Blog Crawl Day 5



Hi! My name is Jill. I am the cupcake obsessed mastermind behind “Stay Calm, Cupcake Shop”. Thanks so much for joining in on this fun “Shop til you Drop” blog Crawl. Let me tell you a little bit about myself then I’ll share a fun giveaway with you!

 About Me:
I am passionate about creating inventive, delicious, and entirely homemade cupcakes for all of my customers. I opened my shop in 2010 with the hopes of sharing my baking talent with others and making a few extra bucks along the way. To my delight, my Etsy shop has turned into a much greater business venture than I ever anticipated. Thanks to the support of my wonderful fans and customers, I recently made it to my 105th sale! I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love and share my passion with other sweet treat enthusiasts!
My dream is to one day soon open up a store front and have my own cupcake truck. In my world, a sweet little cupcake can fix almost any situation. Just add a little frosting and a gloomy day is turned sunny again. Stay Calm Cupcake Shop was born out of the simply philosophy that all of us need to slow down a little bit and enjoy the sweeter things life has to offer. I truly love what I do and am looking forward to where the sweet smell of sugar takes me!

Time for Free Stuff!!
I will be giving one lucky winner a “Cupcake Love” Cupcake Kit. This yummy kit includes 6 cupcakes of your flavor choice, a piping bag full of frosting, and a cute little pack of sprinkles. Simply pipe the frosting onto your cupcakes, finish with sprinkles, and enjoy! Perfect for any cupcake lover out there!

Dodu (doh-doo) Baby peek.a.boo car seat canopy!!


I started making these car sear canopies when I needed to protect my new baby Nina from the harsh weather conditions of Chicago, but couldn't find any covers with fabric that I was willing to carry around...AND so was the start of Dodu Baby. 


A dodu peek.a.boo is a fun and stylish car seat canopy that protects your little one from the elements (wind, sun, GERMS, noise, etc) while maintaining a safe and cozy environment. Easy to attach and detach to any standard infant car seat, a peek.a.boo can also be used as a colorful blanket for your munchkin to play on
How Do I WIN?

Blog Crawl Day 3



Born with an overactive imagination and a passion for sewing, I have always enjoyed creating pretty and feminine items.   I started sewing when I was around 10, out of desperation to fix my favorite bean bag doll that had been vigorously loved. I have been hooked ever since.

So what inspires me?  Ruffles, polka dots and vintage fashion. I am addicted to beautiful fabrics and colorful ribbon.  I can never leave a pattern how it is. I must always change something. It’s just how I am.  It is so fun and challenging to make it my own.  
I started my sewing blog, Sew Determined, just a few months ago as a New Year’s challenge to myself to really step up my sewing skills. I also wanted to encourage other time crunched gals like me to take up the art and see how much fun creating can be.   
 One of my other goals I set was to make a complete wardrobe for myself by the end of the year.  While on this quest, I decided “Why not share some of these fun outfits with others?” That’s how Call Me Cordelia on Etsy was started.  There is something so amazing to wear something that was made just for you by a real person you “kinda” know and not some faceless person in a factory. I just love that about Etsy.  It’s a place where super talented people come together and sell amazing things.



I am so excited to be participating in this blog crawl giveaway! I am happy to announce that I will be giving away from my Call Me Little Cordelia collection, a fuchsia pink, super fluffy tutu! This tutu is sewn, not tied, with yards upon yards of fluffy pink tulle.  The waist band is a cute pink and green grosgrain ribbon with 1” wide elastic encased within for a no-itch waist.  Playtime should be fun, not itchy and uncomfortable.  This tutu has a waistband that measures 20 inches with a stretch up to 24” and is 14" in length.  Good luck and I hope you win!



So how do you enter this fabulous giveaway? Glad you asked.  To enter the Sew Determined child’s tutu giveaway you simply need to:
  1. “Like” Sew Determined on Facebook
  2. “Follow” me  on my blog Sew Determined
  3. Leave a comment on my blog.
  4. Go to my Etsy shop Call Me Cordelia and heart your favorite item!
Doing all four of these things will enter your name 4 times for a chance to win the super-duper cute tutu skirt!

Blog Crawl Day 2



Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am so very excited to be involved in my first ever blog crawl!  Thank You to Nikki and Jill for putting this together!  I am a mother of two busy little girls and we live on a farm.  Life around here is never boring!  We have horses, cattle, dogs, bunnies, and chickens.

I will be giving away a bow of your choice!  Pictures can be seen on facebook, my blog, and my etsy shop.

I started making hair bows after my first daughter was born because I saw all the bows in the boutuqies and they were too expensive.  My friends saw them and started asking me to make some for there little girls.  This has just evolved from there.  I also make custom bows and hair peices for weddings and formal events.  I am in LOVE with all of the diffrent ribbon designs and the many many diffrent things that can be done with it.
