Exciting things!!!

Most exciting!! I found some of the right keywords/tags and people are actually finding my blankets now via search!!! This has been a lot of work in the making and I am super proud of it! 

Then today I was invited to come display my blankets at a home show at the fairgrounds!!! I'm excited! And nervous! But I cannot say no to no risk adventures! :-)

Also! I have some better plans for more inventory!! And my tags came in to sew on the blankets so people know who made them!!! AND I have new business cards and banners coming very soon!!! 
Things keep getting better and better!!

I hope you're having a lovely day too!!!

Goodnight!!

Starting a business is exciting!

Today was spent promoting my business on Etsy and Twitter! And it went well!!! I got almost 50 shop views today! That was really motivating! :-)
I think I am going to get the hang of this blogging thing. I have a few pictures taken of the two quilts I have made for my son! I'll post them soon!  
He had a lot of fun running Around and under the blankets while I was trying to hold still. Toddlers are awesome like that. 
I also did some updating on the blog layout! I like it better! I hope you do too!!
Check out the links to all my social media and my etsy shop!! :-)
I hope you all had a wonderful day!! Thanks for visiting! I'll be back soon!

About Me

Hi!

Here's my introductory get to know me post!!!

My name is Kellie! I am 28 years old. I've been married to my wonderful husband for 5 years next week! We have a beautiful son who inspires me every day. His nickname online is TinyGiant or TG, thus the name for my blog, and business!! 

I graduated with my bachelor degree in psychology in 2010. When TG came into my life I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with him.  We have gone on a lot of odd babysitting jobs, but mostly we just play. Now that he is almost 2.5 he spends a little more time entertaining himself which has allowed me to do more things that I enjoy, like reading, playing videogames, and making blankets. 

I discovered I really like quilting over the past few years. More-so since I started making baby blankets.  But in college I made a giant king sized jean quilt with my wonderful grandmother. And then I made more of the second "clothes" quilt, it had khakis and jeans and tshirts.  The third jean quilt I made was for my son on his first birthday. That was the first blanket I actually knew enough about to do most of it by myself.  It's been a fun journey!  I really enjoy picking out fabrics and seeing what goes well together.  

I opened up my shop, TinyGiantDesign.Etsy.com on Valentines day this year, so it's been running for two weeks now!! I'm very excited. I'm working on adding to my inventory. I'm working on ideas for what to sell in addition to baby/toddler blankets. I enjoy making custom orders in addition to what I have listed for sale... so if you have a need for cute baby/toddler blankets, let me know!!

Here's TG's first birthday jean quilt:


And here is the quilt that I made for him for Christmas 2014 which sort of pushed me to decide to start a business. I really liked that I could make it as loud or as soft as I wanted and that 7 strips was kind of the perfect size for a baby and toddler quilt. TG really likes to drive his cars and trains on the "roads".  This quilt was actually inspired by a project my friend did for her husband:

That's about it for now I think.
