One of the first big presents my husband gave me was a little Elna TSP, which I still have. It took me a while to gain the confidence to use but once I did I never looked back.
When my children were small I loved making clothes for them. they were tall and thin, so it was difficult to find things in the shops that fitted them.
For the last 4 years I have had a stall at some local markets selling baby and childrens gear but recently decided that my weekends are precious and that I should try my hand at selling online.
I thought it would be a good idea to write down my thoughts about this whole experience, this always helps me to clarify things in my head. So here goes.....................

Cherry booties


I have finally got around to taking a fair number of photos.
Here are the first pair of booties don't they look cute, I will have bibs and hats to match of course. I am quite happy with them and will have sizes from newborn - 18 months.
I forgot to mention earlier that I have been looking through Christina Purdues blog where she has generously set out ideas for revamping, or as in my case setting up a shop on etsy. I have created a link to her blog so that others can gain from her experience and ideas.
I have managed to put together a banner with a couple of photos from my shop and a picture of a baby in a cupcake hat. Again I simply followed some instructions from an etsy forum.Speaking of forums I have been looking through and have decided to try to join etsybaby and etsykids where people who make toys clothes etc. for children work as teams to help promote one anothers work.
