Closing Shop

I will be closing shop after Christmas!
There are lots of changes pending for my family. My husband is currently in the job search, and we plan to be moving at the end of December. I need to be freed up to pack, move, and then settle our family into our new home and town.
I am not sure when things will start up again. It will all depend on how the transition is going.

For now, I am still taking orders, but I am not making any new bag orders. I do have some bags in stock, mostly totes (only a few diaper bags). I am also sold out of sippy cups and coffee mugs.

Just email me if you have any questions about ordering this month!

...sassy shirts...

This is a sweet Sassy Shirt, a gift for a little girl in the process of being adopted from China:


This is the second year I have gotten to do Alex's Birthday Shirt! This year I also did a sippy cup insert, Thomas the Train to match his shirt. Here is his first birthday.
Happy Birthday Alex!



Here is another cutie sporting her sassy shirt:

My bag

So, my last post was about the Damask bags. I landed on a Damask bag for myself, and I love it. The "K" is in the Maggie Font.
It is a great carry all. I've always been a big bag person. I would not at all consider myself a minimalist, so the itty biddy purses have never been for me.
I can keep my huge wallet, my business wallet, my coupon bag, my camera, my iphone, my bible, and there is room to spare.
I find myself throwing things that I don't have hands for, like my kids sippy cups (both of them!) if they are unwilling at that moment to carry them themselves, the mail, makeup bag (to do my makeup in the car!)...
I actually put my coffee mug in there (with a spill proof lid) a few days ago as we were on the run, and (confession time) I forgot about it. I found it Saturday night while out to dinner with the fam. Granted, it has been a tremendously busy week, and this was the first chance I had to sit, while not being at the computer or in front of my embroidery machine! That is, the 10 minutes we were waiting for our table I decided to check to see if there was anything I could throw out, and tada! there is was. Pretty sad that my coffee mug essentially was lost in my purse for 2 days, but I love it anyway. It has great snaps on the side, that makes it more like a purse. Undo the snaps, and it makes tons more room! (Just in case...)
I was only a girl scout for a few years, but some things I have not let go of.
Always be prepared.

Introducing...

Personalized Sippy Cups!

These are so cute. My kids love their new, personalized cups.
I know the church nursery will love them as well. :)
It will be nice to know that there will be no mistaking who's cup is who's when I leave the kids in the nursery.

The cups are not yet on my website, but will be soon. They are available for ordering now. I have teal tops currently in stock, and will be ordering more colors soon.
They are $15 dollars, which includes the personalization.
Like all The Cutesy Mom products these are customizable, so email me with the colors and style you would like. Any fabric swatch you see on my website are available, and much more!

Anna's Toddler Tote

Here is Anna's Toddler Tote. Love it.
I love that the sippy cups are on the outside of the bag. "Leak proof" must be a relative term, cause in my experience...THEY LEAK. So, I really like that I am not always worried about if the bag gets turned upside down or on its side, afraid of the sippy cup leaking and my bag getting all moldy...which was the death of Kenneth's backpack. Yuck.
No mold here!

Toddler Totes

This is a great bag when you are ready to scale down to the essentials. Fits Wipes Case, 4 diapers, and an extra pair of clothes comfortably. Pockets on the side are just the right size for those Platex Sippy cups!
