Order yours Today!


I've decided to offer my Argyle and Bubbles baby sets for a special price if purchased through my blog. Here's how it works. Go through the following steps to pick out what items you want. You can buy one thing or as many as you want. If you purchase a complete set - Receiving blanket, onesie, pacifier clip and burp cloth, you get all 4 items for only $25 (This price is for shipping within the United States - see bottom for Canada and International pricing!) - that includes shipping! That a savings of $7! If you purchase items separately, they will be the normal price found on my webstore. Once you've made your decision, either leave a comment on this blog or email me at cuddlebabyblankets@gmail.com! Check out my webstore for more beautiful and fun items!

Getting Started!

1. Choose a Receiving Blanket:
They measure 43"X43" and are made of 100% cotton flannel with rounded corners and serged edges. They are great for swaddling newborns all the way up to a blanket for a toddler. They are lightweight and great to take with you anywhere! See bottom for individual purchase prices.
Choose your Color:
A. Pink Argyle
B. Blue Argyle
C. Pink, Yellow and Peach Bubbles
D. Blue, Yellow and Green Bubbles

2. Choose a Onesie:
These onesies have an applique design and color of your choice stitched onto the front. The onesies are 100% cotton Gerber onesies and the applique is made of 100% cotton flannel. See bottom for individual purchase prices.
Choose your Size:
A. 0-3 month
B. 3-6 month
C. 6-9 month

The pacifier clips are great to attach a pacifier or toy to your child's clothing, stroller, car seat, etc. This will help eliminate the constant need to pick up your child's binky. They have metal snaps on one end to hook the pacifier to. The other end is a plastic, high-quality alligator clip. The color of the clip will depend on what I have in stock, but it will match with the fabric. It will be either pink, blue or clear. The clips measure 9" long once snapped shut and 3/4" in width. They are made of 100% cotton flannel. (Hand wash and lay flat to dry. ) **Don't let child use unattended. Not meant to be used while sleeping.** See bottom for individual purchase prices.

Argyle and Bubbles


I'm pretty excited about my newest project. I thought it would be fun to offer several items all made out of the same material. But, I didn't want it to be too boring, so this is what I came up with. I'm now offering onesies, receiving blankets, burp cloths, and pacifier clips that all match. Click on any of the items to see the listing. I think they are very cute. I'm especially excited about the Onesies. Not only do you choose your color, but you get to choose what design you get. I'm including the option of a bird, bear, giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, heart, square, circle, triangle, whale, star and turtle. I have it set up so that people can purchase any of the items individually, or for no extra shipping charges, buy them all as a set. I hope they end up being a big seller. I think they will be fun. Here are some pics.

NEW NEW NEW


Well, things have definitely died off a little in my shop. :-( I'm sure that's to be expected, but I had hoped the buying trend would continue. Anyway, it's given me a chance to finish a project I've been working on for a while. I decided to start making Minky blankets that are similar to the pink striped quilt that I made, only backed in solid Minky. I just finished the first one, and I have to say that I think it's the best I've made yet. I'm excited to get started on another one. Here's a couple of pictures.
Take a look at my webstore for more pictures.

I'm still running my Bow-Bear promotion, and still no one has found him. Hopefully soon he'll be spotted.

Can YOU find Bow Bear?

This month on Etsy, I'm offering a promotion, along with several other EtsyBaby Shops! Here is your mission!

Cupid needs your help to find his bow & arrow! Bow-Bear has been wandering around looking through all the EtsyBABY shops trying to help cupid find special things for those special someones, but now he's lost!!!!!
Cupid is offering a reward and has been posting pictures of his bow & arrow in the EtsyBABY shops.

The way the promotion works is, if you find an item in my shop with Bow Bear and his bow and arrows, you get to claim a prize if you purchase that item. So far, Bow Bear has been rumored to have been prancing through at least 10 of my items! And I'm so excited about the prize you will receive! If you purchase a Bow Bear item, you get a free bright and colorful Tote Bag. They measure about 12across X 13tall X 4width. They have extra pockets, zipper section, water bottle holders, cell phone holders, and change purses attached to them. Each one is different. They are perfect for library bags, diaper bags, purses, anything! Until tomorrow, I only have 2 colors to offer, but then I will have a bunch more to display. These are the two designs I have for right now.
I'm really excited about this promotion and I hope that I'm able to give away a lot of these cute totes! So, come visit my shop and see if you can find Bow Bear!

Back in Business



I can't believe it's been so long since my last post on this blog. Christmas was so busy for us. I finally finished the blankets I was working on for the girls. I think they turned out really cute. Here's a pic. We had a great time visiting with both sides of our family, but it was also nice once the craziness was over with and we were able to relax at home again. I had my birthday on January 1st. It was nice. My husband always makes a big effort to make my birthday extra special. However, after that, the new year started and we picked up our busy lives again. Chad started school again and he has been so busy getting ready to go to Colorado next week for a big convention. I have been extremely busy as well. I don't really know what's going on, but business is booming! I've sold 37 items so far this month! That's double my sales since starting last August. My goal was to have an average of 5 sales a month during my first year of business, but I'm having to readjust that now since I've passed it. As of today, my Etsy sold total is 70 items. I had a large order for receiving blankets, but all of the other ones have been individual sales. My husband and I joke that he's buying everything and having it shipped out to random addresses. Since the beginning of this month, I've only had 3 days that no one purchased anything and I've had a couple of days with 3 separate purchases. It's been amazing. It certainly has kept me busy though. And my 2 year old, Myra, loves it, because we go to the Post Office almost every day. She really enjoys the post office because they have a little kid-size bench and TV for her to watch. When she sees me packing something up, she gets so excited. Anyway, whatever is going on, I sure hope it continues! This must just be a busy time of the year for people having babies? I'm also working on a few new ideas right now. And I'm trying to find ways of making my business more professional, like real business cards and gift tags, instead of what I'm just printing off my computer. But, for now I'm having fun with it.
