My most popular item

I continue to make blankies. Have made over 120 of them now. 

That definitely qualifies them as my most popular item, right?

I always have some blankies made up, for urgent orders. 

I then only need to grab the blankie and make an animal to go on top!

The bunny is always popular

So are elephants

Koalas are a new favourite

Placed on different colours

Occasionally there is an order for a teddy

Puppies are much loved

 

Teddies still get ordered too!

Now that is colourful!

Blankies galore!!!

Hey there! How are you doing?

I've been clicking those knitting needles super fast lately!

Most of my work has been blankies.

In fact, I have now made over 100 of them! 

So now I am working towards my next goal of 200 blankies. I wonder how long it will take to make that many?

I have been getting orders of other products, but that is in another post! 

See you then!

Blankies are always popular!

I get regular orders for blankies, and it is easy to see why...

I have blankies of different colours available at all times,

then the customer lets me know which animal they want,

and it only takes a few hours for me to finish!

Here was an order for a new baby down in Tasmania - 

I get regular orders from a customer down there!

Blankie twins

Never done a grey bunny on a blankie before!

There are so many variations!

Back to the beginning Part 2

Betsy's Boutique really started with blankies.

I didn't expect them to be SO popular.

I love the variety there is in different colours.

And the variety of animals means it has appeal to a wider number of customers.

The 100th blankie will be free - just to celebrate! I wonder who will order it?

Black and White

Like the lions, I also took a break from making zebra blankies

but this is also an available option for your blankie

I have not made a blankie like this one before

what do YOU think of these colours?

Lovely Lion

I took a break from lion blankies

their manes are more labour intensive than I had time for

but I now have them available again!

The perfect baby toy - bright and colourful!

Blankies and more blankies

With now over 80 blankies ordered, these are definitely the most popular item at Betsy's Boutique.

Have many variations in colour and the animals available, it makes for lots of fun for me in knitting them ☺

The zebra and lion blankies are once again available, bringing the list of available designs to:

bunny, teddy, mouse, hippo, elephant, lion, zebra, lamb, koala, monkey, pig, puppy, kitten, and cow!

14 designs!!!

An Aussie Blankie

So far Lorraine Pistorio has not designed a koala blankie, but I had a customer who just HAD to have one!!!

So I did my best... Popping my koala on this pile of leaves!

Probably not the prettiest koala, but maybe with a little more practice I will perfect it ☺

I love my blankie!

I recently ran a competition on Facebook.

I was looking for pictures of a Betsy toy with its friend. 

I didn't get many responses - but those I got were fun ☺

Here is a little girl who loves her elephant blankie!!!

I love these pictures - they do a great job of selling my work ☺

More blankies at last!

It has been a while since I made any blankies...

And they were SO small in comparison to the other toys!!!!

But still wonderful gifts for a newborn!

Pretty pink bunny

This would be great for a little boy

Sweet lambie

Contact me with your order. 

On the right hand side there is a contact form - don't be shy - contact me!

☺

A fun order!

Most people only order one or two items at a time, 

so it was very exciting to get a rather large order just recently.

I am thankful it was not a rush job, because it did take a while, 

but it was fun doing such a range of items!

Variety in an order makes it very satisfying for me ☺

2016 - what a year!

2016 has been a BIG year for Betsy's Boutique!!!! 

Take a look at just a few of the adventures I have had!

Thanks to all my customers! It has been a great year - lots of learning new techniques and refining older techniques ;)

Looking forward to 2017 - so many days to try new patterns!!!!

Please contact me with YOUR order! =)

Which on, by the way, is YOUR favourite???

Recent orders fulfilled

I continue to receive orders for the blankies - here a dog requested on a candy pink blankie. 

It is great to see all the variety in these blankies =)

More hippos!!!!

I love these hippos - every time they are just so cute! 

The customer decided to get moveable limbs here - all the more fun for the little ones who will receive them! =)

And another hippo ordered for a little grand-daughter! 

This time I posed with the hippo, to give an idea of the size...

They are so cuddly!!!!

Autumn Competition Prizes

In March I had a competition on my Facebook page. Inviting my viewers to guess how many pieces of Duplo were in this tub...

To my surprise I had two ladies guess the EXACT number of blocks!

I very nearly fell off my seat! =)

There was 310 pieces - just in case you were wondering...

The prize winners could chose anything from my shop, and both (unsurprisingly) chose blankies. Being my most popular item to date, I really didn't expect anything else!

So here they are:

Yet another elephant (the most popular choice for a blankie) - now with the new improved trunk!

A lamb - one of only two produced with a special yarn, which makes it look even more like a lamb!

******************

Keep an eye out for my winter competition in June!

A rather big order!

A customer contacted me with a rather BIG order! Which kept my fingers flying for quite a few days! Fortunately I had some of the blankies pre-done, which meant it wasn't such a huge task...

 

Actually there was another lamb and another dog, but I didn't get pictures of them! Sorry...



A few smaller orders...

At times I receive orders for a couple of blankies, which is great! Especially when they are different animals... I always find that LOTS of fun!

 

 

 

These gorgeous bunny and elephant pair was for two sisters! Much loved comforters at sleep time...

 

For boy cousins - just the thing for little boys!

 

 

Another of those adorable bunnies, this time for a little girl from her grandma!

--------

Other times someone orders just one blankie for a special gift, and these are just as treasured...

 

 

A very girly elephant!

 

Those ears sold this one!

 

A precious little girl got this very bright dog on a rainbow!

 

Which was enjoyed so much, another customer ordered a teddy on a double rainbow!

 

 



More blankies

I continued to experiment with different blankies, as shown below...

 

Ellie Elephant has been super popular!

 

Here is Larry Lamb, who has also proved to be fairly popular, with many colours chosen for the blankie...

 

The monkey has not proved very popular...

 

And the pig has also not been so popular.

 

 

While the puppy has been quite popular!
