These pictures become popular to give to new moms and for birthday. When her son Ethan began to draw his pictures became the subject of her computer-generated pictures. Before she knew it other moms wanted her to 'transform' their child's artwork into professional looking, color, matted prints and her business grew and evolved into what it is today.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigcPF5OG8GPReVOp0ZCcZ8eSrdTPdv8OyGPbtYj34kbGeLLmM0RK5gKGtDghjS8fJQmXdW2ZQ5M8vDAbBuegsovWZFQXpEWP2VaHGOgtwa5ptFaLqdRKPmiHE43Fo0vw9OLzq5wZhOkg/s320/Princess+Party+Kid.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453147967607574626" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBIXjkyH4rDWyAz6ARE6T7MISdG5KBIUQuz80aHOeKNifgczUEFGRpfHLLQ-02Mj9cmXkO1HUNF9OZ0jZN3SXGKi4Fj0qmnw7GOws_PUK0iM1qZyTQBzzCHwoS8e97b90P53oDXfrC-Q/s320/Princess+Party+Drawing.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453147963441235442" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Rachel said that her children, Ethan (7 years old) and Samantha (5 years) are the inspiration for her work.

I also started a magazine at my kids' school, so I work on that as well. And I have started a magazine that goes to 5 different schools in Chicago, all based on student work, so I have to do a lot of work on that (mostly securing advertisers to keep it going). Along with these things, I teach an after school art class and am working on putting together a school cookbook, so actually Raspberrykidz isn't a huge part of my day.

Renee started sewing dresses 17 years ago when her daughter was born. Eventually her daughter outgrew handmade items and she still needed an outlet to make her dresses, so Renee went into business for herself. She has been doing craft shows for 15 years now and has been selling her items online for 10 years now.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">When asked, "What inspires your creations?"

She said that for her daughter she made everything imaginable but not as much for the boys since "... they have a way of messing things up .... hee hee..."

She responded,</div><div style="text-align: center; ">"Unfortunately my work doesn't start until I get home from my day job at 6 and then get dinner and homework with the kids. I usually answer emails, tweet and facebook on my laptop while I'm cooking dinner and helping the kiddos with homework then once they've had baths and are settled I begin. If I have orders then I fill them- I can usually make 2 - 3 pieces before midnight - but if I don't have any orders then I'll work on new designs and list [them]."</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Renee works in a makeshift hobby area, like I do myself. Hey, you don't have to have a huge studio in order to make gorgeous items and Renee proves that. Her dining room serves as her craft space. She has a cutting table in there and 12 shelves worth of fabric. Can I say fabric addiction ;) She also has a cubby holder for little things and of course her sewing machine and serger. I love to see how creative people can be with their sewing and crafting areas. I know having a small space can make you get very creative storing your items.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Renee loves to listen to her ipod full of 80s tunes and the Beatles while getting into the creative mood. She says that "... 80s tunes and the Beatles are the best sewing music - hands down." She says that she is very impulsive when it comes to creating. When she gets an idea she has to play with it on paper and jump up and try it out. When an idea comes she has to work on it right then even if it is first thing in the morning and makes her late for work.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Her favorite item in her shop right now is the "Vintage scenes peppermint dress".</div><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3AflT_eTW8aCbXXzfx9RwJ69MP7IJmcdwHUlVyBOPhMwCEdEAwMV4TlhCNEjp2rDZnognPkj-cRrnxoXYXgiEW_uCgw_YAZPtljyQqnsP-fDJ-eZdcYXCTuPHeYuoZokBS_wQh8fcO64/s320/Vintage+scenes+peppermint+dress.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453129149639522498" style="cursor: pointer; width: 296px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Isn't is adorable?</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Her biggest sellers are her rompers and jumpers such as these.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgawfBlVTxTFq5vQy-uRUgopMPhK9PBHVkK66lpZlR5ZHs3OOaLil1mlUeqQVLUvvkMLTdotAn7Ay8yilr6vXhmXVRjMCN2TVcjPpGlDZFNjmx85RMtxgWpNuIwMThFfNL9oo_lzZDSSGY/s320/Rompers.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453129141046709570" style="cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 320px; " /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7eEh3GNNz4ixmaRROb-VXuSHNWUou-4GSLAQLeczwI6MQgPazQqafjg3FTsKOvmSsdSLa_fQamkj9L30PaQfTpny6FNZdn8AThjL8c70x10triZ2G4_GB8scIYr_zXvL6R6nDG64Q9Fw/s320/Jumper.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453128967651297234" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">When asked what her most memorable sale was she responded:</div><div style="text-align: center; ">"A boutique in NJ ordered 45 dresses and she needed them for summer opening and I actually completed them all in 2 days."

