Welcome to Tulips and Turnips - Handmade for Baby!
The place of my creative journey. Most of my posts,
at least so far, have been about the processes involved
in starting a new business on my own.
My hopes are to have a few tutorials each month,
a giveaway each month, and previews of new items
and ideas, and various ramblings by me. Please feel
free to comment, share ideas, be a critic, etc.
Thank you for visiting and please check out my
Etsy shop!

This was the bag I made for my guest blogger giveaway and I'm re-posting as an example of one of the several styles of bags I can make for custom orders.

Busy, busy!

One of my biggest challenges is finding a way to balance each part of my life. As if not only being a wife and a stay at home Mom of two very young boys would not make me busy enough, I am at the end of my IBCLC studies, I'm currently in training with the Nursing Mothers Counsel, and am Secretary for NMC, I'm creating a new website, and have many sewing jobs on the side going, and then there's my blog. So needless to say something is going to get neglected, and it's been my blog. I am going to try to formulate some sort of schedule where I put out something new, a tutorial of some kind, and a giveaway each month. We'll see how it turns out soon.

About Me

My photo
My name is Shawn and I am a stay at home Mom of two boys and also a student. After many years of school and a Master's degree in Psychology, I decided to go back to school for Lactation Consulting. I spend most of my time with my children, and working on my sewing projects. Currently the sewing projects have to due with my little side business of making things for babies, which will be the main focus of this blog. I also love spending time with my husband but I see him very little now because he is busy with work and paramedic training. We have been together ten years now and married five! I love making things for special people in my life, I feel like it's something I can do to stay connected and maybe they will think of me when they see the blanket, pillow, curtain, or whatever else I have made. Since I am a somewhat introverted kind of person sewing seems to fit me, it's a way to express myself creatively, and put love into each piece, for each person. My life is quite challenging at times but I make sure to think about things I am grateful for each day.
