Found a mushroom!

November 13th, 2010 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (1 Comments)

Found a mushroom
They are so cute!!! This one is only centimeters big. It was attached to a little twig and some moss- how adorable would this be in a terrarium? I’ve been wanting to start or buy a terrarium for a while now and this inspires me so….

Found on etsy!


a. WarmCountryMeadows . etsy has some great terrarium sellers and this is one of them. Love the DIY kit she has too!
b. babyjives . how cute is this?! Love how dimensional the clouds are… check out her shop to see her awesome bird mobiles too
c. KLTworks . i’ve already mentioned these cutie slugs before, but here they are again. I don’t think i’ll ever get tired of how cute they are ^^
d. fogandswell . I absolutely love how detailed this is for a simple creature- and generally I just love the theme of the creatures in her shop. check it out and you’ll see what I mean- looking forward to seeing more items from fogandswell!

Crafting In Color

August 27th, 2010 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (0 Comments)

I’ve been referenced as being Wednesday Adams, Marla Singer, and Tim Burton something… so I’m pretty darn pleased to be apart of the Crafting In Color Etsy Team! I have never claimed black to be my favorite color, ever. But I do admit my wardrobe was 95% black from the ages of 14-23. So this is a pretty big deal for me- I am officially embracing my inner rainbow.

To commemorate, I made this treasury on etsy. As always, comments appreciated!


[CIC Team] treasury:
top row: beckykazana, therainbowroom, HamjArt, KIMONOS
2nd row: PoorRobin, sunshinegrovefarm, kittybblove, ahouston
3rd row: sugarandcream, alatceramics, MistyAurora, swiedebie
4th row: tekaandzoe, happycloud, bprdesigns, thefuzzymonkey

Coloring Book - What Kitties Feel

What Kitties Feel has been made into a coloring AND activity book! We now have it available for print or as a download on our etsy shop as well as kittybabylove.com

So now we have 3 options:
a:: Coloring book download
b:: Coloring & Activity book download

Coloring Book - What Kitties Feel

I was thinking of doing a free activity page on a monthly basis for our newsletter subscribers. I think I need to do a year’s worth (12) at one time so it is all ready to go without me having to worry about it. When that is ready i’ll post about it here.

Till then, enjoy the download or printed book!

Bowling Kitty Set - White

Bowling Kitty Set - $40

What have we been up to? Making Bowling Kitties! Ben does all the woodworking and I do the drawstring bags. A friend recently let us borrow more professional woodworking tools so hopefully we’ll be making a ton of them soon. My contribution to the set is making the bags.

Happy Holidays

December 4th, 2009 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Craft Shows | Etsy | Family Life - (0 Comments)

We have a new banner for the holiday wintery season…. check out Ben’s kitty reindeer. So cute!

Ben and I are retiring from craft shows for the rest of the year. Portland Saturday Market is actually doing a week long event up til  Dec. 24th that we were considering, but with 40F weather, rain, etc… I think it’s a better idea to pass.

This is our first Christmas with Kitty Baby Love and there was no way we could have anticipated the response we received from online sales. When we first started the business, we had hoped to get at least 365 sales by the end of the year… a sale a day. As of today we have 571 sales on etsy! It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that something we work so hard on is becoming successful. Mostly we are grateful for the opportunity of being work-at-home parents.

Mikah is already 7 months old, crawling around, and has 4 teeth. There are so many things we would have missed if either of us had to go away or he had to go to daycare. Instead we get to stay at home and be with him everyday. Thank you to all of our customers and supporters for this opportunity!

Giftwrapping

December 4th, 2009 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (2 Comments)


I love stationary so much. It’s hard to resist buying anything now that the holidays are around the corner.. stores are packed with all sorts of seasonal papers and ribbons. Ben and I spotted some red, yellow, green & gold (kitty baby love colors!) things and decided to pick up a few items. They are now available on our etsy shop as an upgraded gift wrap option.


I think they really make the packages festive. I also noticed a couple of feedback comments on how cute our packaging was, but since it was a gift, how they didn’t want to open to ruin the wrapping before giving it away. So now there is another option….

When the upgrade is selected, the purchased item will come in a simple wrapping accompanied by all the packaging extras. Perfect so you can admire the kitty eggs before wrapping them up for the gift recipient.
If that isn’t a concern to you, you can always just have it sent to you (or directly to the recipient) all wrapped and ready to put under the tree or in a stocking. That means more time for you to do other preparations.

While our supplies last, they will be available here for $2.

Website updates

October 29th, 2009 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (0 Comments)

Oh my goodness there are so many things to update on- I don’t know where to begin!

First our website is finally live! It still needs some tweaks and additions, but the shop and shopping cart is working. Features we love include:

A secure shopping cart experience
We now have an SSL certificate which ensures security when you enter your credit card information on our website. You can verify this by checking the weblink and seeing that instead of http:// it reads https://

User registration
You will be required to signup in order to make a purchase. When you do that you now have an account with us and can track your order history (including when and if your item has been shipped yet) straight from your account! You can also write reviews on items and save items in your shopping cart for a later purchase date.

Coupon codes!!!
Yes that’s right- we’re going to be handing out discounts left and right (ok, slight exaggeration..) now that we have a system set up to automatically do it (etsy currently does not support this feature). A Halloween coupon will be revealed soon… we encourage you to stay tuned so that you can test out this new feature ^_^

Here is a screen shot of our new site… we appreciate any feedback you have on it including if it looks tweaky on your system/browser

And while on the topic of website updates we recently changed our etsy banner in reflection of the fall season…
Out with the old… and In with the new! What do you think?

Kitty Bowling Set

August 25th, 2009 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (0 Comments)

In case you’ve not recently visited our shop, the Kitty Bowling set is finished and ready to be purchased! See our original post on the bowling set here.

The white painted sets were listed last Thursday and the Natural wood version were listed just a few days ago.

Bowling Kitty Set

Ben and I are imagining the Bowling Kitties to be used on a fun family night. We love playing board & card games (our favorites include Monopoly, Scrabble, and Rummy) and think anything other than watching TV would be a great way to pass time and bond as a family unit. You can bet that we’ll use these with Mikah when he is old enough. It is going to be so cute to see him try to roll a ball at wooden kitties! ^_^

Bowling Kitty Set

Until that time, we leave it up to you to enjoy them!

Chalkboard Kitty Sale!

August 18th, 2009 | Posted by Kitty Baby Love in Etsy - (0 Comments)

The prototype has been completed! (see our original post here)

The two kitty paws (above) are actually erasers that adhere to the body by magnets…
Unfortunately they don’t work! The beautiful heavy wood we picked out is just too thick. The little rail on the bottom of the chalkboard to hold chalks is also a nice touch, but was eliminated with the idea that chalkboard kitty will serve better as a car/travel companion… which would make having a rail rather silly!

We will be keeping our prototype pictured above and selling the 3 chalkboard kitties that were completed as a limited edition piece. They will come with colored chalk, an eraser, and a reusable canvas bag to store it all in. Why limited edition? It just takes way too long to make. All the corners and edges are rounded as a safety feature and take forever to do (and are thus more expensive to make)… just look at all those curves around the tail and feet! It just wouldn’t be cost effective. Also cutting the shape out is impractical to do out of our home on a larger scale… *sigh*
So while we would love to make more of these (they are so cute to have around the house), it’s back to the drawing *ahem* chalk boards for us…

Chalkboard Kitty No.2

3 Chalkboard Kitties *are now available* on our etsy shop for $45 + $8 priority mail shipping in US
International shipping available
