Orders, Stars & Spoiler Alerts

Wow - it feels like forever since I have posted anything here! Although I am on Spring Break this week, I had a moment and decided to update the blog. This post will have all sorts of things, from new orders to stars to some summer spoilers!

First of all I have to say how deeply saddened I am to know that Quilt Arts is closing. The place was a delight for me, I spent hours (not to mention hundreds) in there. They had the BEST selection of fabric that I could ever ask for, sigh............

Needless to say, I was hoping to have my Summer collection out this weekend, but since some of that fabric was ordered from a closed store...............it may be a while longer while I back-track and try to relocate some of the fabric choices, so bear with me - but brownie-goose's Summer line is all about fun, and some preppy for the boys! Keep checking back, and if you are on the mailing list - I will shoot out an email when the Summer line is up!

Here are some recent orders.......................

This is a burp cloth and bib set for "the house divided." One of the parents went to Ole Miss, the other Auburn, and my creative friend Julie (visit her blog at http://myhappychappy.blogspot.com/) came up with the idea to do "dueling" burp cloths! How cute!


brownie-goose birthday shirt & shorts, $26


Mums the Word (Summer SPOILER) smock and bloomers, $28


Boho Chic Burp Cloth & Bib, personalized, $17


Hand embroidered shirt, $14 (ps - I don't have ANY of this fabric left)


Speaking of not having any of this fabric left, I am sorry to put this photo up here bc the fabric REALLY is adorable, but I wanted to show this photo because it gives the detail of the smock back - something that is hard to see in regular photos.........so, this is what the back of the smock looks like.


Personalized Burp Cloth & Bib, $17


Personalized Bib, $11


Stars....................

A brownie-goose first, a sweet little sleeping star!


Say Cheese!


Some matching St. Patty's days girls.


Sweet, sweet smile.


So get excited about summer and email me at browniegoose@hotmail.com with any orders, questions or requests to join the mailing list!

Spring Break

Okay - I will be taking a short break for Spring. I will not be taking new orders during the week of Sunday March 29th. I will resume taking orders on Sunday April 5th. I will continue to work on current orders, but my husband has the week off and we have our work cut out for us building a playhouse for Louisa who turns 2 on the 30th. I also have family traveling in to stay for her party on the 4th, so I have to take down my sewing room (the dining room) temporarily. If you still want an Easter shirt, but haven't had a chance to order yet - please try to get your order in this week so I can get it out to you!

Thanks everyone!!!

You Asked for It!!!

Okay - for the many people that have asked and requested, thanks for being patient!! I have finally sat down and uploaded pictures and tried to do inventory of my fabric closet. If anyone ever sees this closet, one would understand the task at hand and the need to be overwhelmed!

I have created a blog in which I will display all of the fabrics that I have on hand. I am going to try my BEST to keep it updated and try to get out my camera as soon as I get new fabrics and delete them as soon as they are retired. TRY being the key-word here!

I resisted the urge to name EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, so if you see one you like, email me about it and just tell me the day of the post and try and describe it! :)

Check it out, and feel free to put it on your blog list to watch for updates!

Killing a few Birds with One Stone

So, I really don't like the title of this post, but I couldn't think of another way to put it. I really would never kill a bird, especially with a stone, but I think this saying is fairly old. Needless to say, this post has a star, a new order and some testimonials!

Repeat offender star modeling Boho Chic


Everyone thank my talented and creative friend Julie (visit her blog at http://myhappychappy.blogspot.com) for wanting an Easter Bunny shirt for boys - so here is one with a blue furry tail.


Go ahead brownie-goose and toot that horn with some testimonials:

"The outfits made by Brownie-Goose are simply amazing! I have ordered 12 outfits from Brownie-Goose and I LOVE every single one of them! Amy is so sweet and accommodating to all my needs/wants! The outfits are NOT just thrown together but made with care! I'm so happy I found Brownie-Goose and will definitely be ordering tons more as the prices are unbeatable!

For the Love of Onesie.......



Okay, so for anyone who was in a 5 mile radius the last time that I appliqued a onesie..........well, let's just say I had to do some washing of my mouth with soap. After that, I swore I would never do a onesie again for brownie-goose. Well, that was until some sweet friends placed an order (they were grandfathered in because they ordered before the onesie incident) for something that I had not done before, but had been wanting to. A hand-embroidered onesie. Too cute, and too desirable!

This makes the PERFECT baby gift (well, this and my burp cloths and bibs that is)! Since it is custom, the wording and color possibilities are endless! This is a new trend that is slowly making its way back in style (for those of you who care, Suri Cruise had a hand-embroidered onesie, yep - thanks to my people.com addiction I know that).

So, needless to say, the onesie has been allowed back into brownie-goose, no more exile. So, email me today at browniegoose@hotmail.com with orders!

The hand-embroidered onesie is $14 and you choose the color and wording!

PS - this hand-embroidery can be done on shirts for the tots too!

Orders Up!


Okay, so before I show you some of the recent orders, I wanted to share a picture that is very important to brownie-goose. The namesake, my 2 labs, Mallard & Lucy - who we call Brownie and Goose, are my life. I love them. You can see their photo on the right side of the blog under "brownie-goose namesake." That photo was taken back when we lived in Georgia and we had just recently rescued Goose, so she was like 6 or 7 months.........way before she grew into the 124 lb. horse she is now. Well, the other night, they were both sleeping on the same couch together again (the animals rule the house here) and I had to take the picture. Honestly, Lucy (Goose, the black lab on the left) could EAT Mallard (Brownie, the chocolate on the right). Crazy how they grow!

Now on to some recent orders................

Easter Bunny & Ruffle Pants, $26


Yikes Stripes John John, $28


Snakes & Snails Shorts & Appliqued Shirt, $26


Oh-La-La Smock & Bloomers, $28
