Etsy Shop Feature: Bundle of Joy Shop
I love baby items so I was so excited to find
Tell me a little bit about yourself
I want to thank Amanda for giving me and other Etsy shop owners this wonderful opportunity by featuring us in her blog!
My name is Cheryl and I am the owner of Bundle Of Joy Shop. My husband and I live in north central Wisconsin, where it has even snowed in May! With our wonderful children making lives of their own, my husband and I decided to start crossing things off our bucket lists. I have many hobbies that I enjoy. A few of them are crocheting, paper crafts, needlework, gardening and baking. When my Mom taught me how to crochet, I was instantly hooked. I have crocheted items for wedding presents, baby showers and various charities. It would be wonderful to have my shop as my full time job. That goal has been added to my bucket list.
How did you get into making baby item? How long have you been doing it?
With my children on their own, I found I had the time to turn my love for crocheting into a business. I decided to focus on items for babies/children. Bundle Of Joy Shop has been open since January 2012.
How long does it take to make a hat? Blanket, etc. ?
I have many projects going at once, so depending on my situation I may crochet for awhile and then do something else. My custom orders are always my top priority. That is why I don't have an exact length of time it takes for me to complete my items.
Shrinkage of an item depends on what it is made from and how it is washed and dried. Items made from acrylic should be hand washed and air dried or washed on a gentle cycle in cold water and dried on air fluff. They should never be over dried. Items made from cotton may have some shrinkage. They should be hand washed and air dry. Care should be taken with the cleaning of every item.
What is your best selling item?
Hats are my best selling item.
Do you have any advice for someone wanting to start their own business?
Do it! You will never know if you will succeed unless you try!
Never give up on your dreams! I have always wanted to sell my handmade items and having a shop on Etsy has given me that opportunity. Owning Bundle Of Joy Shop is hard work that is a great deal of fun!

I want to thank Cheryl for taking time out of her busy schedule to answer a few of our questions. Please stop by her shop and take a look!

Shop Review: Bunnies & Buggies Bath Boutique
I LOVE bath items so when Bunnies and Buggies wanted me to do a review I was all for it!
They sent me a sample of Japanese Cherry Blossom Goats Milk Soap, Lemon Meringue Pie Soap, Viva La Juicy (type) whipped soap, Seaside Escape whipped soap, Sweet Pea lotion and Vanilla Cupcake lotion.
This soap smells so good and lathers really well. It did not dry my skin out and left it smelling so good! This was my favorite one!
Lemon Meringue Pie Glycerin Soap
This soap smelled like "candy" as my little girl put it. She loved it in her bath and lathered it really well also.
I love anything Juicy and this stuff smells amazing! I loved the texture of the product and really liked the thickness. I used it as a shaving cream...worked great!
This I loved also! The smell was so peaceful and clean...I just stood and sniffed the soap for awhile when I got it because I loved the smell ;) My skin really enjoyed these!
I love sweet pea so I was excited to see this in my samples. The lotion is not too thick or too thin but just right! And the smell stays on all day.
Vanilla Cupcake Lotion (no picture)
This lotion was so good. My little girl said I smelled like cookies when I wore it. In fact she wanted to put it on after her bath! Neither soap left my skin feeling greasy which is always a plus in my book!
Bunnies & Buggies has a wide variety of items including scrubs, perfumes, lip balms and MORE! I saw some stuff I am going to have to try like the Crazy for Coconut Lotion and the Summer Watermelon Lip Balm!
Make sure to stop by their Etsy shop, here, and check out all the great handmade products.
