TOTAL SHOCK

Wow, I am just so amazed and shocked. We have sold almost 70 crayon bags total! I can not believe it. When we first started figuring out the pattern and making it up as we went, and then put them on etsy, we didn't think they would be anything huge. They took almost a month to start "taking off." Then out of nowhere they just would sell by two's. Etsy so is so much fun and so addicting!

We at first were doing stuff everybody else was making and selling, and didn't do very good at all. Now that we have our own unique design that no one else has, it is just crazy!

We have our next show coming up soon, and then I think after that show we are going to do a fun Christmas give-a-way! So stay tuned for that!

Have a wonderful week everyone! I am so excited for Thanksgiving. All our family will be here! They are all going to come into town and we are going to have so much fun catching up and seeing how fast the nieces and nephews have grown!

In case I don't update by then, HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Come check us out!

"Baby First Busy Book" Pictures

Welcome to our blog! This is just a BUNCH of pictures that kind of demonstrates the "Baby First Busy Book" on our etsy(Click on "More Pictures" label and there are a few more in one other post.) Posted for those who want to see more than the 5 pictures on etsy! Enjoy! (Each slightly varies because they are handmade and fabrics may be made unavailable--fabric may vary slightly!)

Tepee Page: Feel the suede texture.... (improvements--the background now is more colorful and has blue sky with clounds and vibrant green grass!)

This first picture is where you unzip the tepee and.......... Who do you see sitting inside?

Phone Page:

Pick up the phone or turn the dial to "call" someone and to see your animal friends.

Ring....Ring............................Ring......

Lion Page: Feel the soft fleece...

By far one of our favorite pages. This cute lion loves to play peek-a-boo.....

Your little one slides their hands into the paws and...
Plays peek-a-boo with the lion!
Boot page: See the Bright yellow boot....

Traditional "tie the shoelace page" with a little extra..... There is a frog and mouse in your boot that are finger puppets. 2 activities on one page!

Fish Page: See all these cute fishy friends!

Go fishing and try to catch the fish with the magnetic fishing rod! (improvements--the big orange fish is now very colorful and polka-dotted! Also, the water is a pocket so the fish comes 'out of the sea.')

Flower Page:

Learn how to take off buttons and put them in the pocket..... (improvement on this page--are the petals are attached to the stems so there are NO loose pieces at all, so less pick up time and no losing any pieces!!)
Also, learn to button them on!
Dog Page:

Feed and play with your puppy by putting the magnetic ball and bone in his mouth!

Spider Page:

Help the spider build a web......... and let him sit on the magnetic grass!Cute Cover!! Fabric may slightly vary!

Green Polka dot cover unavailable! But tell us if you want "boy, girl, or gender neutral"

Quiet Books, Baby's First Outfit, and upgraded Activity Bags......OH MY!

Hello everyone! I am so HAPPY it is the weekend! Yay!

We have been working on trying to do some updating a lot on some of the items and to complete a little project we have been wanting to do for sometime!

First, we have designed little QUIET BOOKS that are perfect for church and home, or ANY time you need to entertain your little one and it needs to be quiet! It is a book that you can add extra pages to or switch out pages as your child gets bored of the same ones. We will sell the book with 4 pages, something on the front and back, and then we will sell extra pages seperately, something on the front and back. Check out etsy (www.KnotSewShabby.etsy.com) to see what special things are on each page and what they do!!!

Outside cover....

Next, we have received a suggestion to make our On The Go ACTIVITY BAG with trendier fabrics. Right now Becky is working on a few to add on etsy that are not so much "kid" fabric. We also have decided to raise the prices on them...

To see more pictures and how the crayons and paper fit in, visit our etsy!

Why didn't the pirate go to the movies??.... because it was rated "Aargh!!!"

Last, but NOT least, we have decided to try out BABY'S FIRST OUTFIT, because you know that the first month ALL the clothes you buy in the store just DO NOT fit. Also, you want that first photo from the hospital that you send out to your family and friends to just be PERFECT and your precious one to look so cute in an outfit that isn't 2 sizes too big! Am I right?

So far we only have one made and hope to get more made soon. We are thinking of doing some of them kind of alike, so if you have twin boy and girl, they could have cute matching twin outfits!

Well, let us know what you think! We know we can improve and love feedback. We also want to know if these are good ideas!!!

Hopefully by the end of next week, we will be finished making our give-a-way prize and will start the give-a-way, so look forward to that FOR SURE by the end of the month!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

♥
