Etsy Baby Shower

I recently signed up to participate in the Etsy Baby Shower. Basically a bunch of expecting moms sign up to receive gifts from Etsy stores that carry baby products. Then Etsy stores sign up to donate gifts to these moms. Each mom gets 4 gifts (usually from 4 different stores) and each Etsy shop can sign up to give as many gifts as they want. I signed up to give 4 gifts and I got 3 moms (one set of boy/girl twins!!!). Throughout the process the Etsy Baby Shower organizers promote the shops participating kind of as a thank you for donating. Here is a Treasury that I’ve been featured in:


Last night I started working on my gifts. I bought this adorable baby hat pattern about a month ago and I finally gave it a try. I think it turned out adorable! The sizes from the pattern are a little large for a newborn, so I’m going to try and scale down the pattern for my gifts. I’ll post updates as I make the gifts for the cuties I’ve been assigned. Here’s a pic of the first hat I made:



I used corduroy for the outside, jersey cotton for the lining, and a scrap of suede for the argyle patch. Let me know what you think!

Treasury East is Here!

Etsy has been hinting at a new Treasury option besides the cut-throat fight to get a Treasury Main. The new Treasury East is super easy to use because they don't expire, and you can put more items in each treasury. Here's the first one I made: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/0524b47b57aec84b24ba6f00

I'm in a Craftomania Treasury!

Monday News

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Cashmere Cloche in the Etsy kids March Contest! It didn't win, but you can check out the winner here: trendypeas. Also the Ribboned Baby Hat in Lime and Pink was featured in a Treasury this week! Check it out if you have time, thanks!

Happy Thursday!

Lots of things going on today. First, I scored another treasury today. It's pretty much a hodgepodge of my favorites but I did organize it by rows. The first is babies, second is kiddos, third is ladies, and last is home etc. Here's a Screenshot of the treasury but you can also visit it here: TREASURY

Next, there are a few new things in my shop like this set of booties:

Finally, I'm jealous that Christine is in DISNEY this weekend. Especially since the Disney Princesses Run (half marathon for women at Disney World) just passed. Check out the Disney blog article about it here: PRINCESSES

I'm in a Treasury for the first time!

Making Treasuries on Etsy is difficult, but getting featured in one is even harder! I'm finally in my first Treasury. You can see it here: TREASURY and I've added a screen shot below, check out my Baby Crib Blanket!

Many thanks to peacefu1 for featuring me!

I Scored Another Treasury!

Gotta love hovering around your computer, refreshing every 5 seconds, waiting for a Treasury to be available :) I scored my second treasury today, you can look at it here: TREASURY
Or just enjoy this pic of it:



Enjoy!
