On A Roll..

Thinking I needed some more options for boys (although it would look cute on a girl too), I whipped this one out in two days. Two days! wow.
Not sure what to call him tho..

The newest addition to CityBird :







If you order a onesie from CityBird it will arrive at your door in a pretty package to open yourself, or to give as a gift.

 

Open for Business!

(Blogger shut down yesterday and deleted my original post- so if you saw it, and then didn't see it, and now see it again- that's why. Also, if you left a comment I didn't see it and that was lost to cyberspace as well. grr. )



My etsy shop is open! I present to you...




You can click here for a link to my shop :)
I only have four onesies posted so far but will try to get the rest up over the weekend.

Coming Soon..

I am going back and re-photographing all the onesies I have made so I can put them up on Etsy. Finally!
I finished this one about a month ago and will be adding it to the woodland collection. It's called "Dreamcicle Butterfly"







I am trying to decide on a shop name.. something that will mesh 'urban' and 'nature'.  Any ideas??

* Urban Woodland
* Concrete Woodland
* UrbanBark
* ProspectBaby (after Prospect Park)
* CityBird
* ??


I don't think I'm very good at this..

Hailey is going to be a big sister!

Getting Ready for Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner and if you are like us your holiday activities have already started. Parties, dinners, shopping, decorating.. Christmas time is wonderful isn't it?

On Friday I got together with a friend who recently visited our friends in Norway and she brought back a beautiful advent star to hang in our window. It was the perfect reason to decorate for Christmas. It's so pretty all lit up and glowing! 

On Saturday we went caroling with a group from church. We walked up and down busy 8th avenue singing Christmas songs, it was so fun! First we walked down the avenue and made a stop on 49th street in front of Dominick's Pizzeria. (If you have ever been to NYC for BUMP or to visit us, you have most likely eaten  Dominick's) One of the guys who works there came out and took video of us singing. 

Then we crossed the street and walked and sang all the way to the train station at 62nd street. We stopped in front of the station and sang a few more songs, crossed the street and headed back towards church..

Making one more stop along the way at a Malaysian restaurant whose owner started coming to the Chinese service and became a believer. In our caroling group we had people singing in english, chinese and gujarati so when we stopped at the restaurant those singing in chinese did a few song alone. 

Then we headed back to church for refreshments and to warm up.

Over the weekend I also got two more onesies made. I have been trying to get some ready and in stock for my etsy shop. I want some ready to sell because even though I have made quite a few over the last year almost all of them have been gifts. The following are the first two of four from my up and coming 'woodland collection'. I'm excited about it :)

Oh, and it snowed.
