This month I took my creations to a craft show!  My first one ever!  I was excited and nervous and hunkered down in front of the sewing machine to make sure I had enough inventory!  I took blankets, loveys, animals and a lot of little girl purses.  I think my booth was pretty cute!

Well as for sales, the show went okay – but I did learn quite a lot, and I do think it was a valuable experience.  After meeting and working with another crafter all day on Saturday I actually signed up for one more craft show this year.  So back to the sewing machine I go to replenish my lovey stock – which were the most popular item at the show!

And speaking of loveys – I really haven’t talked on the blog about my new loveys!!  These guys are the cutest!

Backstory:  My kids both have loveys – I was given a lamb Angel Dear lovey for a baby shower gift with my daughter, and since her baby room theme was monkeys (you can see pics and read more about that HERE) – I found a few more loveys with cute pink monkey heads.  For my son, I picked up 4 or 5 of the brown puppy Angel Dear blankets.  My kids pretty much can’t sleep without their loveys!!

I had been making the ribbon critters and people have been cooing over them – so I thought why couldn’t I just attach a small blanket to the ribbon critter and make it a lovey!  Thus, Ribbon Critter Loveys were born!  They have a critter head with a few ribbons/tags that the little ones love but it also has a double sided minky blanket attached to cuddle up with!  They pair great with my full size baby blankets or are a great gift by themselves too!

Here are some more lovey pics – as well as my spokesbaby loving on her personal lovey too!!
