First Etsy Treasury

Today I made my first Etsy Treasury on Treasury East. I loved it! Of course since it was my first, I had to make it about babies :P Tell me what you think! Here it is:

Etsy Feature

A month or two ago I came across someone on the forums who is super sweet and sells photo props like I do! I absolutely love the things she sells and they look very well made. Her name is CountryKnitCocoon on Etsy. She also sells on Zibbet: CountryKnitCocoon. Here are a few pictures of my favorite items from her shop:

Check her out! :]

On a side note: Today I will be making all my items inactive in my Etsy store until I come back from vacation on June 2nd. If you have a custom order, please contact me or email me at lovebycc@yahoo.com and I will see what I can do!

New Baby Items and Styles!

Here I am, lagging again on my blogging. I am terrible at this but the good news is that I have been TOO busy to blog! I have been getting orders everyday. I have also been working on new designs in between working on orders :] I have a wonderful friend and customer, Jennifer, who has been helping me pick out new designs and has been photographing them for me!

Here are a few of my new designs that should have photos to come in the near future.

This hat is called the "Tough Boy Hat"

Loose Egg Cocoon with Simple Beanie and Coconut Button

Pea in a Pod Cocoon

Here are a few designs that are in my shop already and Jennifer took wonderful photos for me:

Simple Beanie with Button

Stork Pouch

Baby Hammock

New Baby Hat Styles

I have finally gotten done a few things I am sending a photographer in Australia. She contacted me and has about 6-8 babies a week to photograph! This makes me so happy because that means I will get my pictures done faster! I love love love getting photos back from photographers.

Anyways, I have been working on a bunch of Merino stuff to send her. Here are a few pictures.

This specific hat was inspired by a picture someone sent me of a baby wearing a gorgeous beanie with a rose and a feather. I had ordered this colorful Merino yarn from a wonderful Etsy seller and decided to use this. I attached a pink fabric rose and a marabou feather to a alligator clip so it could be taken off and put back on if needed for any reason. I just love love love this and I can't wait to see photos of it when it is on a baby!

This is a boy beanie I made out of Merino yarn I got from another wonderful Etsy seller. I love Etsy :] I had this Merino yarn called "Sky Blue Marshmallow" and the cream so I decided to put them together. It came out look really well, I think. I can't wait to see this one a baby as well!


I also made a brim hat and diaper cover set in a light pink with a cream outlining the hat and the diaper cover. It ended up turning out really well. I used 100% organic cotton yarn because I have realized that a lot of people love the organic and cotton as well. It also ended up being really soft and I didn't notice the difference until I went back to crocheting with the acrylic!

Baby Hats, Photography Props, Newborns, Ohmy!

I am so lucky to have such wonderful photographers to photograph my hats on these gorgeous babies! I absolutely love the Newborn Brim Hat that I make and I finally have a picture of it!!!

I think my favorite part of making an item is getting a photo back from it. The photos of the babies wearing the items I made is just priceless to me. So thanks to all the photographers that send me photos!

Happy Easter and Blog Giveaway Winner

First of all I want to wish everyone a...

I hope everyone has a great day with families, food, and fun today :] Be safe!

Now to the part everyone has been waiting for...

....REBECCA! She said I should name my new shop "Love By CC All Grown Up" and I really love the idea of that. I got to thinking and I thought it would be great for people to be able to search "LoveByCC" and get both of my shops because they both will start with that.

So Rebecca, you get to choose which color double pom pom hat you would like! Please send me an email at lovebycc@yahoo.com with the color and your address!

Look out for my new shop coming on Etsy with the name Love By CC All Grown Up :]

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Baby Pom Pom Hat Giveaway

I am in a bit of a dilemma! I really want to open a second shop that has my adult hats and items in it so that they aren't combined with my baby items. I think they would get more exposure that way. However, I can't come up with a name!

So, I am going to do a giveaway to figure out my new shop name! Here is how you get entered into my giveaway:

All you need to do is: Post a comment here with a name for my new shop!

I would like a name that is similar to LoveByCC so that people will know it is me.

Here are two pictures of the Baby Pom Pom Hat:

I do have different colors as well, so if you win, you get to choose the color!

The giveaway will end in a week from today on April 3rd or when I find the perfect name! Thanks for all who participate :]

Lovebycc now open on Etsy

This week has been so incredibly busy. I really wanted to start my Etsy shop and I thought I'd be okay to do that so I ended up listing three items on the 10th (Sunday). I didn't realize (until someone on the forums told me) that three items is NOTHING, it is not even a shop. Here are the items:

A purse:


A red neck warmer:


A white neck warmer:


So I started to work on more items until I got a conversation from someone. A PHOTOGRAPHER. She said that if I make her baby items, that she will get model babies and take free pictures for me (of course she is going to buy the first items so I know it isn't a scam). I was sooooo excited that I busted out my hook and yarn, got some patterns, and went to work. This is what I've been doing the last few days:






She got the first two hats yesterday and has a photo shoot on Wednesday with a baby. Hopefully she will get the other two things by then so she can use them all. I can't wait to see the photos!

In the meantime, I am working on an adorable red purse. I hope to have it done by this weekend so I can post it. I need to make a few other things. I was thinking about a hat, some fingerless gloves, and maybe another neckwarmer (but a different kind). I NEED TO MAKE MYSELF A STORE! :P (which is more than 3 items)
