DIY baby toys

ok so I know baby toys are EXPENSIVE.. and the only use they get 90% of the time, is thrown around, or just break for no apparent reason! So all you really need is fabric/ribbon scraps and you make a ton! even your oopsy's from other projects can turn into a toy! its so easy that i dont feel i need to even explain much more than sew ribbon and 2 pieces of fabric what ever shape together.. bam a toy! you can stuff some plastic inside, and you got a noise maker... throw some noise makers inside too! what ever you want! save some money on toys that just keep going up and up in price!

this was my mess up strap. so i stuffed it instead!

Crochet

so I have also started crocheting! yeah i said starting. its been a month and i already made a crocodile stitch clutch!!!!! and an Irish Rose, both of which a few people i personally know are mad about... because they have been doing this for years and can't do those! lol but it is soooo time consuming. so im not sure if i will be doing much of that!

one day, I realized how much my kids try to sleep comfortable on long rides.. and it does not work! i watch their little minds light bulbs go off, with stuffing their jackets around the belt, or shoving a toy... than i thought WTF don't i just make something. I mean I know others have, but it felt it was time to make my own. They picked their favorite Skull patterns, and brown ribbon.. and wala!

I can make baby blankets, Child, and adult blankets. as I make more I will post more pictures.

First Post

So, I hear it's a good idea for businesses to start a blog, so customers can get to know you better. I like the idea of having more than just a selling connection with my customers and am open to making it more personal so that way I can better serve my customers. So, to start I will blog about why I started my own business and what inspired me.

My inspiration is my family! I have a loving husband Charlie, and 3 wonderful boys (Merrik age 5, Asher age 3.5, and Eli 6 months). Not only do the inspire me to do more for with my life, but my mother and grandmother play a big role in my inspiration. Though they are no longer with me, they always inspire me and have helped me through my creativity all my life. My grandmother was a SAHM to 5 children she made ends meet by making everything for her family. She always was into some sort of crafts. Made wedding dresses, baby clothes, blankets, always teaching me, and to this day I wish I payed more attention! My mother was the same way she was good at wedding decorations above all else. It inspired me to help others with their wedding. They also always did things to help others save money, and i know how hard it is to find great things for low price, that is why I am determined to do my best to keep my prices low and affordable with great quality.

I always thought of starting my own business but than suddenly looking at buying things for my son, I have realized how low quality and high priced things have become. That made me decided even with a downsizing economy I wanted to start my own services for others. I decided to try to do mostly custom orders so that way customers know what they are getting and get to personalize it for them, instead of mass sales of the same looking products. I am not worried about how many sales I make, just to make happy customers. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am always open to suggestions and reviews and questions.
