Getting Giddy With It

Okay, I got giddy making these blankies... Is that bad? They're just so precious!



Monday, I was fortunate enough to have two kids who patiently played in Birch Fabrics in Paso Robles, CA while I drooled over their amazing selection of fabrics and picked out the most adorable prints for blankies, birds, and butterflies. Here are a few - some oldies but goodies, some newly printed fabrics, and some new organic fabrics.

I wish the blankies were going up on my website but they're actually heading out to Silver Seahorse in Morro Bay, CA. [Revision... I take that back: I couldn't help it so I made some more and they're on the website. Order up!] If you like what you see though, shoot me a line and let me know. I'm happy to make a custom order for you (no extra charge). 

Some day, hopefully soon, I'll have time to catch up on orders and get more inventory up on my website. That might not be until after the next Stitch Market on December 2nd though. Oh yeah, there's another one coming up! (Yes, the website says Dec 1st but it's been moved to the 2nd.)

Happy Hump Day,

Give me an O-R-G-A-N-I-C!

First, many, many thanks to all who came out and enjoyed the Holiday Hoopla. A fantastic number of people came out - We were blown away. 

Thursday night was full of tasty appetizers, sips of vino, shopping, laughing, and relaxing. Friday morning brought on some serious shoppers and inventory disappeared right before our eyes. We ate, laughed, shopped, chatted, sipped, browsed, and met new friends. You've just got to come next time.

I was incredibly flattered by all of the support and interest in Cookie+Curly products - Thank you! The birds were a hit and many additional orders were placed, the butterflies sold out, and the blanket/blankie sets found loving arms in which to go home.

That brings me to what debuted at the Holiday Hoopla...

Cookie+Curly's ORGANIC blankets and blankies! Yes, they're here! 100% certified organic cotton printed with AZO free dyes, organic cotton sherpa (the luxuriously soft, cuddly fabric on the back), AND organic cotton ribbon on the blankies.

Organic Circa 50 Rockets Blanket/Blankie Set
Organic Monaco Birds Blanket/Blankie Set
I snuck them onto the website on Friday and have already heard back from a few of you. I'm so glad you like them! I started with two prints to feel everyone out and there's definitely an interest so more prints are on their way.

Please drop me a line with thoughts, suggestions, feedback, etc. I love hearing from you.

Many well wishes to all. I've got to get back to work!

Rather Flutter Than Tweet?

Remember when I mentioned that my creativity got the best of me and I came up with a new product? Well, here it is! Introducing, Butterflies by Cookie+Curly:


Each butterfly on these mobiles are handcrafted and hand-strung from real wood with clear string so that they appear to be floating. The unique design of the butterflies and their positioning captivate a child's imagination as they dance with the slightest breeze making them a great choice for near a window or right above a crib. One can't help but be drawn in and mesmerized by their subtle movements. Just imagine...


Butterflies are made of insulated wire and cotton fabric. Wood rods are held together by satin ribbon. Each mobile comes with a hook for hanging.





Mobile measurements: 20" x 20". Butterflies: approximately 3.5"x3.5".

Custom orders welcome. More Butterfly (and Bird) Mobiles to be posted on Cookie+Curly's website next week. They will be sold at the Holiday Hoopla as well.

What do you think? Do you like to Flutter with C+C Butterflies or Tweet with C+C Birds?
