The Turquoise Pear BIRTHDAY SALE

Hi everyone! It's my 28th birthday on Wednesday (March 7) this week and to celebrate, I'm having a SALE in my Etsy shop. Instead of showering me with lots of gifts like I know you were planning on doing, I'd love it if you headed on over to The Turquoise Pear and used the coupon code BIRTHDAY10 to receive 10% off your purchase. Woohoo!

This coupon code is good for things in my shop that are "ready to ship" and for custom orders. Custom order payments must be received by March 11 in order to receive the 10% discount. Once we figure out the custom gift you want, I will send you an invoice in which you can then pay.

If you'd like to place a custom order, please send me a message through Etsy or an email at theturquoisepear@gmail.com giving me some info on the sex of the baby, colors and patterns you like and the item(s) that you'd like me to make. We can come up with the perfect gift for you! Here's one of the place that I love to get fabric in Chicago. Take a look and see what inspires you!

Here's the pricing of most custom items:

blankets (28"x28") $30 + $6 shipping
set of 3 burp cloths $15 + $3.50 shipping
nursing covers $25 + $4.00 shipping
pillows and tablerunners (pricing depends on the price and size you choose)

*If you buy more than one item from me, I will adjust the shipping cost accordingly.


Here are a few of the items currently for sale in my shop:



And here are some custom orders that I have done in the past:




Again, visit THE TURQUOISE PEAR, use coupon code BIRTHDAY10, and receive 10% off your purchase through March 11. And please, spread the word to your family, friends (blog friends, Facebook friends, work friends...whoever!) You are more than welcome to share this post with anyone!

Hope you join in on the fun!

My Newest Creation

One of the things that I love most about sewing is getting to work with beautiful fabric. I could spend hours wandering through a fabric store or fabric website. Once I bring the fabric home, I'll keep asking my husband, "Isn't it just so pretty? Don't you just love it?" To which he responds without hardly glancing at it, "Yeah. It's nice."

Don't get me wrong, he's a supporter of mine and he does admire my work, but he's a guy that more into sports and other "manly" things than pretty fabric. So, here I am sharing with you my latest creation for my Etsy shop, The Turquoise Pear. Isn't she pretty??? It's a super soft and versatile baby blanket for a sweet little girl. I just love the colors and print of the fabric. I hope they will make some baby and her mama happy!

I do take custom orders. I'll hunt down the perfect fabric for you. You just let me know!

I promise I do things other than cooking...

I've been on a cooking kick lately. It's probably because its winter and I'm finding a million delicious recipes on Pinterest. We also have had a lot of guests and/or been going to friends' houses for dinners so I've been cooking away!

I do like to do things other than cooking and baking. Like sewing. I love to sew. In fact, I love to sew so much that I opened an Etsy shop to fulfill my love. My friends have been super supporters of mine and have asked me to custom make baby items, table runners, and pillows for them. I've loved that I'm able to create beautiful things for them to pass along to friends and family (or keep for themselves).

Here are a few of my more recent projects. And if you're interested in me making something for you, feel free to contact me. I'd love to help you pick out the perfect pattern for a baby gift, pillow, tablerunner, etc. Just let me know what you're thinking! Check out my shop, The Turquoise Pear.

I've made quite a few baby items lately. It seems like I'm at the phase in my life where my friends are popping out babies left and right (and they are some pretty cute babies if I do say so myself)!



My new sister-in-law asked me to sew table runners and pillows for her wedding reception in beautiful Charleston, SC. I was SO honored!






My cousin-in-law, Sarah, loved the print of this fabric so much that she asked me to make her a table runner for her dining room table. Check it out.



I do have some extra of this fabric so if you'd like a pillow(s) or tablerunner of your own, send me an email at theturquoisepear@gmail.com.

Sewing is such a passion of mine! I don't have nearly as much time for it as I'd like, but I love when I do get that time to just sit and create!
