Woolly Boo™ - For Your Child's Healthy and Peaceful Sleep!

http://WoollyBoo.etsy.com


Seriously, have you ever seen the cots kids sleep on in daycare and preschool? Well, here is a photo of one.



Do you really want your child to sleep on this? This cot is made of Sof-Tex® fabric, whatever that is. See how close to the ground it is? This means that your child is breathing in all the dirt from the floor they just spent hours playing on wearing shoes. Yuk.

Anyway, give it a whirl in your head, let me know :)

Tell Me What You Think, Please!

I am considering getting a professional to photograph my products, but am not certain I can recoup the cost. Basically, I am worried that it will not increase the sales as dramatically as I would wish it to.

So, tell me what do you think... You can comment or send me an email.

I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

THEY ARE HERE!!!

My brand spanking new Sleeping Bags in Pretty In Pink and Sunshine Yellow. Check them out!

I am really excited about this line, since the fabrics are much more modern. A lot of comments I received about the Sleeping Bags were that maybe I need to offer other fabric choices, something a little less old-fashioned and not so... well... European.

So, here they are. Shop away!

Martha Stewart's Dreamers

Went on a MS's Dreamers into Doers binge this morning. I think I looked over hundreds of profiles. There are some really creative people out there. I really hope all those people I "friended" "friend" me back...

But, what struck me was the importance of logo design - if the avatar wasn't appealing, I simply wouldn't bother. Which makes me feel really lucky for having the logo I do :)

So, how is Woolly Boo returning us to tradition?

Very simply. We are going back to the age old production process our grandparents, or at least my grandparents, used to make their bedding.

The sheep is sheared, like so:


The wool is gathered and washed with cold water and white distilled vinegar. Check out this page for more info about cleaning with vinegar and its benefits: http://www.vinegartips.com/Scripts/

Wool is then air dried in a shade, like so:




To be continued tomorrow...

I Have New Photos

Yes, I do. I promise. They are all still stuck on my camera. But, with the weather being so yucky, I think today is the photo day... I think, because Julie and Julia area calling my name... By the way, if you haven't read Julia's memoir, you absolutely must. What an amazing story!
