Cuddle Baby

My featured etsy seller in the 90 sellers in 90 days is Cuddle baby.
http://cuddlebaby.etsy.com
http://cuddlebabyblankets.blogspot.com

From the artist:
CuddleBaby was created out of a passion making blankets and other items for my two children. It all started with my first baby. I liked to swaddle her, but couldn't ever find blankets big enough. So, with my 2nd, I started making my own. I began thinking that others might like large blankets also, so I began selling blankets at our local Gardener's Market until I found out about ETSY. I am always looking for new ideas, so keep checking back for new colors, fabrics and designs.


Now I know I have been at this for longer than ninety days due to some circumstances in my life-I hope you all will hang in with me as I continue in this :).

Ring


A few days ago I got a convo on etsy from another user ( MaggieMoo ) wanting to know if I made rings.
Well, I haven't really tried this, but she wanted something really simple and said she didn't mind being the guinea pig.
She had been looking on etsy and unable to find what she was looking for.
So, I tried a few things. Some didn't work out so well ;).
But, I came up with a very simple herringbone ring.
I really like it!
Not only was I able to create something for someone that they were looking for and will love, but she helped me create a new item for my shop!

About the artists:

KreativeMindz is our company I started about 6 years ago (a dream I've had forever). Aly and Beau are a husband and wife team, supporting each other through love, laughter and creativity.

We mostly make clothing (in all sizes and colors), Goddess Wraps™, Hot Packs, Bags, Purses, Wallets, Cuffs and many other cool things! Beau is a very skilled craftsman and carpenter. Check out the Wooden Kreationz section to see some things my husband is now adding. :D

A LITTLE ABOUT US

I was born and raised in a home of artists. My mother a painter, and my father a photographer.
As kids we always were doing some sort of "project". This has continued for me thoughout my life, dipping my hands in all sorts of creative "projects". I found my nitch in sewing. I LOVE creating different things. I picture it in my mind and then it becomes...it is my "gift" I suppose. And I enjoy working with the different fibers to see what can be done with them.
I mostly stay at home and mother our 2 wonderful and beautiful children (10 and 3), my husband and best friend, our 3 dogs and a cat, and our beautiful land. This keeps me busy, as I'm sure you can imagine, but I try to sew on a daily basis, even if it's only 15 minutes. I have been making clothes for many, many years (15 to be exact). I first started when I was 15 and made a patchwork skirt by hand for a show I was going to. As I got older I bought a sewing machine and began making clothes to support my traveling and music habit. I have traveled all over the country selling my clothes at all the wonderful shows and festivals. I miss that sometimes but am so blessed to have my 2 wonderful and beautiful children. When my son got older I started working in the film buisness...helping design sets and such. This was wonderful and fun work, but I truly missed being home. My daughter was born 3 years ago, and with the help of my wonderful and supportive husband, I started to stay home again. And KreativeMindz started to blossom.

I am so very thankful to have this opportunity to be able to watch my children grow!!! We enjoy our land and our organic gardens. Hiking, fishing, swimming, playing, camping, fires, drum circles and a show when we can catch one. My husband is a carpenter and loves working with his hands and building wonderful things!

Thanks to all of you whom support us stay at home mamas and independent artists!!!! And thank you for helping our dream become reality! We truly appreciate all the support! :D

Why not go over and see the rest of their shop?
