At the end of October (or when I run out of bodysuits) I will be closing my shop for "maternity leave". Bugga #3 is due in mid-November and I anticipate being closed for November and December. I am currently taking a waiting list for custom mobiles and wood wall letters.

I have two new design schemes available for mobiles and wood wall letters.<br />
<br />
Block Party is a bright, colorful scheme featuring blue, red, green, brown, and white. I saw this scheme and immediately though that it would be perfect for airplane single flyers because of the stars on it. <br />

And for the little girls...introducing Peacock Lane! This design scheme is whimsical and fun featuring dots, stripes, and a variety of patterns in teal, deep purple and lime.<br />

I've been so busy, I've had to increase my lead time from 4-6 weeks to 5-7 weeks on custom mobiles and wood wall letters.

I was included in a design board for a moon and stars themed nursery by <a href="http://www.namesakedesign.blogspot.com/">NameSake Design</a>. I absolutely LOVE her design board (and not just because I was included)! Featured in the blog was one of my Moon and Star mobiles.

Really, we just bought them one big gift and a few stocking stuffers. The BIG gift was their kitchen set. Which I then finished myself to match our living room. We got it from <a href="http://www.willowtoys.com/">Willow Toys</a>. The quality and craftsmanship are superb. I can say a year later that this set is going to last us for many years to come despite the fact that my kids play with it daily and they're not always gentle. These toys also come with a lifetime guarantee. I consider them an investment. We got them the oven and refrigerator. There is plenty of storage space for all the kitchen accessories.<br />
<br />

Every kitchen needs play food! I found a couple of wonderful Etsy shops to fit the bill. Their felt and cotton creations have more than held up to being cooked with by my two chefs for almost a year now and look as good as new. The first seller I'd like to introduce you to is <a href="http://bugbitesplayfood.etsy.com/">BugBitesPlayFood</a> who made our vegetable set. But beyond fruits and vegetables, this seller offers an amazing and creative variety of food items for your child to play with.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrOWd_S0CfHGqEUnVfDXPUrdy1F8mqz8RBwPrSdRekAl_SfmIKb2tgkPhMQIuEkB43wo0nClzYHDSssbk6IDKzmezBVt_JmcUnOrXsweBs_K8Tb3LvxUOsjlIB2FtIZaMQKsKYP40wyk/s1600/vegetables.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtrOWd_S0CfHGqEUnVfDXPUrdy1F8mqz8RBwPrSdRekAl_SfmIKb2tgkPhMQIuEkB43wo0nClzYHDSssbk6IDKzmezBVt_JmcUnOrXsweBs_K8Tb3LvxUOsjlIB2FtIZaMQKsKYP40wyk/s320/vegetables.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
The fruits we purchased were equally fabulous. Made of felt and cotton, these fruits are colorful and very well made. We bought these from <a href="http://aebaby.etsy.com/">aebaby</a> on Etsy. AeBaby not only offers these fun food creations but sells the most adorable I Spy bags and Loveys too!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivg8DuBoIK30u7O745NFlY-u7kQa2ZZeru4LndaKEZ_KbiaAMl6GoW-V-EaXEGsm9878dgrzS74Jv0D2a1qtqe-ZsZ-kbvbQESyQiXhr-VTbY3EPpQWDikYxVAsnqO-ybYWOtA6ol1WU/s1600/fruit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhivg8DuBoIK30u7O745NFlY-u7kQa2ZZeru4LndaKEZ_KbiaAMl6GoW-V-EaXEGsm9878dgrzS74Jv0D2a1qtqe-ZsZ-kbvbQESyQiXhr-VTbY3EPpQWDikYxVAsnqO-ybYWOtA6ol1WU/s320/fruit.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
Lastly, when we finished the kitchen set, I used a magnetic paint on the refirgerator door. I wanted to have letters to stick on it, just like a real refrigerator. But down with the plastic letters! I found these letters made from felt by <a href="http://michima.etsy.com/">MiChiMa</a> on Etsy. You can get letters, numbers, names, uppercase, lowercase, you name it! These have held up well and were very colorful! The perfect finishing touch to our new kitchen!<br />

Yes, I realize that this is the 2008 edition! Sadly, we didn't do much of a Handmade Holiday this year. And those items we DID buy handmade I can't show you yet, lest the recipeint be a BuggaBlog Reader. BUT there was ONE item we had custom made for our Buggas. I'd like to introduce you to <a href="http://www.curlyqcuties.com/">CurlyQCuties</a>. The most adorable custom monsters in the world! We bought one for each bugga to stick in their stockings. They came faster then I expected and are very well made. When I asked my 3 year old what to get her brother for Christmas yesterday, she told me a monster.

