Introducing Hudson the Pirate...

2008-05-02T19:06:00.001-07:00

How stinking cute is this!?

This adorable little mean man is heading to a great girl, Marcie. She is one of my co-workers at one of my schools and is expecting her first little one, Hudson, this summer. One of my other co-workers, Susan, ordered it for her because her husband loves pirates. I think that is too cute!

I love the way he turned out and the eye patch is just too much!!!

Thank you again for your Maggie Moo order, Susan!

I hope that Marcie and Nick love it!

Introducing Marley the Motorcycle...

2008-05-02T18:58:00.000-07:00

...Introducing Marley the Motorcycle...

I love this shirt.

This sweet shirt is heading to Mr. Evan that is also receiving Evan the Monster Truck. His mom requested that he also have a motorcycle shirt. I have to say that this shirt has LOADS of detail, just in thread. I think it turned out really great!

I just know that Evan is going to be so sweet in both of his Maggie Moo shirts! Thanks Shannon for your orders! I can't wait for you to receive them!

Luke the Owl for Mr. Coop and Mr. Andy...

2008-05-02T18:54:00.000-07:00

These sweet shirts are heading to the lucky little boys of Christy. She also ordered the K-9 shirts from me. I love how these little owls turned out and the red just makes them pop.

I hope you love them Christy! Thank you so much for your business!

Introducing Coco the Cupcake...

2008-05-02T18:40:00.000-07:00

I have already done one cupcake shirt, but I didn't have a name so I opened it up to my readers to give me some suggestions. Congratulations goes to Karin for suggesting Coco! I loved them all, but I think that one suits this shirt the best! Thanks for all your suggestions!

This sweet set was for a wonderful co-worker of mine. She purchased this set for her Youth Minister's daughter, Aspen. I love that name. She really loved my first cupcake and then when I saw these shorts, it was a hit. I carefully matched the fabric to bring out the best of the sweet colors of the shorts! I love this set so much! Maggie already has one in the works!!!

Thank you so much for your order, Sherry! I hope that Ms. Aspen loves it!

Introducing Evan the Monster Truck...

2008-04-27T09:06:00.000-07:00

I love that my boy clothing gallery is growing...and I LOVE this shirt!

Shannon contacted me and requested a Monster Truck for her son, Evan. She said he loves monster trucks and motorcycles. I have the motorcycle shirt in the works, but I couldn't wait to post this shirt!

I love the Amy Butler Dot Fabric for the truck and all the detail just makes it look real!
I think the mud that the truck is splashing around in is my favorite part!

Shannon, thank you so much for your orders! I hope you love shirt #1!

Would love to hear what you think about this new design!

Alex the Monkey for Emory...

2008-04-26T06:00:00.000-07:00

Amy in South Carolina contacted me to order a sweet little monkey for her little monkey, Emory. I love that name. She asked me if we could create Alex the Monkey, but girlie.

Girlie to me...means...a sweet little bow! I love how this shirt turned out and I hope that Ms. Emory loves it as well.

Thank you for your order Amy! I can't wait to see Ms. Emory in her new Maggie Moo shirt!

K-9 Shirts for Cooper and Andy...

2008-04-21T15:03:00.001-07:00

These sweet shirts are for some very lucky little boys. Christy contacted me and placed an order for several shirts for her twin boys. She has been so great to work with and I am so glad that she loves these shirts. This is the first set of three. Her boys are going to be dressed to the 9's in Maggie Moo Originals.

Thanks for your orders Christy. I can't wait to show you the others!

What do you think? Would love your opinions! Thanks!

A Flower and Frog for Ms. Savannah...

2008-04-20T15:38:00.001-07:00

This order is for a little sweetie that will be here later this year. Her mom, Lana, contacted me after seeing an order I did for a teacher friend of mine with Tessa the Frog. She wanted a Flower and a Froggie shirt for Sweet Savannah's arrival. I love the way they turned out and can't wait to see pictures of her in them. Lana lives in Florida...can you believe that Maggie Moo Originals are making there way there! I am so excited!

Thanks Lana for your orders and I hope you love them. Good luck through the rest of your pregnancy!

The Alligator Is My Friend...

2008-04-19T17:10:00.000-07:00

This post is a very special one to me and takes me back to some wonderful memories. I worked at a camp here locally called Camp Widijiwagan where I taught tennis and was a camp counselor for one summer during college. I loved it! It was actually the first time Josh, my husband, and I worked together. Every morning, we would sign songs and get ready for the day. One of the songs was called "The Alligator Is My Friend." As the summer went on, the camp leader would dedicate the song to me because my camp nickname was Alie. Get it...Alliegator...I loved it.

