Bring Me Up: Design

NogginsNBobbins

Saturday, March 21, 2009

This floppy ear Easter bunny hat was just too cute not to write about. Made from super soft yarn in "natural" with a big pink flower on the side. This hat can also be made in brown, white, or tan. The hat can also be made with no flower (or detachable flower) and light blue ears and trim for boys.

The store is nogginsnbobbins which is also just too cute; what a clever name! The shop's owner is Heather and she resides in Wisconsin. She has three children of her own and is a stay-at-home Mom who somehow also finds the time for crafty projects. She says her grandma taught her to crochet and sew fifteen years ago and the crafts inspire her.

The beanie sizing chart is as follows:

0-3 months fits heads up to 14"
3-6 months 14"-16"
6-12 months 16"-18"
12-24 months 18"-19.5"
2T-4T 19.5"-20.5"
5T-preteen 20.5"-21.5"
Preteen-adult 21.5"-?

In addition to the adorable baby beanies she also sells baby cocoons, scarfs, mittens and sometimes a destash of yarn if you're lucky. She happily accepts custom orders, but asks that you be aware most orders take two weeks to arrive.

Oh baby, I love freebies and monsters

Friday, January 30, 2009

Baby is on the brain. A girl can't help it when she's 25 weeks pregnant! So this very interesting bassinet I saw at MoCo Loco intrigued me.

It looks like something you'd see in a Disney movie doesn't it? I kind of want a larger version for myself.

The Argington line of children's furniture by ODA, New York's Office for Design & Architecture, includes the Hagia bassinet and the V & A art easel.

It needs some extra padding for me though, I'm not digging the laying a baby on a board idea.

Creature Comforts has a Valentine freebie for you crafty hearts out there. If you head over to their site they have an iron-on transfer perfect for lovely, romantic designs. It's very Jerry Maguire of them.

And you know you want to see animated monsters in real-world environments on a Friday afternoon don't ya?

Good. Then check out these short clips by Volstok Telefunken.

The Polkadot Platypus

Monday, January 28, 2008

Because this website and its contents could quite possibly be the cutest ever!

The Polkadot Platypus is a shop and a blog devoted to selling items (mostly clothes) for expecting mom's, as well as for babies and kids. They have an entire section devoted to organic clothes and they are very affordable. There are even sets for twins which say "Good things come in pears" (obviously there is an illustration of two pears on the onesies.) I love the bright red "warning" shirt that says, "warning...i'm 2" hahahaha. For little girls with style and sass there is a shirt that says "sorry boys, I only date rock stars." How cute!

If you are expecting or have young children you should definitely check out this site. You won't find clothes and accessories like this anywhere else. If you know someone who is expecting you should hop over to The Polkadot Platypus because they have fabulous gift sets.

Their blog discusses their products, but it also leads you to other websites from time-to-time. The Polkadot Platypus keeps an eye out for good deals and fun giveaways, so you should be sure to check in on their posts every once in awhile.

"A portion of the proceeds at The Polkadot Platypus are donated to organizations that benefit Down syndrome awareness, research and education. This cause is very close to Bethany's heart, as her daughter has Down syndrome."

Aristabrat: Regal meets rock-n-roll

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

Forgive me for the term, but let's talk about baby bling.

I have a good friend who is due in November and she is having a baby boy. I already bought the baby one snazzy outfit, but have been looking for other unique items as well. Because she's a great friend and I want her little boy to be the coolest!

In comes, Aristabrat. I'm not much for the name, but their merchandise is unlike any other baby stuff I have ever seen. It's just so cool. There are even matching sets of pacifiers and cuff links for you dads-to-be who get dressed up a lot.

And look at this "Duke" rattle. This is what Aristabrat would call "in-your-face flair." If my friend were expecting a girl I would definitely buy a ritzy pacifier. If even not to be used, but just to be admired and talked about. Because it's fancy schmancy. Aristabrat has a premiere collection of Pacifiers, the High Society collection, which incorporates Swarovski Crystal in opulent princess, emerald, marquis, teardrop and baguette cuts in each bejeweled model.

The Aristabrat fashion line consists of onesies from newborn to 24-month sizes, emblazoned with original artwork, tongue-in-cheek slogans and Swarovski Crystal studded embellishments as part of the design and decorating the snap closures.

Baby blogging

Sunday, July 1, 2007

This onesie is cracking me up. Braeden so should have had one when he was a baby. The sizes range from 0-3 months up to 18 months. It's so perfect for parents who are avid bloggers like myself. Especially if you have a blog that talks about your family. I love it!

You can buy this at Etsy.com on the store front for Rainbowswirlz. Mendy and James are an engaged couple who run Rainbowswirlz, they are both obsessed with crafty things and therefore have made a business around it. They are awfully clever and their prices are extremely reasonable.
