Sunday's featured store

From now on I'm going to try to feature at least one etsy store every Sunday, and maybe even one more during the course of the week. Today's store that I ran into is called Paper from heaven. She sells crayon rolls in her store. Her name is Katie and is a stay at home mom of three boys. OH Brother that's a handful that's all I can say. Now the one thing that makes her stuff unique is that most crayon rolls have one pocket that holds one crayon. She makes hers with a twist, which is too cool, check it out.

Pretty neat hun? It's such a nicer way to get the crayons out. It's adorable, any kid would want that. The other thing that makes her crayon rolls unique is that their fabrics/patterns that are hard to find, or stuff I've never seen before. She also has really cute crayon tote bags too. You know how most crayon tote bags have a front pocket to put crayons in? Well yeah she has those but, she adds a flap to it to protect the crayons, which is also brilliant idea too. Here is my favorite crayon tote bag she has up in her store. If I was a five year old boy, I'd be in love with it. NO joke.

You have to say that this is adorable. You see the brown robots on the front? Well that's the flap that I was talking about. Now she also sells crayon aprons and PDF patterns for some of her items. So I'd like to say thanks for reading this featured store make sure you check Katie out. I have a link in the store title that you can click on, it's easier access for y'all. Keep up the good work Katie.

Featured Etsy Store

Today's Featured Etsy store is Shining stars boutique, she makes adorable hair bows. From the basic hair bow to felt characters. Everything she makes is to DIE for, I'm not even kidding. Her prices are very good to, good for those on budgets and those not on budgets. I feel like she puts a lot of time and effort into putting these little items together, and on top of that she's also a stay at home mom of 2. Besides the point, this wonderful women has over 800 items and has been open since 2008, making 3341 sales a YEAR. That's more than what I think I could even handle. Are you guys looking for cute July 4th hair items?

Cute Hey? She has so many other patriotic items in her store too! Not sold yet? That's okay here's another few things from her store.

Aren't these just to DIE for? They're to cute. Tell me your thoughts. I just love the colors she uses, they add color to any outfit. Check out her store here

I posted recently on an etsy team that I'm looking for people to promote. Within one day I had over 80 people. I have gotten about half or so done.

I will be adding one item a comment and a banner.

Baby onesie

I've decided I haven't been really true to myself when I say yes I'll feature your store, or yes I'll do this so your views ge

t higher and you make more sales, well today all that is going to change. I'm going to stick to what I said, I'll feature more stores and make new treasuries with new open store with items I like. Today I have found a lady from my etsy teams that would like to be featured. Her name is Ellen and she has a really cute kid store called oKiddo. She lives in New Zealand and has three kids. One of the many good things about oKiddo is that you can buy pieces separately or in bundles which make nice for presents for newborns to toddlers. Her store contains 89 beautiful items, from gift baskets all the way to things for mom. Her most popular item is the baby taggy dummy blanket. Their not your regular type of tag blankets. They have a really cool shape to them. They look like this. The photo in the right upper corner. You can also get some really cute and afforable clothing too!!! She has really cute onesies for just $10.00. So make sure you check out here store. I will attach a link so you can visit her store, and hopefully she will get some views. (She did give me permission to feature her items)

Tutorial on how to make a Contour Burp Cloth

                         How to make a contour burp cloth
I've been looking around on etsy.com and I noticed that burp cloths are selling like crazy, and then I had a thought, "hey I could make those". So I looked around at other blogs and had no luck looking for what I wanted. So I made myself a pattern and I decided that I can share the process of making one. (There really easy to make) If you can't sew and want one you can see them in my store real soon. 

                                                                Materials

• Flannel fabric, or terry cloth and cotton fabric. You won't need much
• Dosew (tracing paper for fabric) or you can use easel paper like I did (this is for your pattern)
• Batting (Optional)
• Sewing essentials (sewing machine, scissors, thread, etc.)

                       Once you gather your supplies your going to have to make a pattern for your burp cloth. I free handed mine

This is my pattern, it's 18" long and it's 8 1/2" at the widest and 6 1/2" the thinnest. 

Once you get your pattern the way that you want it too, trace the pattern onto dusew or keep it on paper. Pin pattern and cut

Once you get 2 pieces cut out, pin wrong sides together(if using batting it goes fabric fabric batting)

My scrap piece

Once pinned use a 1/4" seam alowence don't forget to leave an opening

Clip corners before you turn over

once flipped press.

Open up the burp cloth using the opening that you have

To top stitch I used a pink that matches.

Once you've top stitched this is how it will look.
