CLOSED!! featured sponsor: apples and 'nanas!

i'm super excited to share today's featured sponsor with you! Apples and 'Nanas is run by my dear friend Whitney - can you believe we've known each other since we were 14?! her shop features amazing hand-made items for babies and kiddos, and i'm proud to have her as one of my sponsors!

I'm a busy mom of two lil ladies who enjoys working with her hands and loves being crafty (is that cheesy? idk).  My shop Apples & 'Nanas Boutique (named after my daughters Addie & Nora) is a collaborative effort with my mom.  I sew super soft homemade baby burp cloths, bibs and blankies.  My mom makes embroidered baby/toddler clothing and bibs.

My mother was always sewing me and my sister dresses and coordinating outfits when we were young, so I've always valued sewing as a skill.  Sometime in my mid-twenties, I decided to buy my first sewing machine and had my mom teach me some basics (I started with handbags).  When all my friends started having babies, I started making burp cloths and bibs for gifts and realized that it was something I really enjoyed doing. 

I get most of my inspiration from visits to the fabric store. I absolutely love going and finding new, fun fabrics that I can't wait to make something with.
