Fabric Instock!

Hey All! Sorry I have been so busy lately, I havent had anytime to blog! I have had several people ask me about an esty shop. I am working on trying to get some stock so I can put some items on there, but I am having trouble keeping anything in stock. Once I make a canopy, it is usually sold within a few days. Which I have no complaints there. But I have some fabric in stock right now. This is what I have on hand. If you are looking for something different, I would be happy to find something more to your liking. It will take longer since I will have to order fabric from my supplier, but it is worth it to get what you want! You can email me at carlybirddesigns(at)hotmail(dot)com with questions or orders. Bare with me on the pictures, my camera battery died and I really wanted to get this up, so I had to take the pictures with my little crappy camera.

I also have 2 tutorials in the works for you all!

Rear Facing Until 2

Yesterday I was watching the local morning show when they brought up the new recommendation for rear facing car seats. The age is now until 2!
They threw out the statistic that children who were rear facing until 2 were 75% less likely to die or have serious injuries in an accident. The statistic is staggering. It's a huge number of children who are safe after an accident. The old recommendation was 1 year old and 20 lbs.
My little boy didn't hit 20 lbs. until he was 14 months so he wasn't turned around until then. But being a parent whose child was turned around by the time he weighed enough, I 'm not sure if the next one will make it until 2. She is very petite and will probably be rear facing until 18 months since she probably won't hit 20 lbs. until then.
I remember it was heaven when my first turned around. He was so much more happy in his seat. Before I remember he would scream in his seat, just because he was bored and had figured out how to do it. I recall trying to avoid driving at all costs! If my girl starts doing it, she will definitely not be making it to 2 years! But I guess we will try and see. Not sure where her feet are going to go though...

The Nursing Frock

I came across this on etsy the other day. What an ingenious idea! The Nursing frock. It covers your front and back while nursing. The major reason why I avoid feeding my little one in public! Last thing I need is people check out my back. Talk about uncomfortable! Not to mention she has upgrades for ruffles on the front as well as pokcets. Looks like a shirt! So cute! Can't wait to get mine!
Well props to you Lady LaDuke!
Check her out on etsy too!

A Car Seat Canopy Plethora!

I have done several Car Seat Canopies lately. I am currently making another one. I love to do these. They are so much fun! I have recently changed the design to included elastic on the back. This helps keep the wind from catching the back and blowing it off. So much nicer!

This is my car seat canopy
