Shop Announcement 6.13.12

Hey All! :-) 

I wanted to make an important announcement to let all of you know that I will be closing my shop down from...

**September 1st until about mid October**

  

Our little family is making a BIG move on Sept 30th and I'll need to dedicate a lot of time to getting ready for it. 

  

If any of you were hoping to place an order with me or make a purchase around that time, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. Try to get your orders in before Sept 1st if you can because even though I may be opening my shop back up in October, it may be a little while longer after that before I start taking custom orders again. 

Please don't ever hesitate to ask any questions by contacting me on my Facebook page or emailing me at madewithlovebycaty.etsy.com

I can't thank you all enough (I know, I say it A LOT, but seriously) for all the support you have given me. I love what I do because all of you love what I make, so one more time....

THANK YOU!!! :-)

I'm calling upon my fans and followers to please give me some feedback! Do you like the list of the three potential items I'd like to add? Is there anything that's not on any of these lists that you'd like to see me add to my shop??

{New Items! 1.25.2012}

Hey All!

I know I haven't been posting too many new items lately due to some big orders I'm working on, but I was able to steal away a moment to get a couple items made for all of you! :-)

{Big Hopes and Dreams for 2012}

Hello to all of my lovely fans and followers! 

**HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE**

I hope that all of you have some fun and relaxing plans with your families or friends this evening to celebrate the upcoming new year!!

I apologize for it being so quiet on the blog lately but I'm sure all of you can relate when I say that that holidays can turn into a completely crazy time and needless to say, the "social networking" aspect of my business has suffered a little bit. 

No worries! With the start of 2012 coming up I'm really hoping to get aggressive with my sewing projects and hopefully start adding a little more variety of products to my shop!! Not only do I want to try to add more mother/baby items to my shop inventory but I almost want to start adding some miscellaneous ones such as quilted coasters, sewing machine covers, and more! :-) We'll see though...everything is still in the works.

After all the holiday madness settled down I was able to find a little time to do some sewing projects for myself and one of the big projects that I've been working on recently was quite a HUGE success for me! I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but with my 8 years of sewing experience, I have not ONCE sewed a zipper to any garment....I know, you can gasp, it's shocking for me to put it into perspective like that but I was SO intimidated by the idea of working with a zipper, and I honestly have no clue why! haha!

With that said, I'm VERY excited to say that I have conquered that "fear" and made my very first item that required a zipper and here it is...

A sleep sack with a matching hat! Isn't it just ADORABLE?!

This is just one of the things that I would love to add to my inventory this coming year.

I REALLY look forward to working with all of you during this new year and your continued support means so much to me! I see amazing things happening at Made With Love by Caty for 2012 and everything I do is inspired by all of my fans!

Much Love!

Caty

Christmas Themed Items on SALE Now!

With Christmas approaching in just DAYS, I figured I would go ahead and discount my holiday stuff!! Just head on over to my Etsy shop at www.madewithlovebycaty.etsy.com and check out the "SALE" section. 

Holiday booties have been marked down to $10.00 each and the one Newborn Santa hat that I have has been marked down to $10.00! :-) 

I also have a new section in my shop titled "New Items" where I've listed a few things I was able to get finished before the holiday craziness started! I hoping to get a lot more listed once the holiday madness slows down :-) 

I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of my loyal fans and customers! I'm truly grateful for your ongoing support and my little shop wouldn't be where it is today without all of you! For those of you that are constantly helping me get my name out there...THANK YOU! If you're a fan of my Facebook page, I'd like to thank you for tolerating my news feed clogging posts ;-) I just get so anxious to share everything with you all and I appreciate it more than you know!

I'm excited to say that I get to start 2012 with 600+ fans on my page and I hope to hit 1000 over this next year! (Wouldn't that be something?!) I have a huge giveaway that you can see HERE that I will launch once I hit 1000 fans on my Facebook page and 50 sales (currently at 44 sales) in my Etsy shop.

I wish all of you and your families a VERY Merry Christmas and a GREAT 2012!

With Much Love,

Caty
