First Photo Shoot

So my Etsy site is finally up and running! So far I only have some headbands/ear warmers on there...but there will hopefully be a selection of cute and cuddly teddy bears on there for sale on Monday!

So to create my site, I needed to take some stylish photos to show how amazing my stuff is. Luckily I have a nice camera and a boyfriend who is quite the shutterbug. With a nice backdrop, some natural lighting, and a bunch of make-up to cover up how tired I was, we created a few shots of my headbands.

I then took a few macro shots to show the details and colours up close.

I got busy uploading the photos, choosing the right ones, and creating the postings :)

There are a total of 6 headbands for sale on my site right now! Please check them out and spread the word. 

I also take custom orders if you have a style, colour, or type of yarn in mind. Just send me a message or comment and I will be happy to discuss with you.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

On the Lisberry Designs blog, you can read about some of my projects (knit, sewn and crocheted...or any other crafty thing I might be up to) and how my new business is going!

So how did 'Lisberry Designs' start? 

Well...after getting a "make your own stuffed animal" book for Christmas from my wonderful sister-in-law, I decided to made my very own teddy bear named 'Señor Teddy'. I made him out of some wool socks I bought at Zellers and some old buttons from my late Babcia's (grandmother) giant stash of buttons. He turned out great and I instantly fell in love with him! 

Señor Teddy was made on a whim and was the start of a small adventure and the beginning of Lisberry Designs. 

One Saturday, Señor Teddy made a trip to Penetanguishine, Ontario...a small town north of Barrie, Penetang for short. His job was to convince the wonderful ladies at Art on the Hill to sell some of my handmade creations. He made such a great impression, that not only did they want to sell Teddy's brothers and sisters made out of recycled clothes, they also wanted to sell anything else I wanted to make. So 'Lisberry Designs' was born! I got busy sewing, crocheting and knitting to deliver teddies, headwarmers, barrettes and shamrock pins to Penetang in time for their annual winter carnival, Penetanguishene Winterama, the oldest winter carnival in North America.

I'll continue to make things for Art on the Hill, and will also be setting up an Etsy account in the next few days. I also take custom orders, whether it be a knit or crocheted item or a customized teddy bear. 

Keep checking back as I'll be posting some of my new projects!
