Busy week!

Greetings! I hope everyone is having a good week. Here are a few things I've done this week. I'm still working on that set for the twins...I'm hoping to finish it up soon...maybe over the weekend.
I'll post as soon as I'm done.
Have a great weekend!

Short-sleeved tee: $18 as shown

Long-sleeved birthday tee: $26 as shown

Easter applique dishtowels: $14 for each towel or $26 for set as shown

Order on the fly!

So my husband calls me at noon on Thursday to tell me that he needs a baby gift for a co-worker...by the next a.m.! Here is what I threw together for my wonderful husband...I did my best to make him look like a rock star on such short notice...and the recipient isn't sharing a name so these are generic baby boy gifts. What do you think? Pretty cute, huh?!

Thanks for looking! I'm about to start working on a baby order for twin girls...it's a new design and I'm pretty excited about it. Check back soon.

My funky valentine

Here they are! Jude likes robots these days...my brother-in-law came up with the saying. I love the Jerry Maguire reference!

For my preppy valentine, Georgia, I made her argyle hearts:

AND, she also got a ric-rac heart trio tee...and some fun barrettes:

 

Check back soon for more pictures. I have a few orders coming up that I'll post when I'm done.
Thanks for looking!

Baby Mine

Here are a few things that I've been working on this week...

I found this gray corduroy jumper dress for Georgia at Marshall's. I just loved how it turned out! It reminds of the song "Baby Mine" from Dumbo...which is what I sang to both of my children as infants and still do to this day.

Birthday tee for my cousin's daugther...so cute! Happy "early" Birthday, Emery!

 

Here are few other things that I made for Emery...Butterfly barrettes, Raggy Butterfly tee and

So Tweet Whirly Bird tee.

 

Two baby orders...

 

And finally, for my cousin Heidi...her baby gift for sweet baby Garrett.

 

 

Check back next week for a few Valentine's Day tees!

2010 was a great year!

What an amazing year 2010 was for me! During the holidays I tallied up all of the items I worked on for you guys and here are my numbers: 260 appliqued tees/onesies, 93 burp cloths, 20 bibs, 70 felt barrettes, 26 appliqued tote bags, 86 appliqued towels, and 186 personal items brought to me for lettering...WOW! These numbers don't reflect the items I made for myself, children or for gifts either! I didn’t realize that I had been this busy. You guys have been great customers!

You may be wondering why “The Raindrop Shoppe?” Well, as many of you know my last name is Raines. When we first found out that I was pregnant with our son, Jude, my husband lovingly nicknamed him “Raindrop” before we found out the gender. We continued this tradition when we found out we were pregnant again as Raindrop #2 with our daughter, Georgia. Both of my kids have been a huge inspiration to me in creating cute and fun things for them to wear.

I am just now finishing up pre-Christmas orders because my laptop decided to crash and die on me just 4 short days before Christmas day! With great relief, the Geek Squad at the local Best Buy was able to recover ALL of my appliqués and fonts that I have purchased as well as all of my embroidery files. I'm hoping to begin taking orders again Friday, January 14th.

I recently made Jude a birthday t-shirt since his big day is this coming Monday. He is really into sharks right now so he has one on his tee along with a HUGE number 4.

Price for a tee personalized as shown is $26

Here is a really cute set I just made as a “Big Sister” gift for my cousin’s 2-year old daughter. It’s a baby doll set and it includes a diaper, changing pad, bib, burp cloth, wipes case and a baby bag.

Baby doll gift set: $30