The song goes...
The alligator is my friend...
And she can be your friend too...
I would rather have her has my friend...
Then wear her on my shoe...
(then you would make your hands like an alligator mouth and go...)

Alll--iiii-ggg-aaaa-ttttt--ooo0-rrr

The camp leader was named Merle. I loved him. He made "work" fun for everyone! So this shirt is named after my friend Merle.

This sweet shirt is for Alex, owner of Alex the Monkey. His mom, Angie, contacted me and said that he would love an alligator shirt...Could I do one? Of course! He is going to look so adorable in this. I started with yummy blue shirt and added some adorable Amy Butler dot fabric for the alligator and coordinating orange dots for the bird on the back.

Angie, I hope you and Alex love his new shirt! Thanks for your order! I hope to make more for Mr. Alex soon!

Introducing Harrison the Hippo...

2008-04-14T16:19:00.001-07:00

I LOVE this design. It might be one of my personal favorites.

This set is for a great girl, Sarah A.

She is expecting her third little sweetie this summer...her first boy. She is so excited about having a boy. She works a ton with my sister, Brea, at her consignment sale. At Brea's latest sale, Sarah mentioned that she was naming her little boy Harrison...obviously, I love that name. She said...How cute would it be for you to make me a Harrison the Hippo...I LOVED it!

I love the way that this whole set turned out. She wanted the Harrison the Hippo shirt and a burp cloth set. One burp cloth with a hippo and a small "h" and the other with his initials..."hda."

I used a ton of Amy Butler dot fabric and some yummy felt. I think it all turned out really sweet...

Sarah, thanks for your business...I hope you LOVE your items.

I can't wait till Mr. Harrison is here to see him in his hippo shirt!

Luke the Owl for Mr. Parker...

2008-04-12T20:59:00.000-07:00

This super duper cute shirt is going to Mr. PaRkEr...You may remember Parker from Parker the VW with Surfboard on top. Parker's mom, Erica, contacted me and requested an owl shirt for Parker. She said that he is in love with owls here lately and she knew he would love an owl original shirt.

You might remember Luke the Owl from this post. I originally made an owl for one of my awesome nephews, Luke. He loved it and so did I.

I think this shirt is so stinkin' cute and it is going to look so adorable on Parker.

Thanks again for your order, Erica. I can't wait to see pictures of Parker sporting his new shirt!

Harper the Owl is HUGE...

2008-04-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

It has been a busy week in my sewing world...Can you tell?

This shirt is going to a daughter of one of my teachers. Her daughter is in a sorority...their symbol is an owl. She got to see the original Harper the Owl Onesie and loved it. She said she had to have one for her daughter, Leigh.

I love the way this shirt came out. It is the first time I have ever made something for an adult...I am pleased with it's personality. It is full of awesome Amy Butler fabric and tons of felt.

I hope that Pam and Leigh both love it! I also hope that Leigh will be proud to wear it!

Introducing Maria the Yummy Ice Cream Cone...

2008-04-12T20:39:00.000-07:00

This adorable shirt is going to a little sweetie named Maria. She is the granddaughter to one of my most favorite people ever!! Mrs. Burt was my Principal at one of my school the first 4 years of teaching career. She retired 2 years ago and I have missed her so much since then. I could go on for hours on how Mrs. Burt loved me, encouraged me, and led me to be the teacher I am today. I just love her.

She contacted me to request a sweet shirt for her little sweetie, Maria. She said that her granddaughter loves ice cream cones and PINK...no need to say anything else! I am all over that!

I love the way that this ice cream cone came out. I used some yummy pink and green fabrics and lots of layers. It looks so springy and happy...I love it! It reminds me of this awesome ice cream place in Indiana that Josh's family always takes me to in the summer...

Mrs. Burt, I hope you love the shirt. I hope that little Maria loves it as well. I just love you and adore you for the awesome woman you are. Thank you for supporting me and my craft!

Miniature Alex the Monkey...

2008-04-12T20:33:00.000-07:00

I love this onesie. This onesie is going to a great teacher friend, Susan.

It is for her nephew that will be here this summer. She wanted a sweet little version of Alex the Monkey for her little sweetie. I know she loved it, because she showed everyone at my school! It was so great to see her reaction and to know that she is so thrilled to give it on to her nephew. I think it turned out so sweet!

Thanks Susan! Thanks for your excitement about my craft!

