Operation Handmade Holiday has begun! As we prepare for the holidays this year we are taking the pledge to make more gifts than ever before.Yes you can go to a store and BUY things, but isn’t it better to make them ? More personalized and of course cheaper!
We will be chronicling our handmade travels on both our ROBAY STUDIO blog as well as Sweet Hours. From soaps to crocheted ornaments ( pictured to the right) we will be making lots of gifty items for everyone on your list.
Quick Tip: I usually start by making a list of everyone on my ‘nice’ list 
I then sort them by groups, families, single folks, work buddies, kids etc. If you have 5 kids to buy for ask yourself, can I make them all something similar, say crayon roll ups or smock aprons ? Lots of ladies to buy for this year? If making soaps and spa gifts try bigger batches to save time!

Busy weekend! Two new girly bibs! Sometimes I wish I had a girl- but then I look at my beautiful little boy and think he’s just right 
These bibs are named after my two twin cousins Chloe and Grace. They are not babies any more but I think the patterns would suit them.
The Robay ladies have been in the sun all weekend! Souneva and her little ones went to the beach and a birthday party. I hung out at home in the back yard and also hung out by the lake in Dudley. Fun times! So nice to have some decent weather.

Had a great day yesterday, went to visit a friend up in the Berkshires. Visited a lovely wine shop called Nejamies in Pittsfield. Fresh Cibbatta bread and a beautifully light french red. I wanted to do some vintage shopping but we didn’t have a lot of time.
Library play group today. Then Bay went to his friend Freddy’s house to hang with him and Calvin. They all had a nice time while us moms enjoyed coffee cake and coffee.
We have been hard at work on paci clips and bibs galore. I am currently working on a new diaper clutch should be done by Sunday!
Just listed! Cloth baby shoes. Super comfy and cute- sure to make a statement
