WAHM Day 1 – Green Belle Shoppe

Welcome to our 10 day long spotlight on all our great WAHM’s. Here at Top to Bottom Baby Boutique we pride ourselves on working with WAHM’s and helping them to spread the love for their products. What better way to spread the love than to give something away! We’re also going to have a 5% discount on each of our WAHM products through October 10th. (no code necessary)

Meet our first WAHM run business:

The Mom behind it all: Michelle Cook

Tell us about yourself: “I've been crocheting/x-stitch since I was about 7 and fell in love with yarn ever since. My mom taught me how to hand crochet a single chain when I was 7 and I would make yards and yards of single chains.  Then my step-mom would take me and my sister and step sisters out about 2-3 times a month to each get a skein of yarn or some other craft and she really taught me the stitches then and I started making blankets, pot holders...and then I made barbie dresses!  So much fun
I got into quilting after working at a craft store when I was going to college and then fell in love with fabric.  When I started having babies it was too hard to use the sewing machine and took too long to finish a quilt (I still have about 5-7 unfinished quilts in my attic/craft space) so I started making hand bags.  I made so many my wonderful husband said...hey, why don't you sell those.  So...I found Etsy through my cousin who makes the cutest handbags (29 cherryblossoms by melanie) and started there.  Well...once again I had to put my sewing machine up as my youngest baby was trying to play with it and it was clogging up our dining room table:).  So I got my crochet hooks back out and started on that.  I ran across dryer balls on Etsy and saw that there wasn't a huge market yet (January of last year) and made a couple...and they sold right away (so exciting). 
I am excited to offer people a greener option and I am glad to rid myself of dryer sheets as well!  I am currently working on more baby blankets and use cotton and wool primarily in all my products as I am trying to be as green as possible.  I have 3 baby blankets in the works for x-mas presents as a special order and I am also working on making more scarfs and cowls out of wool!  I would like to expand a bit, add a few more retailers...and continue to craft and come up with new and pretty creations.“
