I finally did it! Got my first nursing shawl done today ;) Personally I find mine better than the Hooter Hider. Not only does this hide your hooters, but it hides the back fat in back ;) So tell all your friends I am officially in business. More to come soon. If you would like to get one they are 25$ or 2 for 40$ It makes a great gift for those new moms. I will post some more pictures later of different fabrics.
Now for the contest: What should the name of my shawl be?? If I pick you....you get one free ;)

Norah
Ava
Dallas
Reese
husband and wife
Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
the things they say...
Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)

I love it! No name ideas yet (I'll be thinking of them for you though), but expect a couple of orders to come your way from me soon :)
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah, VERY cute! I want one, I want one! How about: The Undercover, or, Bashful B's? I'll be thinking of other ideas (both good and silly - hey, you never know!) LOVE the fabric too...
ReplyDeleteThat goes for me too. Can't think of a name yet but I will.
ReplyDeleteBustanoboobyhiders! Oh, I am so funny.
ReplyDeleteHow about wrap for Modest Mommy's. You should TOTALLY set up an account on www.etsy.com. Everything on there is handmade! I'm pretty sure it's free and it's SO.... popular. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteCute Kelly! Abbey I think that you are on to something with the word Bashful!
ReplyDeleteHere are Collin's names:
Titty Tent (sp?)
Nursing Home
Got it all set up on Craigslist and etsy.....we will see ;)
Oh and I said "Shawl we Nurse"
ReplyDeleteHmmm...Still thinking... "Mommy Madras" [I was thinking as in "Ma-dress" pun-wise although your "Shawl we Nurse" beats it as a pun for sure] because I thought of that name kind of is "ethnic" sounding. Dictionary def.:Madras- A large, brightly colored kerchief, formally worn as a headdress (as in Madras India where they were made)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how important it is to have the name one that someone can say, "Hey, this is my new ____________" ? Not sure... You could also use "Titty Tent", but call it T2 [Like "T squared" where the 2 is small and near the upper right corner of the T and just have the "real" name in small print somewhere to clarify =)] This is fun!
you could have a line of products called num nums and then call it a num num shawl etc..
ReplyDeleteLove the shawl! The fabric is so cute. I'm excited for you and your venture!
ReplyDeleteAs far as names go...that is a hard one. My creative juices are apparently on vacation.
So cute! Yay for you. I am so not good at names but I have to vote against the Titty tent. I think that would detract from people buying it. I like Shawl We Nurse, Bashful B's or something with bashful and Modest Mama Wraps.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am so excited for you! I am usually terrible with naming things...it took me months to name my business! (and then some more after finding out if the name I had chosen was already taken...which it was! Back to the drawing board many times over! =)!) I can't wait to hear what name you come up with!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! I want to see the back, is it an easy on off kind of thing?? I'm not good with names either...but I'm pretty sure Titty Tent is not the way to go, sorry Collin. It kind of looks like a Moo Moo dress - you know the shapeless things ladies would wear. And hey, nursing moms are similar to cows???!!! MoooooOOOOOOoOO! :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I laughed at the Bustanobooby idea - funny indeed!
Oh and keeping in the lines of cows...this is for you Collin...how about a Teat Tent, you know cows teats. Ok ok ok, enough from me.
ReplyDeleteyou probably already thought of this but there are ALOT of pregnant moms on babycenter
ReplyDeletehttp://community.babycenter.com/
I hang out on the big beautiful and trying to conceive boards heh...but they have a pregnancy board and I'm sure all those women would appreciate your shawl.
I have a friend who just had a baby and these are the names she came up with: Peekie Poncho, Chic (pronounced sheek) Sheath & Chic & Descrete. My creative cap isn't working lately but I'll let you know if I hear anything else.
ReplyDeleteLunch under Wraps
ReplyDeletewhat about Hideaway??
ReplyDeleteI love it. I'm very jealous of your creativity and skills with a needle! :) I would really love one...would you have time to make me one before Feb.?
ReplyDeleteI like "Hideaway"!
ReplyDeleteSomething that occurred to me today. I still like the name "Hideaway" because it is and sounds singular (like the ONE shawl it would refer to)whereas Bashful Boobies is plural (not as clearly describing one object). There's the English teacher perspective on this whole thing. =)
