Wheaton & Whaley Designs is LIVE!

As if I didn't already have enough going on, I have started a new business venture with my sweet mama. 

A few years ago, a friend & I had a dress line. We were pretty successful (by small business standards), but people just didn't really understand that a dress is made for an overall size, not to fit perfectly. Because of this, we spent more time changes dresses than we did designing, so we called it quits.

Since then, I've missed sewing & creating things. Since home decor has been one of my favorite things for many years, I figured it would be best to incorporate that with sewing. Enter Wheaton & Whaley Designs (my married last name & my sweet Nana's maiden name)! 

If you visit the site right now, you will see there are only pillow covers available. There are over 5 fabrics as of yesterday, and all covers can be made in sizes 16x16, 18x18, and 20x20 (or smaller/larger if you wish). 

I will be adding more covers within the next few days. I also love custom orders, so if you are wanting a specific fabric, just message me through the Etsy site & we will set it up.

We also will be featuring monogrammed baby items such as custom burp clothes, bips, bloomers, and onesies. 

Since I am new to the monogram & embroidery scene, I am working on finding & creating new designs that are different, but still classic. Once I get that section ready to go, I'll let you know!

We are SO excited about this venture and hope you are too!

Much love & happy Monday!

Thoughts on Thursday!

You know all those randoms thoughts that go through your head on a daily/weekly/monthly basis? I have them too. My husband swears that my mind never actually turns off because it can be 1am and I'm still talking about random nonsense. So to keep Andrew from thinking I'm totally crazy, I figured I would just write down all those things I casually mention to him & share them with you instead! :)

1. Why is it not fall yet? I know people say not to wish your life away, but really. Why? If you didn't read my post from yesterday, go back & see why I love fall so much.

2. Wonder what Lady Gaga is up to? I asked Andrew this one day and he gave me a very puzzled look...but really! Where has she been? I mentioned yesterday that she's probably hanging out with Mase, who hasn't done anything since Welcome Back in 2004. Ahhh high school. Does anyone remember that song?

3. Baby Abigail is doing great. She is kicking like crazy and giving mama heartburn. Hoping that means she's an athlete & has beautiful hair. 

4. My name is Elizabeth and I have a problem. A problem buying too many smocked clothes for this baby. We had to have a "you need to cool it on the baby clothes" chat yesterday, but I mean, come on, how sweet is this???

Get it here!

I mean, melt my heart.

5. I am opening an Etsy shop in the next month, and I am SO excited. I also bought a monogram machine...this could get dangerous!

6. Today is my brother's 26th birthday! For those that don't know, he's in the Navy and is currently on a submarine somewhere. We have no real idea where he is, but it's very comforting to know that he's looking out for us. Growing up in a military family I have SUCH a deep appreciation for the sacrifices that these individual makes for our country. Please, if you see a service person, THANK them. You never know where they've been, what they've witnessed, or what they've given up to keep you free. 

7. My sister started 10th grade this year. How did I get so old? On the topic of old, when did I get these bags under my eyes. Those didn't use to be there...

8. We are working on the nursery this weekend. Can't wait to get it all together & set up for our sweet baby girl. Can't wait to love on her!

Ok, that's it for now! Any random thoughts you want to share?

Much love!
