Hello and good afternoon to everyone out there! Hope your day is as lovely as mine is shaping up to be. This must be a quick post, as I have a little one getting all sticky while eating watermelon for lunch.
I just wanted to let you all know that you can now follow Hush Baby Toys via email! On the Right hand side of this blog, right next to the posts, you should be able to see a "Follow by Email" sign. Now I haven't tried it out yet, but I think you should be able to put your email address into that little box and hit enter and voila! You will get emails on updates. This will be especially helpful for anyone participating in the contest (there are still only a lonely five followers. Hoping for at least a few more by the 10th). Now, instead of requiring a blogger or google account, you should be able to follow this blog regardless of what email you use.
And now I have a very sweet, very sticky baby to clean off, and we are out the door to play. Have a lovely day!

Good morning, Starshine!
Hello hello, on this lovely, though rainy morning. I'm not usually a big fan of clouds and rain and cold, but as I sit here in the quiet of an early morning house, with my coffee in hand and Ziggy Stardust playing on my computer, while the baby is sound asleep for her morning nap, I can't help but feel that life as we know it is very very good. This feeling is helped by the fact that I am wearing one of my favorite shirts from before I was pregnant and a pair of size 4 jeans, thinking I could probably go down at least a size because I have finally lost all my baby weight. Only ten pounds of married weight to lose before I am back to my college size. And that was a good size, if I might say so myself.
As many of you know, I am out of town this week. We were over in Minnesota for my brother-in-law's wedding, and I have to say it was BEAUTIFUL. It was held in a historic church in a very historic town with the reception in a historic hotel (all very historical). Everything was small and elegant and absolutely perfect, and I couldn't be happier for the new couple. The staff at the hotel was far and away the absolute best staff I have ever encountered in any customer service field ever. They were so helpful and friendly and kind to us, and absolutely doted on our baby girl. Any parents out there know that many places can be downright rude to people with babies, because they don't want to deal with the extra work that comes along with a baby. This staff truly would have gone out of their way to do just about anything for you, so I am definitely going to use my blog power to throw a shoutout to them. If any of you get around to Minnesota, and are looking for a fantastic weekend escape, the Palmer House in Sauk Center is the place to be. On top of the fantastic service and charming surroundings, it is also a historical point of interest for any bibliophiles out there, as Sinclair Lewis did a lot of his writing in the Palmer House. It's also supposed to be haunted, but having a healthy dose of skepticism in my veins, I didn't happen to have any sort of paranormal experiences.
Our hotel room had fantastic light, which allowed me the chance to get some really great pictures of the newest toy I've been working on. In the next few days, you will notice some changes to the shop. The GALLERY will change names, and be called STORE or SHOP, or something like it. There will still be a GALLERY button, but it will take you to pictures of other Hush Baby Toys available in brick and mortor stores. This will let you browse all Hush Baby Toys, in case you were curious what is available in stores and not in the online shop.
Hope that makes sense. If I haven't explained it well enough, I'm sure when the changes take effect, you will be able to grasp what I mean.
Until later, I have an ear I need to finish knitting before the baby wakes up from her nap. Overandout!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!
Did you notice them? Probably not, because nobody follows this blog yet =P
The look of the blog has changed dramatically, and it was all relatively painless - upload your artwork as files to the blog and it pretty much does the rest. Neat, huh?
In case you're wondering, the picture at the header is my daughter snuggling Mouse, the first HBT I ever made. Mouse has become an essential part of bedtime.
The bonus to this blogs for dummies aproach to customization is that I am not only finished, but pleased with the result of my efforts just in time for bed.
And now as I get ready, I am reminded that in the chaos of chasing a very grouchy and very squirrely baby, I neglected to brush my teeth this morning. Ick.