Me, my husband, son, and fur baby all live in a small one bedroom apartment in the upstairs of a house so we don't have a lot of room for my crafts. I have also had to get inventive when it comes to storage and getting the most stuff I can in my space. My space is in a corner of the living room behind the couch :) It is kind of a mess but it is an organizational work in progress. Enjoy!

It is my favorite one that I have made so far so I am excited that it was my 1st Twiddle Blanket that sold online. Having another sale has gotten me in the mood to create again.

Hopefully I can get my homework finished early so I can work on some new creations tonight when he goes to bed.<div><br /></div><div>I cannot even begin to describe the excitement and feeling of pride that I get when something that I took the time to create sales online. It is so rewarding to know that someone appreciates the time, effort, and skill that you have.

I need some inspiration. What do you do to get into the mood to create? Is there a series of actions that you have to do like cut on music, clean space, etc? I just haven't wanting to pick up a piece of fabric and thread in a few days.

I saw a fellow blogger that had this link on her blog:</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/01/how-to_make_a_magnetic_organiz.html">http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/01/how-to_make_a_magnetic_organiz.html</a><div><br /></div><div>I am so going to make one of these magnetic organizers. <img src="http://blog.craftzine.com/organizer_board_09.jpg" alt="organizer_board_09.jpg" /> </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It looks very simple and since my crafting area is TINY it would help out a lot I think. I will probably use it more for an inspiration board but not sure yet. I will hopefully get it finished in a week or so. I am not sure how much time I will have on my hands for now but it is definitely on my to do list. </div>cuteasabutton4babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369586274439161102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161096792472822674.post-31239672447523111502010-01-18T11:15:00.000-08:002010-01-18T11:22:13.045-08:001st Sale on Etsy.comSo yesterday I had my 1st sale on etsy.com. I sold my Georgia the Giraffe that is posted in the previous posting. She is going to a great home in Georgia to a little baby that was recently adopted from Ethiopia. <div><br /></div><div>When I got the email that my 1st item from my shop was bought I got a rush of emotion. I was very touched and extremely excited. I have sold items in the past but man what a rush to sale something online. Hopefully it is the start of something great. </div><div><br /></div><div>For all those who make homemade items hang in there. Your 1st sale will come. It took me almost a month before my 1st item sold. I do have some tips though for those who sale on etsy.com. Repost and renew often. Join in on the forums, especially the critique board. This is a great way to get fellow etsians to take a look at your shop. Also, ask others to critique your photographs. I thought that I had some decent ones at first until I had others critique them. I followed a lot of their guidance and direction and noticed a huge difference in the amount of views and hearts that I got. This is especially true for the items that I photographed using my light box that I made. I have a link to a tutorial in one of my posts labeled light box. Good luck everyone.</div>cuteasabutton4babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369586274439161102noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161096792472822674.post-66833781852468755002010-01-11T14:32:00.001-08:002010-01-11T14:44:42.426-08:00Finished my light boxSo I finished my lightbox. I really like it. I used this tutorial <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent">http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent</a> . Thanks to the author of this tutorial. I like how it turned out but next time I will make it much bigger. I spent $10 total on making this box because I already had a box and I used an old white sheet. The only thing that I purchased was the light and a 100 watt bulb.<div><br /></div><div>Here are my before and after pictures:</div><div>Before: <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL3ti0A6Z93AMzselg42cAVdEtaS887fuHuWsi5_DE-mtgf-AKpi5Lruyr5iP7NWu0rRMaqbscgx09VYBgxGjyhyphenhyphenSyq0XCs37NEOeeKDaeQ_wJzsYOeaSTk0nnpqW570Gkrn3BuzlhSp4/s320/etsy+069.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425616345699798578" /></div><div>After: <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyXq2_kGF3hBt2lA8uFMZkwJk__hiLdWDVPd7ZRpeLrOWVb44Bin147Kw4VArqcK7rUEPr-FLSGnmCQBBQgc8Hzv-HUFaB7bjk9r7oXGeNfo58dLHNOPErah73BD9izltpbUQbXj0F008/s320/113.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 296px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425616543028793986" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There is a big difference in the looks.

