Valley Momma Remembers...

This post has nothing to with my shop, but is in memory of my grandpa who passed away after being ill Saturday morning. I said he was my grandfather but really he was more of my father. I lived in my grandparents house with my Mom and sister from 2 1/2 years old until I was married... so he really was my "dad". This is super hard for me right now, but I wanted to remember him here on my blog. We called him "Pawsy" when we were little and then "Pa"... I'll always love him and I'll miss him forever... but here's a picture of him at my wedding in 2002 when I know he was healthy and happy! Also a link to one of his favorite gospel group's singing one of his favorite songs... I know he's up in heaven singing along and also riding his lawn mower and picking up sticks in the yard... :) Just what he'd want to do!!!

I Love you Pa!

New Burp Cloth Designs!


I was at K-mart the other day and saw the cloth diapers sitting there and decided to switch my burp cloths from chenille to the cloth diaper kind. Then I saw a pack of "diaper burp cloths"... not as large at the the cloth diapers, but still absorbant! I think you can have TOO big of a burp cloth!! So these are just the right size... AND they have different colors, too! So here are my first two sets of burp cloths...

Pink Michael Miller Flower Crystals and Pink Disco Dots

Get Your Motor Runnin' Burp Cloth Set

Both Sets are available in my Etsy Shop ... $9 per set.

Brown and Black Wavy Flowers Minky Blanket

Ahhhh yes... ladies and gentlemen... Valley Momma has ventured into the land of Minky Blankets... dum ditty dum!!
This is my first Minky blanket in the shop... this one is my first because this is the fabric my twin sister chose out of all my fabric stash for me to make a blanket for her 4 month old daughter, Reagan. I have enough fabric to make this blanket twice... so it's being offered in my shop!
There will only be TWO! One for my niece... and one for YOU??? It's a Marcus Brothers print on one side and super soft brown minky on the other. Measures 30 inches by 20 inches and is priced at $30 plus shipping. I think my price is fair and seems to be well under what others are charging for minky blankets. :) I've got other fabrics I'm planning on doing blankets in, so check back in the shop for more!


My cold seems to be doing better (finally) ... although I did just yawn a few mintues ago and now my ear is clogged or something... gahh. I can't win. :(


G'nite people. I'm beat.

Sea Monkeys and Flowers...

I'm still sick, but I did manage to get two new car seat strap covers completed last night. I also made some mini-toddler pillows for the craft show. I'm not going to sell those on Etsy right now, we'll see what I have left after the craft show in March and then I'll decide. For now, here's my new strap covers...
