Handmade by Betty

Ok, so here is something super awesome.
So - I have decided to name my business 'Betty' and guess what I found in my sewing room?! You know those little fabric labels you can buy at fabric shops that say 'Handmade By ...' and you can pick and choose with the names? WELL. I inherited my Gran's button collection when she died, and in there are a bunch of labels that say "Handmade by Betty" AHHH! So perfect! I can't wait to use them in the new pieces I make. So adorably wonderful.


This gives you an idea - they look like the one in the centre, but they say "Handmade by Betty" Cute, no?

Ok, here's a blog for ya

So - I have been thinking a lot about what my business name will be - and this is what I came up with...

Betty

why, you wonder? Betty is my late Gran's name. For those of you who don't know - my Gran is my mom's mother - my grandmother :P
Gran died last year and her death had a profound effect on me. Since she has been gone, she enters my dreams at least once a week - she is always with me.
My Gran taught me how to knit - she was a mother to my mom and her sister who both took up sewing with great passion. (she also has a son - my uncle, but he doesn't sew:P) She loved to knit, knitting all the way until she went into the hospital.
I want to name my business 'Betty' to honour my Gran - to keep her textile love alive - and to keep her even closer to me.
It's also just a super cute name - which is important to me as well ;)



Any thoughts anyone?