Cupcake...Without a Name!!!???!!!

2008-04-09T19:04:00.001-07:00

This adorable shirt is for a new friend of mine, Amy, out in Murfreesboro. Her sweet daughter Savannah is the owner of Georgia the Giraffe. Amy contacted me because she needed a gift for a friend...She told me to be creative and just surprise her.

I love the way this sweet cupcake came out. It is made with some adorable springy fabrics in pinks, greens, and more pinks. The sweetest detail on this shirt has to be all the buttons. They make the shirt so lovable.

Amy, I hope you love this shirt! I can't wait to hear what MaKenzie thinks about it!

~Here is the fun part...This cupcake needs a name! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think his/her new name should be. Needs to be a good one...once it is named, that name sticks with every cupcake shirt made. There are no "rules"...so be creative!

Thanks for your help on this one!!!

Introducing Mr. Willie the Whale...

2008-04-09T18:56:00.000-07:00

This shirt is for one of my co-workers at one of my schools...

All these pregnant women...

Oh Me Oh My!

Carrie is due with her first little one in a couple of short weeks...a baby boy. I thought she might love a whale shirt for him.

He is done in some adorable blue print whale fabric with a black button for the eye.

Buttercup...Giant Buttercup...

2008-04-03T19:23:00.001-07:00

This sweet shirt is heading to New Hampshire...A great friend of mine, Karin, ordered this sweet shirt for a friend's little girl. Her birthday is coming up and she thought that a giant Buttercup shirt was exactly what she needed.

I hope that Ms. Ally loves her shirt, Karin!

Thanks so much for your order and I can't wait to see you soon! Love you!!!

Introducing Asher the VW Bus...

2008-04-03T19:15:00.000-07:00

I love this shirt...This shirt is for Mr. Asher, who is the brother to Lilly.

After their mom, Amy, saw Ms. Lilly's Flower Shirt that I created, she asked me to custom make something for Asher as well. I think that this VW Bus with Surfboard turned out too sweet and I can't wait to see both Asher and Lilly in their Maggie Moo Originals.

Thanks Amy for your orders! I hope you love them!

Alex The Monkey is LOVED!!!

2008-04-02T08:44:00.000-07:00

Sweet little Alex received his Maggie Moo Monkey shirt in the mail yesterday and according to his mom...he LOVES it. She even sent me the sweetest email this morning...

...
Hi Alison,

Thought I'd tell you that Alex had to sleep in his shirt and this morning I literally had to yank it off him....he kept crying "Nooo my mooonkey!"

So do you do jammies?! LOL!

Thanks again.

Angie
...

How cute is that??? Angie also featured me on her blog with the sweetest mention and some adorable pictures of Alex and his new best friend...

Thanks Angie for your order! I can't wait to get started on our next little project! Mr. Alex is a little cutie! I am thrilled that he loves his new shirt!

Introducing Alex the Monkey...

2008-03-29T19:49:00.001-07:00

...This shirt has to be my new FAVORITE!

This sweet shirt is heading out to Angie and her son Alex. She contacted me after seeing Parker's shirt and wanted me to custom something special for her son. Alex and Parker are the best of buds. How cute are they going to be with their sweet Maggie Moo Original shirts on!?!

This shirt has a TON of detail, which I love to do and feel as though with more practice, I am getting better at. I backed this shirt with some adorable blue dots fabric, then some yummy chocolate felt, orange and white dot Amy Butler fabric (my favorite fabric designer ever!!!), cute facial features and some navy groovy buttons and Alex the Monkey came to life.

I loved making this shirt and hope that Alex loves wearing it! Thanks for your order Angie. I can't wait to hear what you and Mr. Alex thinks of his new shirt!

Introducing Harper the Owl...

2008-03-29T19:43:00.000-07:00

A great teacher friend of mine is expecting her first baby this summer.

Her name is going to Harper.

She contacted me and asked if I could make Ms. Harper a sweet little girlie owl shirt. I think that it came out too cute and I just hope that Nicki and Don love it as much as I loved making it.

Harper has some adorable Chocolate Lollipop designer fabric for her body and face, hot pink fabric and soft pink felt for her wings, some cool brown embossed felt for the branch, and of course buttons for her eyes.

Thank you for your order, Nicki! I can't wait to meet Ms. Harper. Your going to be such an amazing mommy. I am blessed to work with wonderful teachers, such as you.

I hope you love her!

...Maggie Moo Mentions...

