Blankets and Onesies and Bibs - OH MY!

I'm waist deep in fabric right now and barely able to sit down to type this post.

I'll be selling my wares at the Ottawa Artisans Guild West End Market.
Details: Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre (Greenview Ave at Britannia Park)
Friday, November 27th (6-9 pm) and Saturday the 28th (10-4 pm).

Another exciting development is that I now can accept credit card payments - yay! Just email me or call (613-747-6871) to start the process.


Here are some examples of what I'll be selling.






This is a cotton baby blanket that's about 1 meter square with a undyed flannel backing and handstitched the way your grandma used to! (they'll be selling for $50)




This baby onesie is hand embellished with a cotton fabric in the shape of a tie for your little man. I now have long sleeved ones as well for our cold winters. (sizes: 6m, 12m, 18m - $20)

Workin' for the Workshop


If anyone is down on the Byward Market, head over to Dalhousie street and check out the Workshop Boutique. They are a funky local shop run by two enthusiastic women who are really committed to supporting local artisans.

If you're in the market for something unique for yourself or your little one, this is a delightful place to shop.

This morning I dropped off 4 of my baby onesies embellished with big business ties and hope that you manage to get down there to check them out. I am paid only when they are sold, so I really (I mean really) appreciate your support!

thanks kids,
Karen

ONESIES for sale


Remember these tshirts from when you were a kid?
My onesies are reminiscent of those now cool retro t's of the 70's.



I am taking orders for onesies now.

If you would like a shape other than the man's tie, just send me an email or call me and we can work it out. Stars are nice as well as hearts or a lightening bolt.

I had a suggestion from someone on Saturday night that I make dad/kid combo packs. Not sure if they make onesies big enough for dad but would love to make a tshirt for a dad to match a onesie. FUN!

If you want it to be be organic cotton, that can easily be done. If you don't need it to be organic, that can also happen really easily. The cost of a onesie is only $19.95 and I'll have to work out the cost of a combo pack when I do a bit of research on the tshirts.

I need at least 3 days to get the onesie, embellish it and get it to you.

Looking forward to working with you.

Onesies





Here are examples of the onesies I embellish.

These particular ones are being sold at Chick Pea Boutique on Wellington Street (near Island Park Drive). The garment is made of 100% organic cotton and the embellishment is made of 100% cotton.

It seems that the business tie shape is what people have wanted most so far, but I am open to suggestions. If you would like to order one, email me (knuffelkids@hotmail.com) or call (613-747-6871) and we'll get started.


Enjoy!

AAAAAAAA I've got so many blankets and onsies on the go!!!

Hello All,

Thought I'd bring you up to date with happenings in my life. I've sold a bunch of blankets and reports say that babies are happy all over the place and parents are happy to have something hip around their precious little ones.

I have been asked to make a throw for an adult!! go figure, they get chilly too!

Another thing that I'm really excited about is the little onesies and t's I've been adorning with my own creative whim. I've sold 5 already!!

We're buckling and buying a new digital camera this weekend so I can publish photos of everything and hope that I get some great feedback.

Karen
