There is no doubt that my daughter loves transportation vehicles, especially ones of the aviation variety. Since she's under the age of 3, most airplane and helicopter toys have a choking hazard disclaimer on the package, so I just avoid them.
I've been on the lookout for an airplane or helicopter softie, but really haven't had much luck, so I decided to make one for her.
This was my Saturday night project, while watching
Better Off Dead. We love that movie, and had not seen it in such a long time. There were two lines in particular that really cracked us up, and I jotted them down for a future embroidery project.
When I was finished with the embroidery, I thought it looked a little blank, so I decided to fill in the blank spaces with crayon. Yeah, if I ever do that again, I will be sure to color the spaces before stitching.
Saturday afternoon we went to one of the Asian markets and I found the cutest little transportation biscuits. They were under $2.00, so I decided if Darcy hated them, then it wasn't a big deal.
She really likes the little crackers, and is fascinated with the different pictures. They taste like a slightly sweetened rice cracker and have really cute names like, "Topless Car" for a convertible and "Shovel Truck" for an excavator.
Darcy loves her little helicopter and calls it, "Chopper." I actually caught her tickling it the other day. What a goober.
I have plans to draw an airplane and a rocket to go along with the helicopter, and I was thinking about offering these aviation designs as embroidery patterns in a pdf format. Would anyone be interested in that?

Please note that this onesie is $5.00 cheaper than the others simply because the design is smaller and didn't take as long to stitch.
Again, this is an organic cotton onesie, so it's super soft and perfect for the wee ones.
This onesie is actually an organic Gerber onesie. I was pleased to find organic onesies at Target. I highly recommend the organic to the regular Gerber onesies, if you can find them. There is a BIG difference! They are super soft, thick, and the stretch factor is minimal. In fact, I didn't even have to use a stabilizer! That's how much thicker they are. (Don't tell anyone, but I think they are just as good as American Apparel! Shh!)
I will be listing new onesies in my shop all this week, and blogging about them too. Coming this week: a pink squirrel, a hedgehog, the cutest little kitten, a French knot poodle and a helicopter onesie! I would love it if one of my lovely blog readers snagged one of the new onesies.

I decided to bust out some of my craft doodles for this project. I really love these little guys, and I hope you do too. If you haven't already, please take a look at all of the other gorgeous entries over at Feeling Stitchy. Everyone has done such a wonderful job, and I'm sure Jenny will have a tough time narrowing it down to 5 finalists.
