It's Official!


Today it is Official for Chubby Baby......... I got my Trademark, on Chubby Baby! I've been wanting to do this since I started my business but I was not 100% sure if my company would be successful, if I'd want to be doing this in a year from know, etc!

As of today I love my business, all my fabrics, the sewing studio I'm in the middle of organizing. I figured I better get this done before someone else swoops down and takes my name.  Since I'm starting to finally get wholesale orders for my Infant car seat covers, I know feel like I'm official (if that makes sense).  See I started my whole business around my Infant car seat design but they weren't ready for retail bc it's not only the product but it's the packaging, the labeling, marketing, I can go on and on! It's always more, more, more!

So here is My Trademark, I'm going to celebrate!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!



My daughter was born 2 years ago and she has Rocked my world, literally. She is the funniest child on Earth, the Loudest, the Friendliest and the Sweetest! I can't get enough of her and know that I am a SAHM, I'm enjoying her even more!  

How does 2 years fly by that fast?  Party.........Of Course, so we are planning a big trip to Disneyland and have a whole bunch of little surprises for her and of course I made her Birthday outfit and you'll just have to wait to see till after all the fun. 

I have a few friends and family coming up during the week to celebrate too, so I've been cooking up a storm and can't wait for the birthday girl to wake up!

Here are a few pics of when she was born and her 1st Birthday!

Reversible Toddler car seat cover!!!



Here is a new addition to my Toddler Line, it turned out very nice.  The great thing I love about my pattern is that it is Reversible and on the opposite side is any color minky you like, and every color goes with black and white. Take a look and enjoy!

"I'm so sick of cleaning up the gross mess my daughter leaves behind in  her car seat, where does it come from?  I just bought a Chubby Baby slip cover and I love it so much! No more mess and it looks SO Beautiful in my car, actually it feels Fancy, I really love it!"

We've Moved!!!




For the past 3 years my family and I have lived in the tinniest homes ever!  The 1st was a 2 bedroom condo..... sounds nice, but it was set up all wrong and it was cramped, with a little tiny patio.  We sold it before the meltdown in CA, it sold so fast we weren't ready to move so we rented a 1 bedroom, month-to month! I know this was totally crazy, we though it would be maybe 1 month but it turned into 5 long months!  All of our things have been in storage, I started to forget that we had a whole house full of furniture.  Lets say things were supper tight, I mean cozy, to stay positive.  My poor daughter was bouncing off the walls, literally.  

My husband and I have been shopping for homes all over the place, and our hard work finally paid off.  We ended up with a 3 bed home, very spacious, a huge yard for our daughter and beautiful German Shepherd!  It's a family based neighborhood, with really nice families and kids all over!  It's a great place to raise my family, but we moved 3 hours away from our families and will miss them and all their help.  We are hoping for a lot of visitors, but not too often bc I need to sew! :)  

Here is a little peek into my kitchen/ sewing  room, until my sewing studio is complete.  I'm so excited I have to share, it's about time!

Spring Boutique's here I come!


This was my 1st Spring Boutique that I participated in, it was at De Portolla Elementary School in Mission Veijo, CA.  It was extremely organized and turned out to be very successful for me.  But the hardest thing about going to these is not buying!  I made a deal with myself, I will not buy anything for my daughter or myself at these things because then I'll never really make money.  I think these boutiques are a hit or a miss and you never know if you'll be successful.  That's what a struggle with when these come up, whether or not I should participate.  Well, I was very happy with this one and will be returning next year!  I have about 10 more boutiques that I am signed up for and I am highly considering going to the ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas to be an Exhibitor, but with this comes $$$$$$ and a lot of it. I'm just not sure if I am ready but then again, when will I ever be ready?!!!! :)
