Wow!

I have some extremely awesome customers! I just have to say thank you. I have been so busy lately. I can hardly keep up. I think you all have been telling your friends. I appreciate that!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much but I just want you to know that I am still here and my lack of blogging doesn't signify my lack of making blankets at all. It's actually the opposite!

I am really enjoying all of the creative ways that everyone is putting their blankets together. It makes my job much more fun & exciting and they look awesome, too! Keep them coming!

Vacation Time

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I will be out of town from May 28th through June 6th. Great Grandma is turning 95, bless her heart. I'll be heading out of state for her birthday party and a much needed vacation.
I have to keep the machines happy too so they will perform at their best. They are hitting the "embroidery spa" for tune ups and upgrades while I am away.
When I get back, the machines and I will be better than new and ready to work for you.
Feel free to order while I am away. As usual, I will be available by email and will be ready to tackle your orders when I return.

It's genius, I tell you! Problem Solved!

I've received a few emails lately that troubled me. Fabrics that were there a few days earlier were sold out when customers were ready to order. Yikes! Our fabrics are purchased in small quantities to make sure that your neighbor doesn't wind up with the same blanket as you. Eww! You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?!

I've been thinking about this and thinking some more. You see, I'm a problem solver, a people pleaser to a fault (well -almost).

You will be excited to know that you can now RESERVE your blanket. If you are visiting today and see a fabric that you love and know that your sister Sue will be delivering sweet niece or nephew in the next month or two you can order a blanket as usual and I will hold the fabrics for you. When Nephew Nicholas or Niece Nycole is born just drop me an email with what you would like embroidered on the blanket. I'll get to work on it straight away!
You get to give the gift that you want (your first choice, numero uno, the best of the best) and I'm a happy camper because I've made you, sister and sweet baby happy as well.

Along with reserving a blankie, our newer fabrics are being purchased in higher quantities so they will stick around just a little longer than usual.

RESERVE your blankie today!

The Secret Is Out! We've Gone For The Gold!

I'm spilling my guts! I have been working extremely hard lately on a big secret. Today is the day that I must let the cat out of the bag.

This weekend BibsandBurpCloths.com , BaaBaaBlankies sister site, gifted lots of A-list celebrities at the Golden Globe Awards 2008 gift suite with baby bibs. Special people require special attention so this bib got lots of it. The gold appliqué star was hand drawn by Lori Boyd of ByLoriDesigns.com making it one of a kind. We sought after the perfect font and found the perfect shiny gold fabric and thread. And decided that "A Star is Born!"


Now, for a limited time, you can purchase this same special edition baby bib for yourself, your friends, family, coworkers, etc..

Here's the special link just for my blog readers.

Order your Golden Globe Special Edition Bib now.

Soon it will be all over the front page.

Also, all apron colors are back in stock. Have a birthday coming up and don't know what gift to buy? A personalized apron is perfect for anyone! Even if they don't cook, they can use it to clean, craft, or just look like they've been working hard. ::Wink-Wink::

In other news.. I know you're probably waiting to hear what the BIG story is. You'll have to wait though. I'll give you a sneak peak on Sunday. I'm SO excited!

A New Year and New Surprises

I hope you've all had a magical holiday season. New Year's is always nice for me because we can clear out 2007 and move on to a bigger and hopefully brighter time.
BaaBaaBlankies.com has a few great surprises on the way. I'll tell you about a few.

First of all, I will be adding at least 11 new blankie flannel fabrics to the store. Ranging from camo jeeps to dreamy stars. One of them should match nicely with the Zanzibar patterned baby bedding that is ever so popular.

Next, in case you haven't noticed, a new blankie size was added to the collection. The snuggle blankie, soon to be named Incublankie, is perfect for preemies. You can lay this blanket over an incubator in the hospital, hang it over the side of a warming bed or lay it over baby's delicate eyes so the light isn't constantly shining in them. These can be personalized as well so mom and dad will be proud to display that this is their precious baby. It's the perfect size for a security blanket too. Toddlers can bring it anywhere with out tripping all over a bigger blanket. Add ribbon loops or a binky holder for the highest level of security.

The last secret has to be kept a secret for a little while longer. I have big news planned for later in January. Check back often to see what it is.
Until then, I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year!
