Perfectly Customizable Gift Baskets

I have lots of fun with my various diaper creations, but I also have traditional gift baskets. Not only are they very easy to customize, but you can customize the price as well.

Large Gift Basket
The above basket was made for a sweet baby who was going to be named James. In addition to being full of usable items for the baby, there is a wood initial that can decorate his nursery.

Price:
$65 for large basket similar to one shown
Smaller baskets available

Give me a call to start customizing one for you today!

Sweet Blankets

I've been busy creating and filling orders, so I thought I'd post a few pictures of more of my blankets. This first one was for my aunt, who is an elementary school teacher. To customize it for her I chose the Cat in the Hat (how perfect is that for a kindergarten teacher?).

 This blanket and burp cloth are purplicious! :)

And if I have an all-girl one, I better post an all-boy one, too. This is perfect for any little sports fan (or sports-fan-to-be) out there:

I also realized I forgot to include a picture of the packaged blankets. (Aren't they sweet? :)

A blog with a face

I don't know about you, but I like to see who is behind the blogs I'm reading. With that said, I realized I have yet to post a picture of myself. So, here I am:

The Alyssa part of Alyssa's Baby Creations
Okay, I cheated and posted a wedding picture. But, hey -- it wasn't TOO long ago, so why not? I don't get that dressed up every day, and I might as well get my money's worth from my wedding photos, right? :) I haven't had many (if any) pictures taken of myself alone since that day, and I guess as a mom I'm not alone in that.

Of course, I consider my cute little guy to be my best side, but for privacy I won't post any pictures of him. However, I'm sure I'll have more than one story to share about him. He will turn two this summer, heaven help me! :)

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

There's nothing like winter to make you want to stay at home with your little one! But we all know moms have places to go and things to do, which means our babies have to go out in the cold, too. With that in mind, I have created a car seat blanket wrap perfect for keeping your baby warm without compromising safety. It fits in your car seat with openings for the straps and buckles, but is large enough to wrap your baby in cozy warmth. It's double-sided and snuggly:

Car Seat Blanket Wrap: Folded to display both sides
Car Seat Blanket Wrap: Ready to Wrap
Of course, I probably should have put a baby in to show you how snug they can get, but none of my aunts would lend me their BOYS to wrap in purple ... although I'm sure they'll love frogs soon enough. :)

Price:
Starting at $30 (Crocheted edging as shown extra)

Make sure your baby stays snug as a bug in a rug this winter. Give me a call so I can get started today!

Crocheted? Sure enough!

This flannel blanket is also double-sided with crocheted edges. That's crocheted? Yes, but it's so soft because it's crocheted with yarn, which gives it a non-crocheted appearance. I love the final look of this product and would love to make one for you.
Crocheted flannel blanket: Polka-dot side

Crocheted flannel blanket: Animal side
 Again, I love the flexibility available with this blanket since I can make them in any theme or colors.

Price:
Starting at $40

Burping in style

There's nothing like burping a baby in public -- it's the best way to make sure your baby gives his best belch ever. When all those eyes look your way hopefully these cute burp cloths will make them forget the embarrassing sound your baby just erupted. :)

Sample Burp Cloths

With the amount of time these take me to crochet around the edges, I know they're a steal of a deal! Call and let me know what kind of print you'd like on yours.

Price:
$15 for a set of 3

Happy to get started!

I am thrilled to be starting Alyssa's Baby Creations. A little about me: I'm happily married to a wonderful man (who my brother calls freakishly huge, but I think it's only because I'm short :) and I have an adorable little boy who will be two this summer. (Yes, you'll probably see a few pictures of him along the way since he is worth sharing. :)

I love making cute gifts for people to share and I'm always experimenting and thinking of new ideas. Make sure you check back often to see my latest and greatest products.
