Make It & Love It Meet-Up Giveaway

2012-03-04T17:11:00.000-07:00

Have you ever read Ashley's Make It & Love It blog? It is one of the blogs I read religiously, and I am pretty picky about blogs, believe me. Her's is truly amazing and she also is one of the nicest bloggers out there. She is beyond creative and makes the most adorable items that you can 1. make easily and 2. use immediately.

Check her out here:

I love it, so when I heard she was going to be hosting a meet-up in Denver, just 30 minutes from our house, I nearly flipped! I knew I had to attend, but I also wanted to offer a giveaway as my little way for thanking her for her blogging awesomeness and to hopefully allow a local mama to win something special and fun from lilybean.

So, on March 10th at the Spring Soiree Denver Blogger Meet-Up, lilybean will be offering a giveaway of a comeplete set! All four pieces: terrycloth bib, burp cloth, wipes case, and changing pad! Woo hoo! They will be offered in the popular (and gender neutral) Owls in Bermuda fabric, so be sure to check out the meet-up details here and come by to join the party next weekend!

See you soon!

Perfectly Purple Etsy Treasury

2012-03-04T16:57:00.001-07:00

This set from Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 line has been a surprise bestseller! I have always LOVED the Aviary 2 line, and I am obviously not alone. I made a small blanket for Lily with this set and just can't get enough, so whenever anyone orders this print, I am so excited to work with his fabric again :)

I mean, honestly, aren't these the best prints ever!?

Here is a purple treasury we were just featured in inspired by this purple set:

Our New Changing Pads

2012-01-31T20:22:00.002-07:00

Our new travel changing pads are now available! For the time being, they are made-to-order and will be a custom listing through Etsy. If you are interested in adding one to your trio set, contact me via email for a quote and to see if the fabric is available.

These travel changing pads measure roughly 17"x25" and feature a double layer of cotton batting to keep baby comfy in any situation. They fold in half twice and close with a velcro tab. They are thin enough to slide into any diaper bag and even large purses, making them perfect for the on-the-go mom and baby.

These pads are machine washable and feature our favorite designer fabrics on the outside and soft quiting on the inside. You will not be disappointed and can rest assured the lilybean's love of high quality materials and attention to detail extend into each of these changing pads.

Sneak Peek....

I am absolutely ecstatic about how these baby changing pads are turning out!

Coming in 2012....

2011-12-27T09:40:00.003-07:00

Happy Holidays! I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing and memorable holiday season. It was Lily's first Christmas and we had a wonderful time watching her try to eat the wrapping paper and play with all of the boxes :)

Exciting new things are on the horizon for lilybean in 2012!

First, I am thrilled to announce that we will be offering baby changing pads that will match our diaper wipes cases! There have been quite a few requests for these, so our new combinations will be a bib and burp cloth set and a baby wipes case and changing pad set, or a set of all four. I am still tweaking the final details, but I hope to be offering them in the early new year. These will be a wonderful addition to your diaper bag and will also help keep baby healthy by providing a barrier between changing tables and their soft skin. Plus, they will be thin enough to fit into any diaper bag or even large purse. More details and pictures soon!

Also, our pictures and website will be getting an overhaul thanks to our gifted guru, Luke. I cannot be more excited about this because he is honestly the most talented person I know :)

Lots of excitement with this new year and we'll be sure to keep you updated on all of the wonderful happenings here, on Facebook, and on Twitter. If you haven't done so already, be sure to like/follow us so you always know the newest happenings here at lilybean.

Thanks so much and Happy 2012!

Holiday Giveaway Day~ Wipes Case & Bib Set

2011-12-12T17:18:00.007-07:00

In the spirit of the holidays, I am giving away one of my favorite Amy Butler patterns, the Lotus in Cherry. It just looks like the holidays~ with the soft red and the ivory background. And, in the spirit of Giveaway Day from sewmamasew.com, I thought it would be the perfect way to introduce people to lilybean and receive something beautiful for themselves and baby this season.

So, here we go! I don't typically do comments on this site, so that's where this is a new experience for me.... and I am excited!

This is the first Christmas season we are spending with our 7 month-old daughter and I have been looking forward to this for a long time. In fact, last Christmas I was as round as a snowman, even though I was just 4 months pregnant! My husband and I are looking forward to creating our new family traditions this holiday, like driving around to see the lights, getting a new ornament for the tree, setting out cookies for Santa, and all of those wonderful things that I still remember from my own childhood.

To enter this giveaway, please leave your name & contact info and share one holiday tradition that you remember and/or one that we will definitely need to add to our own list so that Lily doesn't miss out on anything special this time of year!

Entries must be received by December 16 at 5pm (PST) and I will choose the winner at random. This item is ready to go, so I will ship it out anywhere in the world as soon as you are chosen! Spread the word to friends and family members with a new baby in their life about this giveaway and check out our Etsy Shop for additional sets and fabric patterns for the little one this season.

Thanks to SewMamaSew for this wonderful idea!

Good luck!

Bibs Are Back

2011-12-11T18:07:00.001-07:00

Back by popular demand, we are now offering our individual bibs on Etsy. You can see the full collection here. These are a wonderful addition to your set purchase because we all know babies need more than one bib in a day! Bibs are offered in our regularly-stocked fabrics and are available individually or in a set of three. You will also notice that our bibs now attach with velcro (I will be updating the rest of the photos over the holiday break). Enjoy!
