I have an ANNOUNCEMENT!

... and no, I'm NOT prego! (Sorry family and friends ... the title could have been misleading)!

This evening I will re-opening my ChichiKids Etsy shop and introducing a line of DIY Iron-On Fabric Appliques that I've been working on! Soon to follow in April/May will be my line of clothes for the kiddo's, including appliqued apparel, reversible pinafores, bloomers, and ankle biter pants ... unfortunately it's still cold and wet here and an outdoor photo shoot isn't an option, which is why I have to wait a bit. I'll also be bringing back my Softies and Blankies! Honestly, I just couldn't wait any longer so I decided to re-open with my DIY Appliques.

Even better .... I'm going to be hosting a DIY Applique Challenge. I'd rather host it on my SoChichi blog but it's not up and running yet. So, family and friends who aren't so interested in the crafty stuff ... you'll just have to tolerate all the crafty stuff for a while!

Here is a sneak peak of what you'll be seeing in my shop!

He's so "Dog-On" cute!

"Flower In Bloom" Kit

"Ooh La La!"

I have literally been dreaming about my appliques so this is pretty fitting right now!

So I'm not too happy with the photos. Usually it's not a problem but I haven't been able to take photos outside in the natural light because of all the windstorms we've been having. These have already been photo edited ... imagine how gloomy the originals were!
