My WAHM Adventure

Hello, In April 2010 I decided to start my own home-based business making handmade hats for small children. Two years, two Etsy shops and 400 sales later, I am feeling awesome! What started as a small idea has turned out to be more successful that I ever expected. Surprisingly, the satisfaction I get in making something I love, has been the true "success" of this whole adventure.

New Product Launch - Baby Booties!

These have been a long time coming.  Starting working on some "prototypes" about 3 months ago and ended up liking this pattern the most but still didn't have the motivation to get them listed.   

Until.......

A fellower WBer, whom I had sent a free pair to so that I can hear what she thought about them, PM'd me asking when I was going to add them to my shop, as she wanted another pair!  This PM was my motivation to get this new product listed.  If this person follows this blog, you know who you are and THANK YOU!

My new product is crocheted baby booties.  They come in a wide range of colors; all bright and cheery!  Available in two sizes 0-3 months (3 1/2") and 3-6 months (4").




Have a good day!
