Check Out My Newest Creation(s)!

I made the poncho warmer (two layers) and reversible! Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this is cool... I also made an infant poncho for wee ones who can't walk yet. It's longer and scoops in the front so it covers Baby's feet in the car seat/stroller/swing/bouncy anywhere really, I'm so excited and proud. I just had to share. :)

If you like them I do sell them! Tell me what fabric you would like (I can find almost anything) and I will make you the perfect poncho for your kiddo! Fall and cooler weather is on the way. Now's the time to order. Sorry, marketing isn't my strong suit. :)

I'm actually making sales in my Etsy Shop! I'm so excited! And I love what I'm doing. How amazing is that? I love what I do AND I get to stay at home with my babies. Talk about having a full heart. Now if only I had a full pocket book to go with it. Money is still tight and I know what little I make isn't going to make a big difference, but I feel like I'm at least contributing now. Matt is on call for three weeks in a row, trying to bring in more money to keep us afloat, but it's really hard on him.

Here's what I'm selling, in case anyone is wondering.

Gauze Wrap Baby Carrier

 Funky Tutu Outfit

And of course - The Car Seat Poncho!

Anyone else enjoying craft type activities? I sure am!

I added another project to my list: Start an Etsy shop. Because apparently I’m an idiot who has nothing better to do! I couldn’t help myself. I saw that fleece was on sale at the fabric store and I had a little cash burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to give selling poncho’s a shot.

I don’t think I blogged about making Avalyn a poncho out of the leftover material from the poncho I made for myself. The difference is hers is MUCH cuter and a pullover. Well, her poncho has generated a lot of compliments from strangers, family, and friends, so I decided to try selling them.

So far I’ve had no takers, so if I can’t sell them on Etsy I’ll try local “Made in Michigan” shops or craft shows. She loves playing outside in it, it's super easy to clean, and I can really see it being awesome when we go to the cottage this year. Perfect to sit outside in the morning, or at night by the fire pit. I'm so excited!

Bet you’re dying to see the finished product, huh? Well, even if you aren’t curious, here are some pictures!

Full view. Isn't she cute??

The hood = fun times

It even works in the car seat. Love that.

Woot!
