One of the first things I bought when I discovered I was having a boy was this handmade pinwheel mobile (“Ties and Dress Shirts” pattern) from Dosta Beba on Etsy.

It is so well made and Oliver absolutely loves it. Each pinwheel is just perfect and it was shipped with loving care – not a dent or a scratch anywhere on the mobile.

I am also madly in love with these burp cloths from Punkin Junction on Etsy:

I will admit that I have purchased at least five sets (or is it six?) for Oliver and it’s not too many for my messy baby. They are very absorbent and if you’re anal retentive like me, you will appreciate how easily they fold up into neat little bundles

This hat is just too precious for words:

It’s from HuggaBeans on Etsy and at $8 it’s a steal for handmade loveliness. Oliver wore this hat in the hospital and I was so sad the day he outgrew it.

Speaking of hats this tangerine and turquoise pixie hat is one of my favorites, too:

It’s from Deusprovidebit on Etsy and the quality is just outstanding.

I swear every time I buy something handmade and it arrives better than I even imagined it to be, I am amazed at the number of talented people in this world. And the value for the quality of goods is just amazing, too. So buy handmade!

I’m thrilled to announce the birth of our precious son, Oliver Edward Hodgson! He arrived on October 22 and we’re madly in love!

We’re also pretty busy tending to his every need. This whole parenthood thing is no joke!

So change is upon us and I am so very excited and proud of my new identity and my new site. Once again I’m working with the fabulous Jenny Medford of Websy Daisy here in Austin and I could not be more thrilled with the way everything is shaping up. I’m still working on the online shop portion of the site and hope to have more products listed in the coming weeks. Hopefully this will be an easier alternative to Etsy for those of you not familiar with the site or adverse to registering for yet another account.

I have also been busy moving my Etsy shop over to the new location and I’ve got a few Valentines listed if you’re feeling amorous. Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so get ready to spread some puppy love!

As always, I can customize with any breed or combination of breeds so give me a shout if you don’t see what you’re looking for.

Thanks for finding me here on the new blog and check back to see how the site takes shape as everything is finalized.