2008-03-29T17:03:00.000-07:00

I am THRILLED with all of my mentions lately. I have the best people in my life and some of the coolest the kiddos wearing and owning Maggie Moo Originals. It is such a humbling experience to read such nice words about you and your work.

Erin's sweet son received the Maggie Taggie Blanket with Parker the VW on it and LOVES it. She was so sweet with her mention about me on her blog with the adorable pictures of Finnegan with his blanket. I am so glad he loves it. Those blankets are so soft...I am thinking about making myself one!! :)

Here is a sweet picture of Finnegan asleep with his Maggie Taggie Blanket. Thanks Erin for your sweet mention and I am so glad that Finn loves it! To check out the rest of her mention, click HERE.

Erica, mom to Parker (Parker the VW w/ Surfboard) and Jazmyne (Ms. Edna, Themla, and Louise) left another sweet mention on her blog about me and my Maggie Moo Creations. Craziest thing, I ran into her and her sweet kiddos the other day at the Nashville Zoo and Ms. Jazmyne was wearing her adorable shirt.

Thank you, Erica, for your awesome mention! I am so glad that Jazmyne loves her shirt. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for your business! To read the rest of her mention, click HERE.

Maggie Taggie Blanket for Mr. Finnegan...

2008-03-24T14:36:00.000-07:00

This sweet Maggie Taggie Blanket is for a very special little man.

Erin is a sister to one of my most favorite people in the world. I work with her sister, Beth, at one of my schools. Erin and I have never met, but Beth always tells me that I remind her of her sister...which she loves because she doesn't get to see her that often. Erin's little sweetie is Mr. Finnegan. He is adorable and through all the pictures that I have seen, has to have the best personality.

Erin contacted me to order a Maggie Taggie Blanket for him. She wanted an adorable "Parker the VW with surfboard" on top to accent one of the sides. I LOVE all the ribbons that I picked for this taggie. I think that blue and chocolate brown are too cute together. I carefully placed all the ribbons and triple stitched them down for added security. I used one of the ribbons for my logo tag and added some awesome buttons for the wheels on the VW and the rest was history.

These taggies are a ton of work...but, I love them. They are super-duper soft and Maggie loves her taggie blanket that I made her.

Thank you so much Erin for your order and business. I can't wait to see little Finnegan with his taggie blanket. I hope you love it!

...I would love to custom make your little sweetie a Maggie Taggie Blanket...

...I would also LOVE your feedback on this one...What do you think?...

Sweet Savannah in Georgia the Giraffe...

2008-03-24T14:31:00.000-07:00

Amy, Savannah's mom, sent this adorable picture of her in her Georgia the Giraffe Maggie Moo Original shirt.

She said that Savannah never wants to sit still so this was the best she could get. I think it is pretty cute!

Thanks for sending it over Amy! I am thrilled that Savannah loves her shirt!

Happy Easter from The Harris Home...

2008-03-23T22:50:00.000-07:00

...Happy Easter...

Love,

Josh, Alie, and Maggie Moo

Introducing Ms. Edna, Thelma, & Louise...

2008-03-23T18:22:00.001-07:00

This awesome shirt is for the sister to adorable Parker...Jazmyne!

After receiving Parker's shirt, Erica contacted me and wanted something special for her beautiful daughter Jazmyne. I think it turned out too cute! She is my sweet niece, Anna's, age so it was so fun to create something for a older child/tween. She said that both her and her daughter had a great love for birds, which is right up my alley.

I hope that she loves it...

Thank you so much for your order, Erica.

I can't wait to see pictures of Jazmyne and Parker together in their Maggie Moo Original creations!

Ms. Edna for Mary Elizabeth...

2008-03-23T18:17:00.000-07:00

This sweet shirt was an Easter present for my special niece, Mary Elizabeth.

I think it turned out so cute. I hope that she will love it and I can't wait to see her in it this summer!

My Third Mention...

2008-03-20T13:31:00.000-07:00

It is such an awesome feeling to know that someone loves your work.

Today in class, I taught a little boy how to shoot a basketball the "proper" way...he was so excited he told me he couldn't want to go home and tell his mom.

That was the best moment of the day, until I read this awesome mention about me from Erica.

Her sweet son was the little boy that inspired Parker the VW. His name is Parker and he just looks like a box of fun! He loves his shirt and his mom was so sweet to write such nice things about me and my work on her blog.

On her blog, she said that Parker loves the buttons that are the wheels the best...This picture is of little Parker "hugging" his shirt!

Isn't that just adorable!

Would love it if you could check it out! You can link to it HERE!

