.

I knew this would be perfect, these are the colors of her nursery and they actually named her Chloe because it means "bloom"! After the usual bibs, burp cloths and blanket I decided to try something new and created a infant portrait tutu with matching baby bloomers. This is different from a regular tutu (which I LOVE making!) as it's open and designed to slip onto a sleeping newborn. Making that first portrait even easier.

Matching Baby Bloomers!

To capture these special new moments, our friends hired another friend of ours Tina at LiveLovePhotography (any cool pics on the site, Tina took!). She is absolutely amazing and we are so excited to know her. I am proud to say many of my items made into Chloe's pics, you can see their slide show here. Grab the Kleenix and marvel at the beautiful work and gorgeous baby!

Project Nursery Giveaway!

Okay, how cool is this? I was recently contacted by Kim of Tom Kat Studios and contributing writer to ProjectNursery.com if I would like to be featured on the site! Are you kidding? Of course I was interested! So I whipped together a totally fabulous set of some of my most favorite items for a glam giveaway. I choose the Baby Bling Travel Wipe Case, Diaper Clutch and Travel Diaper Changing Pad. One lucky reader will win this, but I'm going to also offer it for a special price on the website for those who just can't wait! Interested? Contact me and I'll send a code for the special pricing!

Cupcake Crazy!

Okay, I have to admit, I have a new obsession. I am completely in love with cupcakes! You can see the extent of my sweet tooth by all the new fabrics I've recently added to the site. I can't wait to use them, I have so many fun projects planned. Diaper clutches, burp cloths, onesies and I'm even thinking about a cupcake themed tutu.... Yummy! Sprinkles anyone?

I'm a Chicky Bella Chica!

2009-03-29T21:07:00.001-07:00

I am so excited to announce that Inky Binky Baby is now being carried locally at Chicky Bella in Gilbert, Arizona. This store is so fabulous! It's full of bright colors (not your typical pink and blue) and celebrates both momma and baby. I fell in love with this store when I was pregnant, giving me inspiration to create my own line of funky baby products. The owner Lisa has an eye for quality and what's fresh right now (so glad I passed her test!). I am so excited that select Inky Binky Baby products are featured in the store including flower beanies, headbands, burp cloths, onesies, bling wipe cases and now tutus (new product alert!)

If you live in Arizona, support your local businesses and check out the products in person!

Fresh Picked!

I just finished a HUGE order for Fresh Picked, an awesome boutique in San Diego (be sure to stop by if you're in the area!). Nanette, the owner, and I have the same taste in fabric so designing for her and the store is an absolute blast! I think I'm sending enough to stock the store for a while, but hopefully they'll need more soon... Here's a few pictures of some of the newest items, they'll be added for sale to the website soon. Let me know what you think!

2009-02-21T19:00:00.000-08:00

I am so in love with the new fabric "Boy Guitars" and couldn't wait to use it. Luckily, my sister in law needed a gift set and loved the fabric as much as I do. (You gotta love family for giving you the chance to experiment!) I made a matching set including personalized bib, burp cloth, security blanket and travel wipe case. My husband even loved the wipe case and asked if I'd make one for him!!! This set is awesome for a music lover, and dad's are sure to like it as much as moms. Take a look!

I love the personalized burp cloths, they really are my favorite thing to make. There's just something so special about having your babies name on cute items. What a beautiful reminder of an amazing time in your little one's life! More fabulous products should be arriving this week, stay tuned!
