A BIGGER CUDDLY CUTIE

All of my Soft Cuddly Cuties are the same basic size (2 inches tall), but for the first time I was asked if i could make a Cutie of a different size. This girl wanted a Nyan Cat but she wanted him to be big. By the time he was finished he was about 8 inches long and 4 inches tall. I haven't come up with a set price for larger Cuties yet, but charged $20.00 for this Cutie.

SHIPPING, REFUNDS, AND OTHER POLICIES


SHIPPING: Free shipping, except for “redesign” exchanges. You will have to pay for your own return. Since these are hand made it takes time to make them. Please allow for one week for the Soft Cuddly Cutie to be made, and then shipped. An email will be sent to you when the package has been sent. I will be using standard shipping so please keep in mind the time it may take to get to you. Violet’s Soft Cuddly Cuties will be sent in a manila envelope.

REFUNDS: If you feel there are flaws in the design, I will do what I can to fix it. However, items may not be returned because they do not “appear” as you expected them, so the more specific you are in your request, the better I can make your Soft Cuddly Cutie to your satisfaction. Keep in mind that these are handmade crafts, customized to customer specifications. 

PLEASE NOTE: All pieces are created by hand, so no two items are identical. Please allow for slight variances from what is shown in the made-to-order photos. 

WANT TO BUY??


I take custom orders to make 2 inch tall Soft Cuddly Cuties of anything you want. I can recreate items already made, or you can think of your own (anything you can imagine), and I will create it just for you. I can even take a picture (person or animal) and recreate them as a Soft Cuddly Cutie.  You also have the option to have them made into key chains, pins, bag charms, magnets, headband accessories, and even jewelry. Be specific with how you want your soft cuddly cutie to look (colors, patterns, etc.) so you can get exactly what you want.  Be creative and enjoy!!

The best way to order your Cutie is by emailing me at luv4cows@gmail.com with your specific order. You can also 'like' and message me through my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/VioletsSoftCuddlyCuties. Once you have told me your order I will put it up on my Etsy Store http://www.etsy.com/shop/viokitty and you can make your final purchase there. 


HOW IT STARTED
My name is Violet Sharpe and I have Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease which mainly affects my lungs and puts me in the hospital for extended periods of time several times per year. I spend most of my summers, and even some of the school year in the hospital. I easily get lonely or bored with having to stay confined to the hospital for weeks at a time. One way I’ve managed to deal with the boredom of a hospital room is to make crafts of various forms. Over the years, I’ve given away crafts to nurses, doctors, family, friends, other patients, etc., and they’ve frequently encouraged me to make my creations available on-line. I’ve worked with beads, fabric, paper, markers, etc., but my Soft Cuddly Cuties have had the most praise and with all the encouragement from loved ones, I have decided to make them available to the public. Because I spend so much time in the hospital I am not able to get a steady job. Making and selling these Soft Cuddly Cuties is the only way i can steadily make money to support myself. I love making these crafts and hopefully with time and support I will be able to expand and make more types of crafts available.
