Work It Wednesday: What's New In the Studio and 10 Week Etsy Shop Series

New Items

You'll be finding a fun new item in the shop soon. The brand spankin' new BooBoo Ice ice/heat packs! If you saw our post last week with our contest and fun new fabrics, you'll be pleased to know that the wait is over and the item has been revealed!

 No one guessed correctly what the new item was and a winner was randomly chosen from all the guesses made on the blog and on Facebook. The winner of our contest was Natasha Lanier!

I'm in LOVE with these adorable fabrics and how perfectly cuddly and cozy they are to soothe your little one's booboos. I don't know about you, but my kids want a bandaid for every single bump. But with these sweet little ice packs in the freezer, they ditch the idea of a bandaid for their booboo ice! The best part? Adults can use them too for a little cooling relief (migraines or minor cooking mishaps anyone?) and even pop them in the microwave for a few seconds for those minor aches from chasing the little munchkins around all day.

Personalize Your Items

Another great thing that's coming soon is our embroidery machine! That's right. You asked for it and now it's becoming a reality. I have officially ordered my Brother embroidery machine and it will be here in about a week. Personalized bows, bags, sleep masks and onesies here we come!

Also coming soon...

New Blog Series

For those of you looking for a little Etsy shop owner wisdom, next week will mark the beginning of our 10 Week Etsy Shop series "Improving Your Etsy Shop". This series will go through everything from scheduling and organizing to photography and tagging. I can't wait to share all of these great posts with you! 

So what do you think of the new items, the upcoming options of personalization with our embroidery machine, and our new blog series?

Makin' It Monday: Your Chance to WIN

I had an excellent supply shopping day Friday and came home with some fun fabrics, ribbons, and beads. These will all eventually become bows, jewelry, sleep masks, and scarves. 

But today I'm working on new items. Brand new ones. Something not in the shop currently, and that I haven't had in it before. 

What is it you may ask...

You could ask, but I'm not telling. At least not until someone guesses correctly because today YOU get a chance to WIN what I'm making.

Here are the beautiful fabrics I will be using:

One very lucky person will get their choice of the end result IF they are the first person to guess what I'm making.

 **If there are no correct guesses everyone will be entered by number in the order of entry and a random winner will be chosen

Will you be the winner? Give it a shot! What do you think it is? And what are you making or working on today? 

Share our blog with your friends so that they get a chance to play too! The more the merrier! 

If you have a blog too, let me know in the comments so we can follow you and give you some blog love!