Thanks a million Erica for your sweet mention and post about me. I loved this project and can't wait to start working on Ms. Jazmyne's shirt!

Introducing Wilma the Whale...

2008-03-17T11:28:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't love whale watching?

This adorable onesie is so adorable. I found this amazing whale pattern fabric, both in hot pink for girls and blue for the boys. I love it. I can't get enough of it. Ms. Wilma was so fun to make. She wraps around the side of the onesie for that extra sweet touch. She has a double layered eye with a blue and white button.

I love her and think she is going to be a huge hit..or at least, I hope!!

An Apple A Day Keeps The Worms Away with Mr. Willy...

2008-03-17T10:20:00.000-07:00

...Introducing Mr. Willy the Apple-Eating Worm...

I absolutely love this onesie. It is appliqued with some adorable springy fabrics and a little nerdy button for his eyes. I know that the button is pink, but I think that he is a he.

Mr. Willy is his name and chewing through apples is his game.

....Would love to know what you think...

Sweet Maggie & Buttercup...

2008-03-16T19:08:00.001-07:00

Ms. Maggie wore her sweet Buttercup the Butterfly shirt today while our friends, Kim & Chris came over for their sweet little Jack's 3 month photo shoot with Josh.

I think it looked so cute on her. She loved the button for the butterfly's head. She loved to pick at it. I swear, she is the happiest baby in town!

Introducing Buttercup the Butterfly...

2008-03-15T18:26:00.000-07:00

...Introducing Buttercup the Butterfly...

This sweet shirt is for my sweet Maggie.

I have been dying to get her spring clothing started, so this was the perfect start. I found this adorable bright pink shirt and had to have a butterfly flying it's way around on it. I love this citrus green with the sweet pink color for spring.

I hope that Maggie Moo loves it!

A Flower for Sweet Lilly...

2008-03-15T15:13:00.000-07:00

...This sweet flower shirt was a custom order for a new friend in Indiana...

Amy B. ordered this shirt for her daughter Lilly. I can't wait for Amy and Lilly to receive it...Lilly is a beautiful little girl and she is going to be so sweet in this shirt this summer.

This shirt was custom made with lots of beautiful designer fabrics. I patchworked the center part of the flower for that extra touch of detail.

Amy, thanks so much for your order and I hope you love it.

Your children are beautiful and I appreciate your business.

Introducing Parker the VW Bug...

2008-03-13T17:48:00.000-07:00

I LOVE this design. This one may just be my favorite one so far.

...This shirt is a custom order for a new friend in Murfreesboro, Erica and her son Parker...

Erica contacted me wondering if I could do something for her little boy. She loved my designs, but said that he needed something more boyish...I was thrilled. I have been dying to try out a new idea I had swimming around about a VW bug (older style) with a surfboard on top...I love it.

I used this awesome green and blue dot fabric with some red for the surfboard. The two buttons for wheels are just the right touch.

I have had several people tell me that they love my items, but everything is girlie! I did do two boy shirts and you can find them here. I love doing boys stuff as well, just seems like all of my orders lately were for girlie girlies.

I hope that Erica loves it and that little Parker thinks it is cool! I think Parker is a great addition to the Maggie Moo Family. Thanks Erica for your business...This was such a fun project!

Introducing Betsy the Birdie...

2008-03-11T19:47:00.000-07:00

I LOVE birds.

I have such a neat connection to birds. I don't know why, but I do. I do remember has a child, my grandfather Charles, who I also love, teaching me about birds. He had this neat book describing all the types and where they were most popular. I loved that book. Maggie's nursery is decorated in birds and I often call her my little birdie. I am just drawn to them.

I love this onesie. It is for Ms. Kaylor...soon-to-be daughter to Courtney. She is such a special friend and I hope she loves it. She has had a hard and difficult pregnancy...I know that she will be so thrilled to meet Ms. Kaylor. She is already so loved!

Are you ready for SpRiNg...

2008-03-09T07:56:00.000-07:00

These fabrics make me SOOOO ready for spring...

Can't wait to see what little lovelies come from these adorable prints...

Stay tuned!

Introducing Georgia the Giraffe...

2008-03-08T17:14:00.001-08:00

...This was a custom order for a new friend out in Murfreesboro...

Amy L. requested a cute giraffe for her little sweetie. I think it turned out too cute, the pictures just don't do her justice. She is in shades of sweet brown and pink...LOVE that combination. I used some of my favorite chenille fabric paired with the pink and brown diamonds for the backing. Georgia is made with brown and pink polka dot fabric with stitching circles for the extra detail. Two pink little buttons for eyes and Georgia immediately came to life!

