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 ☺

Wow!!!

Look at that colour!!!

This colourpillar (my new name for it) is SO bright! 

A really fun project, and although not ordered, it was snapped up by an excited buyer in no time!

I am hoping to get more orders of the colourpillar - in different colours - it would be SO much fun!

2017's big project!

It took several months between doing orders for paying customers, but I was so thankful to finish my biggest project ever in late August! 

I wanted to knit a BIG blanket for our son, one to last a lifetime, to always be a tangible reminder of his Mummy's love ☺

You can just see his cheeky face peeping over the blanket on the left there!!!

I was SO happy when I put it on his bed, and it was SO big! It is SO warm too!!!

New rattles!

When a customer asks for a toy I have a pattern for, but have not yet knitted up, I get excited ☺

Think I have mentioned that before!!!!

So let me introduce the cow rattle!

I think it looks great!! What about you?

I also got an order for a duck rattle...

That topnotch of feathers is pretty cute, right? ☺

There are still a few rattle patterns I haven't made up yet, but one day.... ☺

One of my favourite things

Some animals come out just right, 

and this happened recently 

when a new grandmother ordered a few animals...

I don't know which of those you would pick as a favourite...

but here is mine!!!!

Isn't that just the sweetest face ever?

Looks soooooooo cute!!!!

Betsy's Boutique brings happiness to more than just babies!

Some people think toys are just for kids...

But adults - particularly women seem to enjoy a cuddly friend...

Is there someone you could give a cuddly toy to? 

A lonely person who would appreciate the thought that someone cared enough to give them a gift which would warm their heart?

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

Playful puppy!

My niece loves dogs - so I found the perfect birthday gift for her this year!!!!

Isn't it cute? I wonder what she will call it?

26cm tall, and looking ready to spring into action, this is sure to be a cuddly favourite!

You can order your own - just contact me using the order form on the right, or visit my Facebook page! 

A woodland duo

A grandmother and aunt came to me 

looking for two toys that would fit a woodland theme!

They also had to fit in with the nursery colour scheme...

I think they came out beautifully!

Seen here with their 4 week old forever friend!

I am sure he will love having two friends who will stick by him through all his childhood! ☺

Such a sweetie!

I really DO enjoy working with customers to create a toy that they want!

Here is a colour scheme I wouldn't have thought of, but I think it looks great!

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 ☺
