Little Girl's Organic Skirt and Hand Knit Vest

I just love this little vest.  It's soft.  It's fuzzy.  It's hairy.  It's Fun!  This sweet little vest looks great with the beautiful organic cotton twirl skirt, or equally with a pair of jeans or colorful corduroys.  The skirt is fully lined (100% cotton voile) with attached polka dot ruffle and the over-skirt is 100% organic cotton.  Hours of twirling promised, all with a smile.  The vest is cropped, has an i-cord binding and cute pom poms at the bottom of the twisted cord tie.  I like it so much, I've ordered more yarn to make it in additional sizes.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  What FUN!

Grab an Insulated Lunch Bag!

 

Come Pick One Today!

I had fun putting this collage of lunch bags together, an explosion of color.  There are several more colors and patterns on the website, something for everyone, boy or girl (or Mom!)  Insulated lunch bags are a necessity these days to keep perishables from perishing!  I throw an ice pack in my kids lunch bags and drinks, yogurt, fruit sandwiches, etc. all stay cold until lunch time (and often until they come home!).  The wipeable oilcloth bags are a cinch to clean and last year after year.  Come pick one today!

A New Ad in Babekins Magazine, Issue 10!

This is my second digital ad in Babiekins Magazine.  It's a really cute magazine, with a European feel.  Up to now it's been strictly digital, but starting next month, they will be in print!  I have a full page ad in that issue, due out in October at Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.  Here's a link to the current issue, No. 10:  http://babiekinsmag.com/issue10
Enjoy!

A Triple Play!

The elusive triple play.  One of the hardest stats to earn in baseball.  Only three triple plays have occurred thus far in MLB this year.  With baseball quickly coming to its season end and the heat giving way to cooler evenings, our "Triple Play" is the perfect choice for a night out at the ball park.  Or, if football is your favored sport, a great layer to wear to a fall game.  The soft merino wool sweaters are relatively light weight but add a comfortable layer of warmth when there is a chill in the air.  If sports are not your thing, these sweaters can also be dressed up for any special occasion, even one that requires a tie!  These hand knit sweaters range in size from a 1-2T to a 5-6T.  Visit my on-line store and snag one for your little sports enthusiast.

An Essential Part of Every Meal...

Kids grow up fast these days.  Sometimes too fast.  At Barb Sweder Barrington, we can help with that.  We offer bibs for every stage of their eating development.  Our Infant Bib is perfect to cover their little chests when feeding them for the first time.  The wipeable oil cloth bibs tie in back and are great for new eaters.  When they get older and are more involved in the feeding process, in marches the Toddler Bib, just in time!  With a crumb catcher (or anything else for that matter) pocket, it's perfect to make sure that most of the food will either end up in their mouths, or in the pocket, and not on the floor (or in their laps)!  Just when they've figured out how to release the Velcro closure on the Toddler Bib, in races the Spaghetti Bib to save the day (and their clothes).  Our largest bib, it was designed to provide full coverage for those ambitious kids who want to feed themselves.  The bib ties in the back, so no Houdini acts at the table with a quick escape from the bib.  Like it's younger sibling, it has a larger crumb catcher pocket and provides full coverage of your ever growing child.  All bibs come in a variety of colors and can easily be cleaned with the swipe of a wet cloth.  They can even be thrown in the washer (no dryer, please).  Which ever bib you choose, it will be an essential part of every meal.  Bon appétit!

Patriotic Red, White and Blue!

The Fourth of July is always such a festive holiday and brings back fond memories of picnics with friends of my parents and their kids.  We didn't see them very often, apart from the 4th of July get togethers and other random visits.  There was always good food, a lot of outdoor fun and bugs--flying everywhere!  I can't remember what these flying creatures were, but there would be thousands of them, clinging to trees (or flying around your head!).  My sister and I would love to tempt fate and fling our sandals into the trees from our perfect launch-- swinging on the swing set! It would always send them flying!! To celebrate such fond memories, I wanted to do a patriotic post filled with lots of red, white and blue! Happy 4th of July everyone! Enjoy your fireworks, picnics and great times with family and friends, bugs included.

Golden Fall Colors

OK, so I know it's just the beginning of summer, but I'm already starting to think and work on some fall items.  Historically, I've not been much for golds and greens, but I've seen some really rich, beautiful colorful prints and deeply hued yarns, that I couldn't resist!  This little sweater (I'll have to remeasure, but likely an 18mo-2T size) has a delicate picot edge to offset it's bold gold color.  I plan on teaming it up with either the Liberty of London print shown behind it (skirt), or some cute graphic fabric that I just ordered, reminiscent of the old Oilily tops and skirts--boy do I miss those great outfits!  The sweater isn't quite done, as it needs just the right buttons, but should be soon and definitely in time for fall!
