Roz

My friend Bug has a baby daughter named Penny.  When she was born she had Torticollis, which is weak muscles in the neck. Because of this it lead to her having Plagiocephaly. Plagiocephaly is pretty much a fancy word for a head that isn't symmetrical. This resulted in her needing to wear a helmet to correct the problem.  She would be in this helmet for about 3-6 months.  Because the helmet is clear and summer is approaching, Bug was told she needed to be really careful and keep a hat on her when outdoors because she can get sunburned really easy through the helmet. Bug and I got together, whipped up a pattern and made some darling bonnets for her to wear to protect her little head.  They turned out so cute and Bug got so many compliments on them from lots of people. Because of that, I called up Bug and said, I think we should make these bonnets and sell them.  So, that is what we did and that is how roz came to be. We got the name because Bug's middle name is Rose, her daughter London's middle name is Rose and Stella's middle name is Rose. So we named it after that and gave it a little spin on the spelling.  Because social media is so big and everyone has an instagram account, we decided to just do it through instagram. We opened up an account just for this and people pay us through pay pal.  We just started it, but it has been really fun and has done quite well. It has kept us busy, and is so fun to have a creative outlet. I enjoy sewing so much and have always wanted to do something like this, but couldn't come up with a good idea of what to make. I love doing it with Bug and especially love that we both know that family comes first.  I am really excited about this, and hope to see it grow in the next few months.

This is our traditional bonnet that we first started out with. It is called the Penny Bonnet.

We had a fun little photo shoot and did a collaboration with Downeast Basics using their kids clothes with our bonnets. The pictures turned out pretty dang cute.

This is our Stella Bonnet. It is just like the Penny bonnet, but with out the brim.

We have sold quite a few bonnets and have babies all over the world, yes you heard that right, WORLD...wearing our bonnets!

Bug and I named ourselves the Blonde haired, Red lipped lasses and put some faces to our business with these pictures that we posted to introduce ourselves.

We had a booth at the farmer's market in North Logan. It was fun, but because this market is so new, it was very small and didn't get much traffic.  We decided to stick to online sales.

The picture on the left was sending out our first batch of bonnets. We had been up late the night before sewing them, and then went to the post office the next morning to ship them all off. All of us including our kids were still in our pj's and were quite a sight when we walked into that post office.

The picture on the right.... well... we were asked to do a few bonnets for some girls that went on the youth pioneer trek.  They are really ugly, but gave us a dang good laugh.
