Updates!!!!

I have really been slacking off writing on my blog, as the last post was March 15th! Well, what is new. Ella and Elton the Elephants are coming soon. Just working on some final details. Very cute I would have to say! Also, should have the "milk buds" due here any day. I have some really pretty fabrics coming.

On a personal note, just waiting for the summer to begin. Found a really great author-Alice Lipman-and am really enjoying reading her books. They are very insightful and great summer reads. Am in the process of changing my hair color-I need to make some changes and this is a good one. I am slowly changing from blond to red. My children really want me to have the bright red/orange color, but that is too drastic for me. Ah..to be a kid again, no worries about self, hair color, clothing (well sometimes!). I am loving wearing flip flops and am enjoying the warmer weather. I really should be living near the beach. What a great life that would be! Somehow the ocean has a really calming effect. Ohhhh..I can dream!

Olive is here!

Olive the bunny is finally here. She is an adorable lilac bunny with floppy polka dot ears. Olive makes a great addition to the Easter basket. If your children are like mine-one piece of chocolate makes them jump off the walls for hours-this is a useful, yet adorable gift. If bunnies are not your thing, check out Quackers the Duck. Any child would love seeing these cute critters in their basket Easter morning.

MICROWAVE IN THE BEDROOM???

Well since my last post was Nov. 6th, I figured it was time to add another. My mother is the biggest fan of my corn bags. She lives in Montana and everyone knows it can get downright bone chilling bitter at night there. She also sleeps with multiple corn bags for that exact reason! As most of us do, she gets up at least once during the night and then has trouble falling back to sleep. She decided that since they had an extra microwave in the workshop, she was going to bring it into the bedroom. When she gets up in the middle of the night she pops the corn bags into the microwave and several minutes later she is back in bed dosing off quickly with the warmth of the corn bags next to her. She swears they work better than a sleep aid! So, a microwave in the bedroom...not a bad idea! Corn bags as a sleep aid..possibly!

Be on the lookout for Cupcake the Cat!

Arriving soon, a new addition to our critter family, Cupcake the Cat. All the cat lovers out there will sure love this cuddly kitty in a vibrant hue!

As seen in Country Living Magazine!

I am thrilled beyond words to announce that Corn Bag Critters was selected as a winner in Country Living Magazines' Pitch Your Product Event! Corn Bag Critters will be featured in the November issue of the magazine, pick one up and see Quackers, Petunia and Bella! This is a dream come true!

NEW PRODUCT IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!

I am so excited to welcome two new critters to our family, Igor the Monster and Rex the dinosaur. Both are crafted from the softest 100% cotton chenille and retail for $19.99. In addition to the critter family, I have added a new designer fabric line for men and women. You can choose from a large selection of beautiful prints from Amy Butler, Michael Miller, Alexander Henry and more. Corn Bags make great gifts since they all are under $20.00 and everyone has at least one ache or pain!

Easing the pain of Fibromyalgia

Recently, I gave my mother's friend a corn bag for her daughter who has suffered from Fibromyalgia for several years. Her feedback was that it really helps relieve her pains, and even requested a larger version! I cannot speak from experience as I do not suffer from Fibromyalgia, but for those of you that do...try a corn bag critter on your aches and pains. If you have a success story, please e-mail me. I would love to hear that my "critters" have helped give you relief.
