Meet Shannon from Gillyweeds

Hi!  My name is Shannon Gilbride, and I'm the wahm behind Gillyweeds.  I am a busy mom of six, who loves to crochet, knit, and scrapbook.  My love of these things led me to open my shop on Etsy.  I make hand knitted and crocheted children's clothing, diapering woolens, and other items.  I offer hand made greeting cards for all occasions, as well as the Gillyweeds Bottoms Up Crocheted soaker pattern.

This is my first time participating in the shower, and I'm very excited to be a part of it!  For the baby shower, I crocheted a wool soaker and hat, perfect for a newborn.  Wool makes a wonderful, naturally breathable and waterproof barrier, keeping baby cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.  It is naturally antiseptic, meaning it only needs washing when it is visibly soiled, saving on laundry!  Diaper covers and clothing made of wool keep baby dry, and can be used over cloth diapers, as well as disposable. 

You can find Gillyweeds at http://www.etsy.com/shop/gillyweeds, http://www.hyenacart.com/gillyweeds, and on Facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/gillyweeds.   Check out the Etsy HC Street Team blog I am a member of as well, for some other wonderful wahms who have both Etsy and Hyenacart shops: http://etsyhcteam.blogspot.com/

I am taking a short summer break, but I will be using my Facebook page to announce my Fall specials.  Please connect with Gillyweeds today!

Meet Cindy from Embroidery By Cindy

My name is Cindy and I'm mom to a 3 year-old daughter and am expecting a baby in December.  A few years ago I got an embroidery machine so that I could make cute shirts and things for my daughter.  Soon I was getting requests to make things for her little friends.  Last year I expanded my business to Etsy and Facebook and became a member of EtsyKids.

Embroidery By Cindy offers personalized embroidered and appliqued items for babies and children, including birthday shirts, sibling sets, and
 monogrammed bodysuits and baby bloomers.  I have many designs and fonts available, and love creating custom items.











This is the second Etsy Baby Shower that I have participated in.  This season I donated an applique whale  bodysuit.

Meet Cortney from Cort's Things

Hi! I am Cortney from Cort’s Things. I am a stay at home mom of 2 and I started making things for my 9 year old daughter because I have a hard time finding things I like for her. Soon people started asking me to make things for them and I eventually decided to open a shop. I plan on adding lots of new things this year and I am very excited to grow and expand my shop.

I donated a bib to 2 expecting moms for this baby shower. I love my bibs because they are soft and reversible which means you actually get 2 bibs in 1.

Meet Kristen from Banana Bottoms Cloth Diapers

Hi, I’m Kristen from Banana Bottoms Cloth Diapers.  I am a SAHM to 4 children and got started making cloth diapers when my oldest was born.  I love to use bamboo and organic cotton fabrics and find these to be a fantastic fabric choice for cloth diapering. I have started offering cloth training pants, which are a big hit and have recently added organic blankets and burp cloths and eco friendly cloth play scenes for the bigger kids. 

This is my second time participating in the Etsy Baby Shower and this time around I donated a burp cloth made from Cloud9’s organic cotton ‘Meadow’ print. It is generously sized at approximately 10” by 15” and can even serve as a changing pad in a pinch.  It is backed with a thick and soft certified organic cotton flannel making this a perfect addition to an eco-friendly layette. 

I am looking forward to expanding my organic layette selections, as well as expanding my natural and eco-friendly toys collection, in time for the holiday season.

Through the end of July, my organic blankets and burp cloths are on sale.

Meet Darlene from Darcey Lane Designs

Hi, I'm Darlene from  Darcey Lane Designs.  I’m a SAHW, who watches her grandsons (Joey 2 ½ and Tyler 1) during the week.  I have two granddaughters  Jordyn 4 and Madyson  1.  I have a great husband.  My passion is sewing for kids, but that doesn't stop me there,  I also do interior sewing like window treatments, pillows and table runners.

 I have been sewing  and selling online for almost 4 years.  I started out making birthday  dress/ outfits for little girls and some boys.  I let the parents tell me what they want (color, theme etc.) and we go from there.  This has been my biggest seller.  I want to start selling more dresses and outfits.

This is the first time I have participated in the Etsy baby Shower.  I gave gifts to two babies, a boy and a girl.  I made a bath towel and with his name on it for the boy.  For the little girl, I made a pair of pink Sassy Ruffle Bloomers.  Every little girl needs some ruffles.

I will be participating  in a sale with GA Etsy team  in June but don’t know the date as yet.  But I will give a discount to anyone reading this blog, be sure to mention “baby shower” while checking out.

Meet Melissa from Sqrl & Bee Studio

My name is Melissa and I'm the Sqrl of Sqrl & Bee Studio! I'm a graphic designer (I love doing custom birth announcements!) and fiber artist. And I love doing both equally. I got to participate as both a giver and a receiver here with the Etsy Baby shower. Since I'm due first with my first baby in July - it's a girl!  And it's been a lot of fun. Here in the studio we make all kinds of things but I mostly work in fiber - wool mostly.Bright colors, simple forms, and adorable faces simply popped out of the wool and felting needles right into my hands! They are made from sustainably farmed wool and colored with non-toxic dyes — so they are friendly to both kids and the environment. I would have to say my best selling product would be my mobiles.
