Sweet Tater is on hiatus

Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't been up to date again....there have been so many things going on...

I did want to post that I will not be working/ making any custom orders from April 20 - June. I am happy to announce that we have bought a house and I will not have time to accommodate any orders. I will be back up and running as soon as we can get in and get everything settled. I am hoping that will be before the end of June, but who knows, really, when you are moving with a toddler...you tend to get sidetracked by babies, bubbles and "kickies" (stickers). I can't wait to get set up in a room where I will have more space....how exciting. I will let you know as soon as I am back up and running.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to show you guys a new option that I have with burp cloths. These are the new burp sets that I have come up with. Well, the only new thing is the colored burp cloth with initial, but the concept is new. I have had so many people comment on how lovely these are, but just can't afford it right now....well, I have put these together for a bit of variety and a touch of personalization for $20. Any color combination can be done. The colored cloths come in navy blue, light blue (as shown), lime green, dark pink, light pink and lavender.

new materials

Here are two new materials that I just had to have!!! I am a celestial freak and if I had seen some burp cloths or baby anything made out of this stuff, I would have gone broke buying it, so I had to have this. And who doesn't LOVE polka dots???? This super cute multi polka dot material is perfect for anyone with pink, green, blue and brown polka dots!

Pillowcase Dresses are now here!!!

Hello everyone!

I hope you have had a great 2009 thus far!

I would like to introduce the latest in the Sweet Tater line, Pillowcase Dresses. These little dresses are too sweet for words. They are a *must have* for Summer 2009! I admit, the picture above does this little dress no good. I assure you that they are very cute on!

The above dress was made out of an actual pillowcase, but I can also make these with any type of fabric. Prices vary, starting at $20. The total will depend upon any special ordering or requests. Size 6 mo. and up.

If you have any questions or would like to order one, please feel free to e-mail me.

In the words of my 19 month daughter.....Than Chu!

Good news!

I had my big craft show this weekend and let me just say....IT WAS A SUCCESS! I was so excited, it exceeded my expectations. It looks like Sweet Tater and Co. will be around for a little bit longer. Now I just have to get all my ducks in a row for this to be a legitimate business because I see success in my future. That means that I have to start charging tax. I told myself that I was going to take the rest of the year off, but I am so excited about some ideas that I have, that I am getting back to the sewing machine tonight. I have some some really amazing material that I can't wait to work with. It is more expensive, but hopefully I will be able to get it at a decent price and be able to keep my prices low. My goal is to provide quality, handmade, baby items for an affordable price. There are still a few of us moms out there that really like the handmade items and would like to able to afford them. I also am going to try my hand at making pillowcase dresses. I love them and want to see my daughter in them ALL summer. I am going to try one tonight and let you know how it goes. If all goes well, I will be offering those in '09, if not, then I won't. Wish me luck.


Also, I would like to send a plug out for Tickled Pink Monogramming. You can visit her site at tickledpinkmonogramming.com. She has some super cute items on her site. I am just trying to spread the word for moms who love personalized items.

vintage material

Finally! After talking about them FOREVER, I get them made and posted. This is some GREAT vintage material that I found a while back in MS, but didn't buy...luckily, I found it online and snatched it real quick! I have made blankets out of these materials....obviously by the picture of the crib. I posted that picture so you can see just how big the blankets are. They are not quite a full yard. Each blanket is a cotton front with a flannel back. The Santa material has a red back, the children playing (on blue) has a buttercream flannel back, and the ballerinas have an oatmeal colored back. They are so cute, if I do say so myself. Each blanket is $20 and I have two of each.
