Sea Turtles Standard Nursery Set - Item Description

The inquiries about my Baby Sea Turtles Nursery Set has been overwhelming lately. I had no idea when I first designed this cute little baby sea turtle that it would be so popular. I guess it's something about sea turtles that people around the world just love and then to incorporate it in a nursery set in a modern design is just stunning. The nursery set, although modern and simple, is not simple to produce. I think potential customers get a little sticker shock when I send them pricing on the Standard Set (crib quilt, bumper guard, and crib skirt). Just remember, this is a handmade set (by me) and is an original design that is not mass produced. Production time is also very lengthy with many shapes and pieces to sew. Many times customers give their own input and modify the design by changing color and design layout.

Panda to Pandemonium


When I was expecting my first baby I knew instantly that I wanted Panda Bears to be his nursery room theme. I started searching almost the instant I found out it was a boy although I figured I would have probably done the Panda Bear theme if the baby was girl too. In any case, I searched and searched but to my dismay I couldn't find any kind of Panda nursery bedding, decor or baby accessories anywhere. We are talking only 4 years ago too! I was very discouraged. So, I decided to design my own room and make and collect Panda decor on my own whether it was from a baby store or not. In fact, I didn't buy anything from a baby store regarding Panda decor. I made a few of the bedding pieces and the wall art I found on Ebay as prints and I had framed myself. The mobile I found on another website. It was fun gathering everything although a bit exhausting trying to get a room together from scratch.

Now, 4 years later it's a pandemonium of Panda Bear accessories and decor for baby rooms. I think the love of Panda Bears has caught on finally. Of course, I feel like one of the original Panda Bear lovers. I've loved them since I was 7 years old when I first saw them in person at the Ueno Zoo in Japan. My Mom bought me a life-like plush Panda Bear and I had that toy for years until the bear finally fell a part in my teen years. Perhaps its been the birth of Taishan at the National Zoo in DC that has brought more awareness. All in all, it's awesome that more people are discovering these wonderful creatures to be one of the world's most precious animals!

My Panda Bear design is the 2nd animal that I designed when I first started my business. It's popularity has been phenomenal and I have been honored to have donated some of my items to charity for silent auctions.

Boy, Girl, Unknown? I Design a Wide Range of Baby Shower Invitations

































When I was pregnant with both my son's I knew from the beginning of both pregnancies that I wanted to know if they were going to be a boy or girl. From the moment I found out I started planning the nurseries, buying clothes and thinking of names. BUT, there are those that don't want to know. Let's just face it, some people like the element of surprise. I can totally respect that and whatever works for you that should be the way it should be. Therefore, I like to design and offer a wide range of baby shower invitations for those that know and for those that don't know. My standard designs are simple and the color schemes vary from blues, pinks, greens, purple, yellow or whatever color scheme YOU want. Yes, I can modify any of my standard designs to fit YOUR color scheme.

All of my card design listings are for a digital file which you will receive from me to take and have printed at any photo finisher such as Costco.com, Snapfish.com, or Walmart. However, if you want me to print for that can certainly be done and I can quote pricing. Anything is possible!
