Etsy Shop!!!

June 14, 2011 by Bethany Sy

I’m SO excited to launch our new Etsy website, and we’re finally ready to share it with you!!! My mom, sister-in-law Carrie and I are having a blast crafting handmade baby/child items… how lucky am I to have such creative family members! We call our Esty shop “The Fruitful Vine”.

My mom has been making these adorable patchwork animals using vintage fabric, reclaimed buttons, and her trusty sewing machine! You can have any animal custom made, and even incorporate pieces of your own fabric to match a nursery theme, or for pure sentimental value! She made two of them for my baby girls… probably my favorite items in the nursery!

She also makes these super unique and simple “Happy/Sad” dolls that are a perfect ‘first dolly’ for a baby or toddler. They have a happy face on one side, and a sad face on the other… and are just the right size for baby’s chubby hand to hold onto!

Sister Carrie is skilled at knitting and has been making these adorable knit earflap hats with optional cocoons! She also shared her skills with my unborn daughters, and I can’t wait to have newborn pictures taken in these!! She also takes custom orders!

And of course, you all know about my obnoxious flower headbands made from vintage fabric…

We hope you stop by our Etsy shop and snoop around for a bit! We know you’ll like what you see, and buy a bunch of stuff for your second cousin’s baby shower! Here’s the link!

Hold finger on screen to pause and read! Making l Hold finger on screen to pause and read!

Making lunches is weirdly fun for me. So I snap a pic here and there to share and give ideas! Keep an eye on my stories for more! 🫶

I try to get at least one fruit and one veggie in there. For main dishes, some ideas besides sandwiches are: bagel, noodles with butter/parm, hotdog/bun, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, rotisserie chicken, ham/cheese rolled up in tortilla, and don’t forget about LEFTOVERS!!

My kids would rather have cold leftovers than a sandwich, so they don’t complain. But there’s also thermos containers if you love your kids more than I do. 

Don’t forget a sweet treat! This is a great way to get rid of Halloween or parade candy. 😬
Every summer, I learn a little more about gardenin Every summer, I learn a little more about gardening. This year I learned:

🥒don’t transplant cucumbers after they’re established or it’ll stunt their growth and they won’t climb your trellis
🥕till deeper for carrots so they aren’t short and fat
🥦plant cruciferous veggies earlier in the spring so they’ll have time to mature fully

 🙌Things I finally nailed: tomatoes, watermelon, basil, lettuce/spinach, strawberries, greenbeans. 

What did you learn this year? And what have you mastered?

It’s so hard to stand by and watch our kiddos no It’s so hard to stand by and watch our kiddos not feel good, am I right?! 

@Dimetapp Cold & Cough is our go-to for itchy, stuffy, runny noses and coughs! And I love that it is alcohol free, trusted by pharmacists, and the kids love that the taste is actually sweet! No more spitting out yucky medicine, here. Exactly what they need to feel better, faster. Now we can finally get back to doing all of the things we love together, like getting crafty at home with some fun DIYs. 

What’s your next DIY project now that we’re all feeling better?!

Use as directed. @dimetapp #DimetappPartner #backtoourregularlyscheduledchaos
