Fluffy Cakes

When I found out I was pregnant, I immediately thought, "I want a little girl!!!" If anyone knows me well, they know I love little girlie things. I'm talking Mary Jane's, bows, ribbons, ruffles, dresses, high heels, the works. I even told my best friend that I was going to put her boys in blue tutus because I was so desperate to buy a big fluffy tutu.
As I got to thinking about it I knew that whether Ev was a boy or a girl, I would be blessed and there are pluses and minuses to both. When I thought about the pros of a little lady, I came up with this list-
-Lunches and movies (like my mom and I used to do all summer...every summer)
- Tutus
-Bows, flower headbands, pink, dresses, ruffles...you get the point.
- Planning a wedding and seeing my baby up there on the pedestal with her big white dress on.
- Little pink shoes
-Shopping
Do you notice a trend with this list? I sure did. Money! And a lot of it! Then I realized having a little boy who loves his mommy wouldn't be so bad. Looking back now that I have my little guy, I should have wanted a boy all along. He really does fit my personality and my budget a lot better. I also have a lot of great friends with little girls or little girls on the way so I can get my shopping fix through them.

Now that that rambling is finished, I can get to my point. I have soured high and low for cute and cool boy things like I have seen EVERYWHERE for little girls. I have pretty much nailed the clothes end with Baby Gap and Janie and Jack. I had and am still having a hard time with boy accessories. Seeing as my son rocks a faux hawk and wears Pumas, he needs to keep up his image when it comes to his burp cloths, bibs, lovies, etc.
This is where Fluffy Cakes comes in. I started making him lovies and burp cloths made with fun patterns and fluffy fabric. I found that the burp cloths from the store were either too thin or not big enough. I wanted them to be made from quality material with extra padding for little faces. From this idea I started making them for friends and family members and in the end Fluffy Cakes is born!
I received a few really cool burp cloths from friends when Ev was born and I wanted to duplicate them for a lower price. I found that buying them online was super expensive, so my goal is to make hip, fun and fluffy accessories for babies. I am starting small with burp cloths and lovies and working my way up.
If you have a friend who is having a baby or just had a little one, consider a one of a kind gift. I would be happy to make something for you.

Right now I am ordering my labels and thinking about pricing, but I am thinking $10 for burp cloths and $12 for lovies. All of them will have taggies upon request for an extra $1.

Below is a lovie I made for Everett's girlfriend Addyson. It is complete with taggies and a big red button in the corner. It's so she can hold it and think of Ev at night:0)
