It's Been a While

It has been quite a long time since I blogged on my site. It's largely due to that fact that I am seriously overwhelmed with taking care of my kiddos. Ever since my son was born this past June and taking care of my 3 year old son life has just been so crazy! I make all these goals for myself and "to-do" lists, but only a fraction of that list gets accomplished. So, with that said, I simply have not had any time to dedicate to my business. I still have some outstanding orders that I have to complete, but once I am done with that I will be taking a break from the business and only producing items when I have the time. This is not to say that if someone were to ask me to create something custom for them I wouldn't entertain the request.

On another note, I recently reviewed my sales report for the entire year (Etsy, CafePress and Zazzle) and here are the stats for my most popular designs (1 being the most popular)

1. Baby Sea Turtle












2. Baby Panda & Mama
3. Pink (Sakura) Cherry Blossom
4. Blue Elephant Walk

Sakura Cherry Blossom Birth Announcement

A NEW ADDITION to my baby birth announcements section on Etsy.

I've taken my Cherry Blossom (sakura) design and designed a modern yet elegant birth announcement. Appropriate for a sweet new baby girl.

Symbolism of the Sakura:
"In China, the cherry blossom is a symbol of feminine beauty. It also represents the feminine principle and love in the language of herbs. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. They have also come to represent clouds of their nature of blooming en masse. Falling blossoms are metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in battle. This connotation links them with the samurai."

Baby Sea Turtles Custom Baby Quilt

A few months ago I was asked by a lady in another state to create her custom baby nursery accessories using my Baby Sea Turtle design. I quickly created a look that would carry throughout the room with modern circles, browns, greens and of course the infamous Baby Sea Turtles. My first creation of the series was the Crib Quilt.

This quilt is made of 100% chocolate brown linen, 100% cotton (big circles), and satin (sea turtles).
