Twin- Sets!

Sometimes its a real challenge to buy unique gifts for twins-- but I love designing for them. Using complementary fabrics and similar fonts lets each twin have their own "style" while still making a gift look like it "goes."

Here is a set of 6 appliqued burp cloths I made for a brother-sister. I used the same applique letter but then used different fonts (and fabrics of course) on each cloth.

Here is another example of a "twin-set" I made for newborn brothers. In these sets I used the same font styles and then contrast ribbons for the ribbon trimmed burp cloths- pulling the thread colors out of the opposite set. For the appliqued bibs I had some complementary fabric that fit perfectly with the color scheme!

Teacher Gifts

As school ends for the year, my teacher-friends are all steeling themselves for the onslaught of teacher mugs, calenders, and wacky pen sets. A friend of mine recently ordered coffee cup wraps for her kid's teachers. She plans to stop at Starbucks, grab a few empty cups, place a gift card inside and !Voila! an instant caffeine-driven teacher gift!

If the idea of using the teacher's first name makes you feel uncomfortable-- an initial is a great alternative!