There is definitely not enough light in my house. I got some great advise from fellow etsy sellers. Thank you everyone who has helped me. I love that about etsy.com. There are tons and tons of fellow sellers that offer encouragement and are willing to share their advice and experience. That is very different for me. I am very grateful. I am going to make a light box tonight. I think that it will help my photos tremendously. I have never even heard of a lightbox so thank you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zafras">http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zafras</a> for all of your help and links. Hopefully I'll get it finished tonight so I can take new photos tomorrow. We will have to see how my son acts tomorrow. It's hard to get things done with a newly mobile 1 year old running around.cuteasabutton4babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369586274439161102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161096792472822674.post-4305949077692115672010-01-09T08:13:00.000-08:002010-01-09T10:11:03.138-08:00I hit the Motherload<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCrq8AX7mVhvcTTXZQyHnguUplS_HRPhjw-7E73wtW1tn9IpCe8718-4EPaw5B8daviGJ5XnQZANc-lYD2w2E_fTIuWD7_IqMP6mtlot596nWY5xy3abdeJcIIbuRGft1YSqMrszj-DE/s1600-h/etsy+002.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCrq8AX7mVhvcTTXZQyHnguUplS_HRPhjw-7E73wtW1tn9IpCe8718-4EPaw5B8daviGJ5XnQZANc-lYD2w2E_fTIuWD7_IqMP6mtlot596nWY5xy3abdeJcIIbuRGft1YSqMrszj-DE/s320/etsy+002.JPG" /></a> </div><br />So, I am all about upcycling anything that I can use. I hate to see anything go to waste when there are so many things that ordinary items can be turned into. I have had several books of fabric samples and wall paper samples given to me by some of the local stores here. Big thanks to The Peddler and Bella Vista Fabrics in Murfreesboro, TN for the books. Between the two places this is how many fabric samples that I was able to save from the trash. I do still have to peel all of the paper from the backs of each piece of fabric. I will try to save as much fabric as possible but have found last night that some of the fabrics are just not savable from the paper so I just had to cut around them.<br /><br />I don't know exactly what I will do with all of this fabric but I do have some ideas. I would love to make hang tags for my items out of them. I think they will be great sizes for that. Other than that, I am not sure what I will do with them. The sky is the limit though. Please feel free to comment if you have any suggestions on what to do with this fabric. Since it is mainly upholstery and drapery fabric, I am kind of limited since it is all spot wash only.<br /><br />But the plan is to finish up taking off the paper and go from there. Wish me luck<div style="clear:both; text-align:CENTER"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>cuteasabutton4babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369586274439161102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161096792472822674.post-83273117639535537312010-01-08T17:46:00.000-08:002010-01-10T05:47:12.980-08:00And So the Journey BeginsT<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">he journey begins.......</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">I am creating this blog to share my experiences of the ups, downs, and in-betweens of creating unique and quality baby items.