I love her and I hope that Amy and her little cutie will too!

Thanks so much for your order Amy! I can't wait for you to receive her!

K is for Kaylor...

2008-03-06T20:17:00.000-08:00

One of my great co-workers is having a baby soon...naming her Kaylor. We are all very excited and it has been a great experience for Courtney and I to become so close, seeing as though we will both have sweet girls to share.

I have worked with Courtney for the past two years at one of my schools and she is awesome! She is going to be such a great mommy.

I wanted to make her something special for sweet baby Kaylor. I still have some other things in the works, but this was the first special Maggie Moo gift.

I hope she will love it and I can't wait to meet Ms. Kaylor.

My Second Mention...

2008-03-06T20:11:00.000-08:00

I am so stinkin' thrilled...A great friend of my sister's, Brea, was kind enough to mention my work and designs on her blog. Alison Bynum is a very talented photographer located in Smyrna, TN and she has a beautiful daughter named Norah.

She ordered the ever so adorable Lola the Ladybug shirt from me. She loved it so much, she was kind enough to include it in Ms. Norah's 9 month panel of photos. She even included a whole write up about Maggie Moo Designs...How awesome and exciting is that!

Thanks a million Alison and I look forward to working again with you soon!

To check out my awesome review and mention, click HERE!

Ms. Norah in Her Lola Shirt...

2008-03-06T03:42:00.000-08:00

Norah's mom, Alison, just sent this to me.

She has on her adorable Lola the Ladybug shirt that I made her. How cute is this!

It is my first picture of a customer in their items that were custom for them...How exciting! Norah is such a sweetie!

Thanks Alison for including Lola in Norah's 9 month shots. They are all so beautiful.

You can check all of them out here...

Piper the Pear...

This adorable onesie is going to a great teacher that I work with at one of my schools. She is expecting her first baby, a girl, just any day.

I thought this idea was too cute not to pass on.

I hope that she loves it.

I thought it looked like a Piper the Pear, so that is it's new name.

My First Mention...

A huge THANKS to Susan W...

She ordered those adorable burp cloth sets from me that featured the bird and penguin and gave me the nicest mention on her blog about my work. It was so thoughtful of her and it really made me so proud!

Thanks Susan! I look forward to working with you again soon!

Maggie's New Dress...Apple Bottoms...

2008-02-21T18:41:00.000-08:00

I made this sweet dress for Ms. Maggie.

It has the adorable apple and pears fabric on one side and the sweet pink dots on the reverse side. It is completely reversible.
I think it turned out pretty good and I think she will look so stinking cute in it this summer with nothing but a diaper on.

What do you think?

...Introducing Tootsie the Turtle...

This special turtle is going to our sweet niece, Sophie Ann that lives in Indiana. I meant to get it to her for Valentine's Day, but you know the gallblader had to cause problems. I think it is pretty sweet and it will be so cute on her this summer...

I hope that she loves it.

Love you Sophie Bear!

Custom Ordered Maggie Moo Burp Cloths...

2008-02-21T14:04:00.000-08:00

This was a custom order that I prepared for a sweet lady named Susan.

She ordered one girl burp cloth set and one boy burp cloth set.

She wanted a girlie set with a birdie on one and a "s" on the other.

On the boy set, she wanted a penguin on one and an "a" on other.

I think they turned out too cute and the penguin is for sure a personal favorite.

Susan, THANK YOU so much for your order. I hope the gift receivers love them very much. I would love to make more Maggie Moo Originals for you in the future!

Thanks!!!

This was a custom order for a little sweetie named Norah. Her mom, Alison, is good friends with my sister, Brea.

She contacted me and asked for a ladybug design for her little and oh so adorable daughter, Norah. This was a great project and so fun to work on.

...Alison, I hope you love it and I can't wait to see Ms. Norah in it...

New Blog, New Ideas, New Journey...

2008-01-31T05:14:00.001-08:00

Thank you for visiting my sewing blog.

My name is Alison Harris and I am a full-time PE teacher locally at two different elementary schools. I also am a mom to a beautiful and oh so fun little girl named Maggie Holland. My husband and best friend ever is Josh. And lastly is the doggie Dexter Bing.

I like to sew on the side. It is a great way to relax and find some time for just myself and my craft. I started this blog to keep up with the projects I have completed and their purpose. I like my designs, I understand not everyone does. That is okay with me.

Thank you for your support. Please let me know if I can custom make something for you. I would love to...