All my data was able to be recovered and my computer is now fixed! I wasn't expecting to get it back until Friday at the earliest, but thankfully it was completed ahead of schedule. So, back to our regularly scheduled programming!<br />
<br />
I have a few new mobiles to list over the next couple of days, hope you'll look out for them!BuggaLovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029648540104696161noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849341570049508048.post-20244911975890587502009-11-10T22:15:00.000-05:002009-11-10T22:15:09.065-05:00We are currently experiencing technical difficultiesHello BuggaLove Readers!<br />
I am sorry to announce that my computer crashed this morning. It is currently in for repair, but while it is being fixed there will be a delay in all BuggApparel orders. Sadly, I've lost all my graphics and designs. I anticipate they will be recovered and certainly I can recreate all of those that I did not have backed up. (Note to self...back up computer more often).<br />
<br />
Please forgive any delay in my responses to you. I will have very limited computer access until I receive my computer back.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

The baby shower is still going on, we have a virtual Chat/Trunk Show in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/chat_main.php">Etsy chat rooms</a> on Thursday, November 5th from 10pm to midnight. My co-host <a href="http://decorativelabels.blogspot.com/">Deniz</a> from <a href="http://decorativelabels.etsy.com/">DecorativeLabels</a> is continuing to load the pictures of the gifts to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsybabyshower">Etsy Baby Shower Flickr Album</a>.That will wrap up the promotional activites for the Etsy Baby Shower and hopefully I'll have some time to stock up for the holidays. It was a busy October, I'm hoping this trend holds through the holiday season!<br />
<br />
Sadly, my newsletter is late this month. I intended to have it out by now, but there has not been time to do so. It is my hope that by the end of the week it will go out. It will contain an <em>exclusive</em> Black Friday through Cyber Monday coupon code that is only for my newsletter subscribers. Thanks for your patience!<br />

</div>We asked HandCreativity what advice she ahs for new moms. She said, "The best advice will be to trust themselves and follow their gut feelings. As a new mom myself, I can definitely tell them to enjoy the times cause time flies and when you notice the baby is already a couple of months old. Also do not force themselves too much, all is well that ends well!"<br />

Suzi came up with the Teething Giraffe pattern after she received something similar for a baby gift from friends. Her little one loved it, but so did her 3-year-old niece! When she asked where she could get another one, her friends told her that it had been made by their grandmother who had passed away. Suzi figured out how to make one with a few aesthetic changes and before her niece left to go home we had a herd of giraffes in the house! Check out the organic teethers! Colorgrown cotton fabric is Suzi’s new favorite material!<br />
<br />
We asked Suzi what advice she has for new moms. She says, “Hold your baby as much as possible. It really helps with the fussiness of the first 3 months. Babywearing is my favorite way to hold my babies!”<br />

She has participated in the Etsy Baby Shower several times before and Alayna always has a hard time choosing one to send, so for this shower, she’s letting the mom choose her favorite. ZadyBall gets a ringing endorsement from BuggaLove! My son LOVES his ZadyBall!<br />
<br />
Alayna’s inspiration is her children. When her oldest was a baby, he LOVED toys with strings. He had one toy in particular that had a knotted fabric string for a tail. He would play with it ALL the time, and it would help to sooth him at bed time. Alayna decided to make a toy that had lots of strings for him to play with - and that's how the Zadyball was born!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuM5IsvQn3MiPk7qGWGKqiChIVWaWAMiCmeHi5wviVXg3Y1Q5WVyVLajSxjkmedy6n-Q1T479oc6aRcY1e6JTfoE3MosxS0SOs3gDWoNEmuWnwLVfFP7uKItIbbE8L0OwiZMrjgo3w-ak/s1600-h/zadyball.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394402386551062626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuM5IsvQn3MiPk7qGWGKqiChIVWaWAMiCmeHi5wviVXg3Y1Q5WVyVLajSxjkmedy6n-Q1T479oc6aRcY1e6JTfoE3MosxS0SOs3gDWoNEmuWnwLVfFP7uKItIbbE8L0OwiZMrjgo3w-ak/s200/zadyball.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a><br />
A Zady®ball is a handmade toy that is easy for young babies to hold on to, and will quickly become a favorite! They are soft to hold and cuddle, and have lots of knotted fabric strings to grab and rub. As your baby grows, Zadyball just becomes even more fun! It is great for soothing sore gums while teething, easy to throw and catch – especially when you are learning how, and machine washable – a MUST for any baby toy! Zadyball is available in many different colors, styles and personalities. You are sure to find one that is perfect for the baby in your life!<br />
<br />
Zadyball comes in different animal versions as well. Alayna is pretty fond of Ringo the Purple Octopus, shown above.<br />
<br />
We asked Alayna if she has any advice for new moms, She says, “For first-time moms, I ALWAYS recommend reading "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and using the 5 S's method it describes. It was seriously a life saver for me! Also, while having a baby can be exhausting, frustrating and really hard, remember to enjoy the special time you have with your baby. It won't be long before they are all grown up!”<br />

