new squiggle blinkies: baby, TTC, pregnancy, multiples

November 9th, 2010 -- Posted in blinkies & other cuteness | Comments Off

I’ve added another batch of blinkies to one of my fave blinkie styles (in the 150×20 collections): my Squiggle Blinkies. There are now so many, I’ve had to stretch the collection to a second page. The new blinkies have added colours: a light green, a darker pink (than the original light pink), and a darker blue (than the original light blue).

Most of the blinkies created were sprinkled into categories such as TTC (Hoping for a Boy and Hoping for a Girl), Baby Dust, Pregnancy**, and Twins/Triplets/Mulitples, which have more pages now added to accommodate the larger number of blinkies!

new blinkies for nursing mothers: TTC, tandem, etc.

October 20th, 2010 -- Posted in blinkies & other cuteness | Comments Off

There are tons of blinkies out there for breastfeeding moms (I’ve certainly contributed my fair share – probably a hundred or so by now!), but it’s still a little more difficult to find nursing-themed blinkies for special circumstances…

Breastfeeding alone is a challenge, so adding any other factors to your nursing routine (or an extra baby!) is an accomplishment any mom should be proud of! So I also wanted to fill the gap by producing some blinkies to show pride for the amazing accomplishment of tandem nursing – whether you are nursing your newborn and older baby, your baby and toddler, or toddler and child, it’s no easy feat!

Then, of course I had to also consider moms of multiples who are breastfeeding their twins or triplets. Moms of preemies and NICU babies are also taking on extra challenges when it comes to continuing to provide their babies with breast milk.

The Tandem Nursing Blinkies Page includes all blinkies related to nursing more than one baby, be they twins, triplets, multiples, or siblings.

I’ve also had blinkie requests for “working and pumping” breastfeeding blinkies before and I know there must be other moms out there in the same boat, so I’ve created blinkies in that area as well…

new blinkie batch: baby by month

October 18th, 2010 -- Posted in blinkies & other cuteness, work/career | Comments Off

This blinkie batch was a long time coming, and I’m glad to have finally had enough creative “blinkie-making” energy in me to finish up the set of Baby Month blinkies I’d started to refresh my old-style 150×20 set…

So the fall months (the “Fall Mix” set of oranges and browns) were already complete, and I’d done a few simple blinkies for May through August, but it’s now safe to say that there are blinkies available for all months of the year, some with different new style options as well.

Here are the latest additions to the set…


Spring Months:
(”Green Mix”)


Summer Months: (”Red Mix”)


Winter Months:


The whole set of Baby Month-by-Month blinkies can be found here (a new page! the other 2 “old style” batches have been moved to their own pages). The matching Due Date Month-by-Month blinkies can be found here.

In other KStar Design news, please note that I’m not currently taking any new graphic/web design clients or starting new projects in that area OR accepting any blinkie requests (I just haven’t been able to keep up with anything lately and don’t want to add more to the pile!).

However, I do still have Hand-crafted Cards and Baby Birth Plaques up for sale on the site and will be adding new cards soon. I’ve updated the index page of the site to reflect the change in focus of the company, which may or may not be continuing on as an official entity after this calendar year.

All for now, so enjoy the blinkies and stay tuned for more coming soon! I have 2 different batches to add to the site and then blog about, so hopefully I can squeeze those in sometime soon in between the cards and other projects I’m posting about. ;)
