1. Kristen (her shop would be called Kdoggy’s Krafts)
She is my sisterchick, so I might be a little biased but I think Kristen is one of the most creative people I know! (Do you remember her Christmas gift to me?) Well, look at what she made me at one of my many baby showers.
A bouquet of baby stuff! It’s socks, onesies and washcloths all rolled up to look like flowers! Do you love it? I didn’t even want to unwrap it because it was so cute.
2. Leigh (her shop would be called Totaleigh Awesome)
She is just too much. It’s unfair how crafty she is. OK, maybe she does work at it a little more than I do. (My scarf? Still barely a scarflette.) So, here’s the gift she sent for Asa’s big BIRTHday.
DO YOU LOVE IT?
Oh my gosh. And she made a butterfly one for Lydia.
(Yes, Lydia styled her own hair this day.)
I could just eat it up! I’m amazed that she actually MADE this.
3. Wendy (her shop would be called Wendy’s Darlings…anyone get that?)
Wendy is one of my messageboard mamas (and real life friends, too) and refuses hasn’t caved to the blogging world yet. But if she did, you would love everything she does—she’s one of those money saving coupon mamas, a chef and unbelievably crafty.
Here’s what she and her son made for Asa…a diaper and wipes holder.
Is that the cutest? I’ve been wanting a diaper/wipes container but never found one that I loved. Except this one!
And look at what she gave Lydia as a big sister present!
What, you can’t tell what it is? This is the craft box I was telling you about. It was much cuter before Lydia got her hands on it. Everything was wrapped up, in little baggies and looking like candy it was so cute! She even put a ribbon around the top. What a great gift for little hands. Lydia will cut that yarn into tiny pieces for an hour!
Oh, and while we’re at it, here’s the puppet she made for Lydia’s 2nd birthday. Seriously.
4. Candace (Oh, wait! She does have an etsy shop. It’s called Twiggie.)
I just got this amazing present in the mail this week. Candace, who is beyond crafty, sent me some adorable clothes (oh, for Asa, not me) and some handmade burp cloths.
Aren’t they adorable? I almost hate for Asa to spit up on them. Seriously, these are perfect because they have terrycloth on one side. So you can actually soak liquid up! What a novel idea.
And to prove her craftiness, Candace just did a stamped onesie tutorial on her blog this week. So cute.
5. Jodi (her shop? Well, I’ll steal her blog title, because it’s perfect–Jodilightful!)
I know I’ve posted about these cute gifts before, but here’s a picture of the shirts actually being worn! Are they the cutest things ever? (The kids AND the shirts, of course.)
6. Staci (her etsy shop would be Staci Staci Bo Baci…no, how ’bout Stay & See…hmmm, I’ll have to think about that one…)
I’ve already posted this picture, too. But it’s just another adorable baby shower gift—an actual cute diaper cake! She made one for Lydia’s baby shower, too. Don’t tell Staci but I still have some of it. I couldn’t bear to unwrap it!
And if they sold real cakes on etsy, Staci would be the one to make them. Check out Staci’s new cake blog, Sweets!

So, which one of these items would you buy now? Seriously.
I’m so honored to make your blog!! But…yeah, we need to work on the title 🙂
I can’t believe I don’t make the list!! Ok – actually I do. But I’m going to work to change that!!
What nice gifts! Those dolls by Leigh are so sweet.
And I love Lydia’s hair.
Don’t worry about messing them up – they wash well and are extremely sturdy! I made about 10 for Max and we go through them before the week is over so they’re constantly being put through the gauntlet and they’re very durable. I’m glad you like them!!
I absolutely love the kid’s shirts!! I am def gonna have to check out that site!! You daughter is too cute with her “do!” I am loving your creative blog too, we are always looking for new activities for us to do at home! Thanks!!
Shucks, I didn’t expect to see *me* on this list. I’m so not crafty, but who can’t use a printer and an iron, right?
My friend Megan crochets and I really need to do a whole post dedicated to all the amazing things she’s made for our girls over the years. Most recently, Pippa got a little doll for her birthday, similar to the one’s Asa and Lydia got. I’m a little possessive of her and hate to see her played with like a “normal” toy, but Megan assures me that’s what she’s for. So cute!
Awwww…thanks for including me in THAT list. You know some crafty people!!!! I want everything that you showed!
oh, I am all over the butterfly and dinosaur. SOO cute.
I’m not going to lie. I’m a little jealous of crafty people.
I want to know how to knit those cute little critters! I love the butterfly girl!
girl, I’m blushing! Thanks for the nod… I’m seriously thinking about opening an etsy shop. Right after I get everything organized and under control around here. wait… that will never happen…
I couldn’t agree more! And I’ll brag a little … I have some of Candace’s burp cloths and one of Leigh’s little animal thingies!
And you should set up your own Etsy shop and sell Etsy shop name ideas…but you’ll have to come up with your own name for that too… I got nuthin!
I believe one of your advertisements triggered my internet browser to resize, you might want to put that on your blacklist.
