Nikki’s Little House Custom Embroidered Ooga Shirt!!

I bought a special shirt for my son’s first birthday, but after washing it looked like it wasn’t going to fit on his big day. So when I found out that Nikki’s Little House had Ooga Monster embroidery, I was all over it!

I just told her what color shirt I wanted and which monster I wanted and I am SO happy with how it turned out! The shirt itself is very nice also, not cheap or thin.

I guess a lot of people who have been cloth diapering for a while are “over” the ooga prints. I don’t have any ooga, though I really liked the brown color they ended up not printing, and I like the brand new turquoise. I’m not wild about the other colors they have in the ooga fabric. The monsters are just so darn cute though!!

I wish I had asked her to make be a custom birthday bib too, and now I want some embroidered pants too!

We use our sleepy wrap most of the time, but we use a stroller when we go for walks. I want this stroller blanket she has so bad! I wish I’d had something like that for my daughter, I had never even heard of such a thing. NLH has lots of other stuff, but the other thing I’ve been spotting for a while is the custom boppy cover. Super soft minky, personalized for you, and way cheaper than mass produced.

Handmade Items Review

Boo Boo Bag

I finally won a “FFS” drawing on Hyenacart! I’ve entered hundreds of them, and that’s no exaggeration! “FFS” means that the seller is offering the item up for free, the “winner” of the drawing just has to pay shipping. Basically, anything I have any interest in, where the shipping is reasonable (to me) I enter.

What I won was a “Boo Boo Bag” from the congo “Bliss,” seller Homemade Love. The shipping was $1.50 and I figured that was fair. I’d pay that much for a cold pack at the store. The winner was able to choose boy or girl fabric, round or square. I didn’t really care since I have one of each (boy/girl, not circles/squares hee hee.)

The print is really cute and it smells like fruit loops or something. It didn’t come with any care or use instructions, so I’m afraid to wash it. The fabric looks really thin in places and I don’t want to end up with a hole in it.

I was kind of disappointed that the finishing was so sloppy. I’m spoiled by my turned and topstitched WAHM made diapers! But, I guess you get what you pay for, so it’s all good! 🙂
