closing shop.

I will be closing my etsy shop, Maternal Nest, in the next couple weeks. I am finishing up the last of my custom orders and then taking some personal time to plan for the future. I have not come to this decision lightly it has been something I have been thinking about for a while. This is not the end of my handmade life only the beginning of a new chapter. I appreciate all who have shopped my etsy store. It has been my pleasure to make things for you and your babies. I will keep you posted of any future endeavors or new projects... but for now I will say so long, while I reconnect with my own creativity and think about what is next.

Best wishes to everyone!

hello all just wanted to share a little preview of some new photos for my shop...



that is me modeling a new hospital gown from the Aviary 2 collection. now i must say, i am not the most comfortable in front of the camera, nor do i really like having my picture taken, but when you have a best friend who's a photographer you jump at the chance to get your picture taken. frankly, with photos like this i can't wait to jump in front of the camera again :)


to see more of her beautiful photography please visit her blog TESS SMITH PHOTOGRAPHY.

Here are more swatches available from the aviary 2 collection {fabric designed by Joel Dewberry for FREESPIRIT fabrics}...
these fabrics are available in the Gown-2-Go, Swaddle Pod and Swaddle Pod Lite, bibs, burp cloths and what ever else i can think up to make with it... it is BEAUTIFUL!


like the headband i was wearing in my photo shoot? this is a sneak peek of new things to come to my ETSY shop shortly... I am so in love with this headband ( i am keeping this one for myself ) I will be selling this style in several prints and colorways... they are great for sprucing up even the most casual of outfits!

more photos to come :)

i just wanted to take a moment to share a few things i am working on for the holiday season. i already posted my keepsake christmas ornament in my etsy shop and it has really gotten some good attention. there are a few more projects in the works which i hope to have posted in the next couple days. i'm having lots of fun making holiday decorations both for my shop and my own nest.

here are some shots of the burlap holiday banners i am making, there will also be more photos of the star garlands posted as soon as i can get them uploaded...
