New Button :: Bow Party Winner

Lookie lookie! (to your left in the sidebar) A friend made a button for Sugarplum Boutique! Ooooo, the words change! Cool, huh?! I tried to hire him for the job, but he (they, since he's married) wanted to donate it to the cause! Thanks so much, Ian! You can "grab" the button to put on your blog by copying and pasting the code in the code box. Thanks for helping more orphans by spreading word about S.B.!

And the winnner from the 2nd bow party for the L family is...........Sharon B.! Each person who purchased bows that day earned an entry for a free initial bow holder and got an extra entry for signing up for the mailing list (or already being on it). You can see a pic of the bow holders in the online album. Many thanks to all the ladies who supported the L family by buying bows!

More for the Little Man

Here's a onesie I made for some friends' baby shower in the hospital! (Read about them and pray!)

You, too, can own one or buy one for a gift--and help the cause of orphans--for $20. Each piece is fused with interfacing, fused on the shirt and stitched around the edges. I use Carter's onesies. Just let me know what size you need.

And here's proof it'll be a hit :)

We have a long-standing give-Tyler-a-hard-time-thing about his baby gift to Calvin....several dozen REAL bottle rockets. So I warned him it might be payback time at his shower. And I told Marie she'd approve :)

4th of July

You can order custom 4th of July bows until Friday, June 19th.

Here are a few examples. The first pic is the "dainty" style--an XL dainty. It's made with a 1 1/2" wide ribbon and measures barely over 3" wide. Perfect for infant thru older girl! ($4.50)

I have lots of clippies I'm working on that I don't have pics of yet. If you want a pic, let me know. They're
made with the same ribbon that's used for the middle in the XL Dainty. I have white star doo-dads to add on, red stars, flags, red/white/blue stars... Or just plain red/white/blue with no doo-dads.

I'm only making extra of the clippies and the bow in the top picture. I'll make any other items by custom order--pigtail sets, big girl bows (such as the 2nd pic which I made for a 5 yr old friend), pony streamers, whatever you want! And remember, I have crochet headbands that any bow could go on...so your beautifully bald baby can have a bow on a band now, and use it throughout childhood later!









This last pic is my niece wearing her bow from last year, at her daddy's homecoming last month, from 4 months in Iraq. Just a simple, 1-ribbon design.

It's All About the Versatility!

I have bows on girls in India, China, other countries that people have sent bows to for their sponsored girls, I have people who have bought bows for their dogs, their dolls. . . but this is the most unique bow-wearer so far. Meet "Lily":



Have I mentioned I just looooove the "dainty" style bow/clippie? Because babies thru teens can wear them, even doggies, they're great for everyday. . . The bow above belongs to a girl in an American Girl book club. I made matching dainties for the girls and their dolls, and Miss A thought it'd be fabulous on her new guinea pig! Her mom sent an email out with this line, "Proof that those cool hair bows have multiple uses!!" Truer than ever! :)

Robots--Something for Girls AND Boys!

This is officially the first item available for BOYS from Sugarplum Boutique! Here's a pic of robot applique shirts I did for Calvin, Fallyn, and their 3 cousins. (Click for larger view) It's easy to find matching sister apparel items, not so easy if you want your boy and girl to match.

Here are the details:

*Infant through children's sizes available.

*Blue robots for girls, and green for boys. Both have an additional layer of brown. Applique is heat-fused and then stitched with white thread. Fabric paint is used for the eyes and mouth. Edges will fray with washing, and add to the applique-charm!

*Your robots will vary slightly from the pic. I decided the way I sewed them wasn't ideal. I cute separate pieces for every robot-body-part, and that was a mistake. I should've used one piece instead. It will still have the same face, shape, and everything...you probably won't even notice the difference, but I felt like I should mention it :)

*Onesies will be $20. T-shirts will range from $21-$25. The shirts I used for all the cousins were $4, $5, and $6 from Target, hence the price range. Just depends on boy/girl, and the size.

*Discount for ordering more than one! Also, the first two customers to order one or more of these will get free shipping!

*Allow 2 weeks from the time you place your order to the time your items are mailed. Tax and shipping will be added.

*Email me at sugarplum (dot) orders (at) gmail (dot) com!
