Cry Baby is a general store and chain stitch embroidery shop.

01/11/2025

Back at it on Saturday! Cry Baby will be open 12-6 Saturday, and 12-5 Sunday and Monday.

Did I get much done during my break? No. Do I regret it? Also no. See you soon!

01/08/2025

Howdy! Cry Baby will reopen on SATURDAY. Between weather-related shipment delays, being sick during my break, and tearing apart and reorganizing the shop, I need a couple more days. So we’ll see you then! Bring your favorite denim jacket and get something off our neeeew flash sheet.

Throwing this on the grid because you liked it so much in my stories. This was probably my favorite thing I stitched in 2024. It took a lot of hours and I thought it was terrible until it was finished. I’m hoping to challenge myself similarly in 2025. Maybe I’ll get weirder. Is that even possible? Let’s find out.

01/01/2025

Hey pals! Happy new year! Cry Baby will remain closed until 1/9. I’m working on cranking out some fun new stuff, but also I’ve got a cute little cough that I don’t want to pass around. See you next week!

12/26/2024

Cry Baby is CLOSED for the rest of the year (and maybe the first week of next? Haven’t decided yet.) Taking some time to do a little post-holiday reset and rest my bones. If you’re trying to reach me, just wait a little bit. See ya later!

12/23/2024

Today is the day! Cry Baby is open 12-5 today, Monday, December 23rd. Be like one of those shoppers in the song and then you can rush home with your treasures. We’ll likely be closed next week for a little reset. That will include a website relaunch, so stay tuned! In the meantime, electronic gift cards are always available and can be used on said future website.

This truly has been a wonderful holiday season, and I’m so grateful for each and every one of you that supported Cry Baby. And I know you made things better for our houseless neighbors because they told me so. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If I don’t see you today, I’d better see you in 2025. Love, Shawn

It’s time! Come on down to ye olde Cry Baby to wrap up your holiday shopping, or just to yap idc. We’ve got sweatshirts, stocking stuffers, walk-in chain stitch embroidery, and all kinds of happy-making stuff. Trying to stay indoors and still shop local? We have electronic gift cards so you can give your loved ones whatever they want. You know where the 🔗 is. Open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. See ya soon!

12/16/2024

Important update! Cry Baby now has electronic gift cards! Tell all your loved ones. They are available at the 🔗 in our ☣️. That’s right, our biohazard.

E-gift cards can also be purchased in store. They’ll send directly to the recipient via email or text, up to you. When our website is back up, you will also be able to redeem them there. Amazing stuff. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. 💕

12/07/2024

We’re open five days a week! Come get some deeply personal treasure for the freaks in your life. A little something to show you’re listening when they complain that their hot pink levels are dwindling.

Walk-in embroidery every day. Use our bandanas and beanies or bring your own stuff. See ya soon!

12/02/2024

Greetings! Not only is it shopping season, it’s also shivering season. Brrrrr! One of the great joys of small business ownership for me (hi, Shawn here) is connecting with the people in my neighborhood. Cry Baby welcomes our houseless neighbors, even on days when the shop is closed to the public. I’ve been fortunate enough to build some deep bonds with these folks, and knowing them has enriched my life greatly. They crack me up, cheer me on, and often keep me company on slow days when I’m not sure what the future holds for the shop. It’s not always easy to meet the needs of this population, but it is necessary, and you can help!

Please swipe through our little post here to see how you can show up for our Shelby Park neighbors. And let me say thank you on their behalf by offering a 10% discount on your CB purchase with a donation.

Thank you!

11/29/2024

Season’s greetings! We are as ready for Small Business Saturday as we’ll ever be. Come on in this weekend for tiny treasures, simple pleasures, tape measures, and embroidery while you wait. See ya real soon!

11/24/2024

Hey! I keep forgetting to post on the grid because stories are more fun. Here are a few of the sweatshirts I’ve made for you, please come get them. See ya soon!

11/15/2024

We are SO back. Cry Baby is open regular hours from here through the end of the year. Come on in or else! You can bring your own stuff for me to embroider. Often I can do it while you wait. You’ll love it. Just do it.

Here’s a sweet custom jacket I finished just before vacation. This is own art, with some kicky little barbed wire stitched on the cuffs. It’s a pleasure to watch Luci grow as a tattoo artist, and as someone who only found my dream medium in the last few years I feel like we’re on similar paths. She has tattooed me a few times (with more to come), and there’s just something really special about trading art like this.

I’m still on vacation, but will be back in the shop FRIDAY. Is it weird to say I miss you? See ya soon!

11/08/2024

Howdy! Here are our hours this weekend. I’m on vacation far away, so please enjoy the friendly guest cry babies I’ve sourced for you.

Have a safe one, and take extra good care of each other. Also reminder we are a drop-off location for donations. Please see the previous post on our grid for more info.

11/07/2024

Hi friends! Cry Baby will be open 12-5 today. Our absolutely lovely friend Moss will be behind the counter.

Tonight from 5-7 .collective will be having community hours. If I wasn’t 800 miles away it’s where you’d find me. I hope everyone is taking good care of themselves and each other this week and beyond. ❤️

11/04/2024

Say it with me: you and who? These two are available in store for the next, oh, three hours. The navy one is a large and big red is a 3X. Then I’m going on vacation!

Watch this space for weird hours next week while our friends keep an eye on the shop. I’m also working on getting you a new website, which means you’ll be able to enjoy the Cry Baby experience without all the chain stitch machine noise and complaints of skeletal pain from the owner. But my skeleton does hurt.

11/01/2024

Lots of good, clean fun to be had in the shop today. New CB beanies, cool beans, cute mugs, socks for girls of all genders, those matches you love as well as their hot new ashtray, and some snacky hair clips like you’ve never seen before. Come on in!
