EtsyKids Supports Autism Awareness Day
Posted Tuesday, April 02, 2013
Today, April 2nd, is the 6th Annual Autism Awareness Day. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development, characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. According to statistics from the US CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) approximately 1 in 88 American children fall on the autism spectrum. An estimated 1 out of 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls is diagnosed with autism in the United States.
Thanks to growing awareness and increasing interest and funding of research, we no longer have to answer "What causes Autism?" with "We have no idea." Research is now delivering answers. You can read more about what researchers are discovering at AutismSpeaks.org.
Colored puzzle pieces, as you see below have become the symbol of Autism. Autism is a puzzle we are trying to understand and hopefully one day solve, made up of many different disorders. We challenge you to take some time today to learn something new about Autism. By increasing awareness we increase understanding.
EtsyKids team members have been staunch supporters of Autism awareness and research since our early beginnings on Etsy and the EtsyKids team. Some of the sellers featured in this collection, will donate a small portion of the sale to Autism Research. See their item description on Etsy for more information.

Let's Get Dressed Up! EK SpringSale Feature
Posted Friday, March 22, 2013
Melting snow and longer days meant one thing to me as a child; time to break out the summer dresses!
After spending the winter bundled in humiliating snow suits, dreaming of warmer days and flip flops, the day Mom replaced the wool sweaters in my dresser with parfait colored shorts and light dresses was a magical one. Spring has been a long time coming this year, making shopping for this wished for season a great way to melt away the winter blues.
Check out these shops for great sales and a spring preview.

Though the Weather Outside is Frightful
Posted Saturday, February 23, 2013
This was what my road looked like last week after 3 feet of snow fell in Connecticut. I love the way the trees look in their winter white, but it's getting a little old. The snow, that is. It's pretty at first, but now a week later, melting and refreezing, dirt thrown from the snowblower, the picture postcard charm is gone.
If I can't look outside for signs of spring, I'll try inside instead. In my studio, I pulled out 50 yards of pastel and floral prints that I bought in the Garment District in New York, last year. Why I haven't done anything with them yet, I can't imagine. But I was very glad to have their cheery prints flung over my table. I am going to sew up a spring.
If you can't wait for April showers or May flowers either right, now is a great time to check out these Etsykids Shops on Etsy. Here are a few signs of early spring, delivered right to your door.
Leilas Flower Garden has everything you need to grow a garden on a bedroom wall. You don't even need dirt or a shovel. Never mind my daughter's room, I want these for my studio right now.
Crochet Village sells every pattern you could need to whip up your own bit of warm whimsy. The flamingos make me want to book my Florida plane tickets, right now!

Tutorial: Spring Chick
Posted Tuesday, March 20, 2012
From Steph of NewMillie of This Homemade Life.
Has your weather been as crazy as it has been in Texas? Last week we had a few days of high 70's, low 80's with humidity and now for the last 3 days it has been pouring rain and 50 degrees. It's confusing, and I decided we needed a bit of Spring in our lives, and I want to share with you this little Spring Chick tutorial!!
1. Yarn. I used yellow, pink, black and orange, but you could make your little chick whatever color your little heart desires.
2. Hook. I used a 4.25 mm, but once again it's whatever you want.
3. Felt.
4. Hot glue
5. Hair clip or headband
Stitches used:
ch- chain
sl st- slip stitch
sc- single crochet-
hdc- half double crochet
dc- double stitch
tr- treble- Yarn over hook twice, then insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over hook, then draw yarn through the stitch (there will be four loops on your hook) *Yarn over and pull through two loops (three loop remaining), yarn over and pull through two loop,(two loops remaining) yarn over and pull through last two loops.
dbl tr- double treble- Same process as the treble, except yarn over hook three times to start the stitch
trp tr- triple treble- Same process as the double treble, except yarn over hook four times to start the stitch
Are you thoroughly
