An amazing custom order

I like custom orders, and shawls certainly are different from toys.

I have recently acquired (thanks to my birthday) some books with shawl patterns, and I am looking forward to trying lots of them out!!!

A recent winner in one of my competitions decided she didn't need any toys, but a shawl for herself was perfect....

So after lots of ummmm-ing and ahhhhhh-ing...

She chose this pattern: 

I'm not big on tassels myself, but I think they made this shawl look gorgeous!

Here is a close up of the pattern and the harmony of the colours - beautiful!

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!!!

Another Colourpillar

Colourpillars have been well received ☺

An excellent bright gift for a young child ☺

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!
