Halloween Fun

It's almost time for Halloween! This is the first year that my little guy "gets" it, so he picked out his own costume this year! My little man will be Batman, the main question is - will he actually wear the mask/hood? Time will tell...



There is still time to order some fun Halloween accessories from my shop, I have cute pendants and an adorable Halloween star baby blanket.


And wouldn't Abbie be an adorable Halloween surprise for the little ones (like my son) who don't eat candy?!?


Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Least Views

I started talking about views a couple of days ago before I got distracted by all the cute Santa items from my fellow EtsyNJ and EtsyBloggers folks. I showed you my item that had the most views in my shop. Now, I'd like to call some attention to the red headed step child of Made By Melissa, that's right, the least viewed item...

I wish I could say why these earrings have only ten views, perhaps the picture isn't the greatest, but I must admit, its really hard to get a good picture of something that is clear! Anyway, these super cute glass stars are accented by charcoal grey seed beads and hung from fish hook ear wires. Adorable, classy and shiny! Please hang these from your ears!

A Star Is Born - Custom Made Baby Blanket

I love making baby blankets and I love the star pattern and I love custom orders! So, when my sister asked me to make a star shaped baby blanket in girl colors, I of course said yes! Her friend is rather non-traditional, so we decided to spice it up a bit, while still keeping it baby-like. I LOVE the way it came out - hot pink, light pink and black stripes! Its just perfect.



The blue/green/yellow version of this blanket is still available in my Etsy shop. If you'd like this style in a different color palette, please feel free to send me a conversation in Etsy! I think the next time I try this style, I will make a grown-up sized blanket, how cool would that be?!?
