Where have I been?

Hi - Okay so I just realized I've not blogged several weeks and for a very good reason. I never imagined when getting started with the critter cape idea that it would take off so well. I went from getting a couple orders a weeks to 10-15 orders for finished products and 100s of pattern sales. The best way to describe it is I'll have been on Etsy a year on July 20th. I'm at 815 sales and 750 ish of those were in the past two months. Now most of those are pattern sales but still it's completely amazing to me.

This little turtle has been on fire. I've literally sold one every day since I listed it (sometimes more). It made it's way on pinterest and has spread like crazy.

I'm kinda tired of turtles.....LOL but I'm not complaining. 

I'm kinda hoping to reach 1000 etsy sales by July 20th so I can say I did it in a year! 

So to help I have a pattern sale going on.

You can get any 3 of my crochet patterns for $9.00 it's basically buy two get one free. 

You can purchase this via etsy 

If you want to help me reach my goal you can also just purchase two patterns and tell me which one you want for free. ;) 

Thanks so much for your support on this crazy adventure the past two months. I'm so looking forward to busy season for fall/winter. So remember if you really want something soon or even Christmas don't wait to long because my wait time is already 3-4 weeks and I'll start teaching piano again in a month so I'll be so much more busy! 

Have a great weekend!

Goodger Photography and more

So I've been a bit of a blog slacker but it's a good thing. My cuddle critter capes have taken flight and my sales have grown immensely so I've been crocheting like crazy. I'm so excited for the future of my business at this point and can't thank my wonderful fans and customers enough for your support.

Another exciting note - I got to meet up with a fabulous local photographer Christy Goodger of Goodger Photography. She isn't just any photographers. She is an amazing newborn photographer and honestly I'm more than thrilled to be working with her. You've got to check her work out! If you want pictures that you'll love for a lifetime she's totally worth it! If your local to the OKC metro- she has a darling studio in downtown Bethany, OK.

You can visit her on Facebook or her website for more info.

What you wanted to see pictures .....OH Ok here are a few!

I loved her idea to put an owl in the hanging basket like a little nest. 

Cute! Baby bear hat! 

even more precious is two babies!

She's got a bag full of props and I'm so excited to see more images soon! 

Thanks Christy!

New designs and New photos

Happy Hump Day ! I've been busy creating a few new designs for the Cape photography props. I've journeyed Through the forest and the jungle so now it's time to head down south to the farm :)

I started with my most requested a cow, pig and bunny. For my farm I decided on Sleepy animals with a closed eye look: 

Introducing :

{Sleepy Cow}

{Pink Piggy}

{Bunny Rabbit}

You can find these all in my Artfire Shop. I have both the crochet patterns and finished products for sale.

On a fabulous last note! I received some gorgeous photos from Ten Toes Photography.

I'm working with another talented crocheter who has great resources for several photographers. She'll be making the props and getting them photographed for her and I. So if the photo's look familiar we are both using them with permission from the Photographers. I just love seeing these props in action!!

Here are two pics of the lovely Hatchling Turtle.

Looks so adorable on this little precious baby!
