how sad!

How sad is it when you log on to blog and you can't remember your password and you have to reset it. That means that I haven't been doing my job and keeping this up to date.

There isn't a whole lot going on in Sweet Tater land.

I am wanting to expand into more items though. I am finding that handmade children's items aren't big sellers. I am kinda bummed about that. I thought that it was something cool and fun. I am still making things though, mostly custom orders, and of course, my gifts to friends are handmade.

I am now making luggage tags. They are pretty cute and have been a huge success so far. I am still trying to catch up on the orders that I have gotten so far. I am also wanting to get into making kitchen items, maybe some matching towels and pot holders. My potholders are a big success too, but I have yet to sell them publicly. Pictures will be posted soon.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I am always open to suggestions or constructive criticisms.

Peace out!

Good morning everyone!

I wanted to let you know about this blog. She is having a giveaway everyday up to the 1 year anniversary of her blog. She has asked various etsy sellers and others to participate and I hopped on the wagon. Today is my giveaway day, so go check it out.

Her blog is a sundry of information. It is a great mommy blog. I recommend becoming a follower. I have.

There are some great etsy sellers on her site, you can still register for the previous 7 days of giveaways and they don't draw until February 1, so you have plenty of time to get over there and see whats going on. I hope you like what she has on there.

Again, her blog is beforethebabywakes.blogspot.com.

Later, peeps!

my button

Hey! Check out my button ---------------------> I added an etsy button to the blog. When you click on it, it will take you directly to my etsy store. I have added a few things in the past couple of weeks, check them out. .

Things have been kinda slow. I have gotten 2 orders from my etsy store though, I am super stoked about that. But, when it rains, it pours........babies, that is. I have 3 babies that I am sewing for right now. Since they usually come in threes, maybe this will be it for a little while. Congrats to all my friends!

I have decided to take on a couple of other projects. I have decided to try to make a shirt for myself.....scary, I know. I don't know how I feel about sewing clothes, but it's a really cute shirt...and I am going to attempt luggage tags....Vera Bradley style. Not that I am trying to become the next Vera Bradley, I just like the stuff.........without the pricetag. We'll see!

Peace out!

Sweet Tater now on Etsy!

Hello everyone!

I have been away for a little while, but I have been hard at work. amongst everything that has been going on, I have been trying to get ready for my big craft show, here in Gainesville.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have now opened an etsy store. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of pictures on there, but I do have some burp cloths for you to look at.

I have a new product that I am going to start working on....ruffled socks! I am going to try to do the ruffled socks and hairbow combo. I will let you guys know when that comes to fruition. I am trying to keep things kind of simple these days since my little one has been keeping me super busy!

I just wanted to let you guys know that we are still here and trying to do new, fun things for you!

Take care and I hope to see all of you soon.

Sweet Tater is back!

Well guys, the sewing machine is back up. I turned it on and it still works...ha,ha! Now I just have to get it in gear.

I have been lucky enough to work with a wonderful company, Miracles Adoption Agency, Inc., and her business is booming so she has me working, pretty much for the rest of the month, on some wonderful adoption packages for her new parents. Being adopted myself, this is something that really tugs at my heartstrings and to have her think highly enough of my products that she would like to give them to her adopting parents, just makes me smile ear to ear. And to know that these kids are going to loving homes where they will be loved is just such a great feeling.

Having said that, if there are any custom orders that you would like to place, I will be able to fill those come July1. I will also have some new products coming soon. I will no longer be making bibs, individually, I will only be making those as custom sets in the future. I am eager to get some products finished and posted for you guys to see.

I hope that you guys have a great rest of the week and look forward to working with you in the future.

Carolyn
