Getting things ready

I have been working hard over the past two months creating and making for my new Etsy shop. It has been very exciting and my husband has been getting a bit overwhelmed by the amount of things I have been planning to make! Suddenly I have an excuse for trying out new materials. It's great....they are for my Etsy shop after all!
So, the plan has been to use sustainable or recycled materials wherever possible. I am loving bamboo fabric and wool at the moment and have been trying out a variety to see what works best. So far it has to be the organic bamboo veour. It is so luxuriously squishy and takes dye wonderfully. It is also super easy to care for (just wash & dry on a medium heat) which is a huge bonus.
I have also been enjoying felting wool sweaters from Goodwill and turning them into hats and boots. Lots of fun!
Check out the shop at www.kiddiwinks.etsy.com and let me know what you think.
Thanks
