Wow, time just flew!

Well by golly, I have not posted in quite some time. I have no real excuse for it either. We are sill working on some fabric combos for the larger Smoos...nothing really set in stone at the moment other than wanting ones side to be minkee swirl! That stuff is heavenly....

Tried out some Whiffy magnets but I was not happy with the strength of the magnets so I am on a hunt for some ultra strong magnets.

Other than the usual orders etc, nothing else new happening here!

Thinking up a new spin on the Whiffy Smoo!

If you have not been to our website, you should go check it out! Whiffy Bean Bags


We currently make our Smoos as a "lovey" sized blanket, so 14"x14".....but we are branching out and headed toward making a larger version! maybe closer to 34"x54"! I am really excited about this!

If you are reading this and have an idea on what colors or minkee patterns would make for great Smoos, please leave me a comment. I am trying to come up with some new color combos and I am a little stumped! Thanks!

How about that Super Bowl?

So we had some friends over for a chili cook-off and thought we would catch the commercials in between the mingling! well by golly..I am glad I caught the last 4 minutes of that game---what an ending! It was great!

oh and all of the chili was delicious.

Got another WAHM Friend to mention...

Jessica of a Ray of Stitches is another WAHM over on Hyena Cart and also happens to be part of the cooperative, Something on Hyena Cart of which I also am a member! Jessica makes some wonderful toys and in fact I have some of her cool wooden money. She also makes doll diapers, tic tac toe sets, bean bags in her toy repertoire. But that is not it, I also know that Jessica knits....She is sort of the "you name it, she can make it kinda gal"!

Time just flew by!

So I am all gung ho on the Blog thing and then I let 11 days go by without a post. Sorry, in case any one was reading daily hoping for a new post! Well here it is!

We sent out our first Whiffy Bean Bags newsletter last week and launched our new Monthly Whiffy Welcome. We've received positive feedback on this Welcome so I am really excited about it!

OH and I got a new sewing machine last week! I bought a Janome 2040 not too fancy but considering all I do is straight stitch, how fancy do I need to get! It is smooth and quiet compared to my Singer and much heavier! now Paul can take over my Singer and we can sew at the same time! I would love an embroidery machine but really do I need one? probably not! Just love the thought.

I am planning to make some new Smoos this week to list on our website. Stay tuned for those.....

Wrapped Up In Love

Isn't that the cutest name? I have the privilege of working with some great WAHMs over at Hyena Cart and Raeanne, the WAHM behind Wrapped Up In Love is one of them! This single Mom of the cutest little boy makes a ton of great stuff- baby carriers, diaper, mama pads, clothes, toys, you name it!

In addition to stocking at WAHM Originals, Raeanne is planning to open her own Hyena Cart in the near future, where she will sell diapers and carriers, as well as other things that she loves to make such as mama cloth, market bags, toys, baby clothes, etc.

So fly on over and check out her cute stuff and then check back for hew new HC!

Anyone out there yet?

So I just started this Blog last night after my Husband convinced me it would be fun....well is anyone reading it yet? How are you finding me....and most importantly are you here at all? So leave me a comment on this post to let me know you are out there!

Since this would not fit in the description section....

My name is Leah and I am a Mom to 2 great kiddos, Alexa and Nate and a wonderful wife to Paul. My goal to create successful business, the Whiffy way, began in August of 2006. Messed around with drying lavender from our backyard, bought a sewing machine, learned to sew with it, got some cute little Blues Clue's fabric and made a lavender sachet...designed for my 3 year old daughter! Thought hey...I can make great smelling lavender sachets not in those old fashioned embroidered lavender flower fabrics but in fun fabrics that kids like, then I can go throw them in the kids' drawers for a little extra scent! My daughter loved her "bean bags" as she called them....and after an exhaustive thesaurus check for a word for "scented", Whiffy Bean Bags began as did the road to creating a successful business! So this is why I am here....so you can keep up with my current success and/or lack of success at times, if that so happens....but if all goes as planned that million dollar company will be in reach soon!