<a href="http://ptitebaloue.etsy.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394403369424442610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxrm6uC3GRUx0NgTW2g0oArDihnQCeAzIbb5Cw06vWnfn6HtzOaUzNQ9iwQpW_8mJ-l0ncYSc3Tdcm4BL3rJRK8I3nVPJXyMjeNcEq08qU95XF4WCFswbIocPo9lpp8ypkncmpWRi6W3M/s400/ptitebaloue.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" />PtiteBaloue</a> joined Etsy in October last year. Curiously Isabelle convinced her boyfriend to open an Etsy shop for his photographs first, then she was a bit jealous so she opened hers too! This is her first time donating to the Etsy baby shower and one lucky baby will be getting a sweet teddy bear.<br />
<br />
Isabelle has always loved soft toys. And for years she had been knitting only scarves, so since all of her friends and family members now had at least one, if not several, of her scarves, she decided to try something a bit more challenging. Inspiration comes as she falls upon new colors / fibers / yarns and figure out what kind of animal they could turn into.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ptitebaloue.etsy.com/">PtiteBaloue</a> features knit soft toys. Some of them are vegan, made from acrylic, polyester and other non-animal fibers, but several are knitted from handspun (by Isabelle, on a drop spindle!) natural fibers and stuffed only with pure wool, which makes them entirely natural and eco-friendly. They are all unique pieces, and take a lot of time to make. Often Isabelle spends 5, 6, 7 hours on the smallest toys and even more on bigger ones. Especially when she has to spin the yarn first!<br />

You must see Elvis the Lion, shown here. He's not currently in Ptitebaloue’s Etsy shop because he's just about to spend two months in consignment at the boutique of an art galery in Quebec. But hopefully Isabelle will make him lots of brothers and sisters soon! (I’m sure if you ask her, she’d be happy to make you one!)<br />
<br />
We asked Isabelle what advice she had for new moms. She said, “mm that's a hard one since I don't have any kid of my own yet... maybe to spend as much time as they can with their children?”<br />

This is the first time Jennifer has participated in the Etsy Baby Shower and she will be donating a Jumble Ball to a lucky baby! Woodponddesigns is inspired by nature and the changing of the seasons, and by Jennifer’s children, who are always willing to help in the creative process.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://woodponddesigns.etsy.com/">Woodponddeisgns</a> is all about cute quirky fun! Jumble Balls are the bulk of their business, but Jennifer loves making all kinds of sewn items. She keeps a sketch book of design ideas and tries to stop herself from branching off in too many directions at once. When she’s not working on a new Jumble Ball, Jennifer enjoys working with felted wool, creating one of a kind plush critters. She also can't stand to throw out fabric scraps and is always looking for creative ways to use small amount of fabric, which is how she came to make drink coasters, button cover projects, passport sleeves, cute wallet purses, and mini sachets.<br />
<br />

<br />
You must see Woodponddesign’s signature product: the Jumble Ball. They are a soft, squashy lightweight toy ball designed for infants and toddlers with tons of textured ribbons and rickrack and either jingle bells or a rattle secured inside. A sensory learning toy that is brightly colored, safe, fun, and best of all, washable!<br />
<br />
We asked Jennifer what advice she has for new moms, she said, “My advice to new moms is to accept any help that is offered, don't try to do everything yourself. If a friend wants to bring you a casserole or come over and do your laundry so you can rest, say YES! It's also important to reach out and connect with other new moms, either in person or online.”<br />

<br />
We asked Amy what advice she has for new moms. She said, “Get rest! Don't live on the new motherhood speed! It feels like you can do it all- but you will crash as some point! SLEEP- who cares about the state of your house for a few months. This time will never again be with you- nothing is like the few weeks and months after your FIRST baby. I promise. The second is different. Just relax. And enjoy this time and REST!”<br />

Her inspiration for her products comes form several places. Mostly though it comes from creating things for her three grandaughters. As she shops with them she see outfits or colors that catch her eye and she usually writes it down to make something when she gets home. Also when she is at a craft store she finds ribbons or small embellishments that she thinks will make a cute bow. <a href="http://jjkgirlythings.etsy.com/">JJKGirlyThings</a> loves to browse through Etsy supplies and find things that inspire creation.<br /><br />JJKGirlythings is participating in the Etsy baby shower for the first time.
