Thanks for your suggestions!

I want to thank everyone who commented on my last post about the ideal baby blanket size. A few preferred a smaller blanket, but most photographers would rather have a larger one to use as a backdrop. Since the yarn I wanted to use is quite expensive, a larger blanket may have ended up costing about $200. So, I went in a different direction and used my favorite yarn to make some new beanies and cocoons. I may take one suggestion and make a 17"x30" blanket in the future.

This is the Cream Fluffy Baby Beanie.

And here is the matching cocoon.

They are available in cream, tan and pink and all have a removable and repositionable bow.

I haven't completely abandoned the idea of making a new baby blanket. I've just returned from Michael's with a fresh supply of Bernat Cottontots yarn in green, blue and cream and I'm about to start making a checkered baby blanket. It probably won't appeal to photographers, but I'm sure it would make a lovely shower gift. I'll post pics when it's done.

New year, new design

Happy New Year!! I ended the year on a high note by celebrating my 200th sale on Etsy. I'm pretty pleased about that since my original goal was to reach 100 sales in my first year. I opened my shop in May 2008, so I've doubled my goal in a little over 7 months. I'm now hoping to reach 300 sales by my 1 year anniversary. I spent some of my holidays working on a new baby hat design. It's a folded brim baby cap that's decorated with a little flower. I currently have 3 colors available in the shop.

Chocolate Brown

Sweet Cream

Pretty in Pink

Newborn Earflap Hats

I already have a few earflap hats for older kids in my shop, and now I've added some for newborns. So far I only have 2 color choices, but will be adding a few more soon. These ones are made with Pretty in Pink and White.

These one are made with Sweet Cream and Pretty in Pink.

I also have a new Chocolate Brown Earflap Hat for the big kids too!
