I've only just happened upon the world of etsy, and children's toys are one of the things I've really wanted to start making. I've been lurking on your and several others' mom-blogs lately, because I love children a ton, but am too poor and young, and healthcare-lacking to be having any of my own yet. I love their creativity and imagination. So instead of making awesome handmade toys for my own children, I was hoping to make some and sell them on etsy for other peoples' little ones. Well poop.

There was a quote somewhere saying that about one of a kind, but unless the people in charge of enforcing the law clarify in writing it all feels like opinion of different staffers and hearsay. :-\ I'm going to post more about this, but wanted to link to this - this issue hit #1 on economic concerns: http://www.change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia Voting will be re-set on Monday, and I'm trying to figure out a way to make going and voting part of my last giveaway.

At least - that's the word from the diaper-making mamas... Crazy - I agree that this one will get amended.

Not because they're doing anything wrong, but because it's going to be made impossible for them to do it right. If the government wants to enforce the testing, then they should make the testing more realistic and affordable. So frustrating.
