DesMoinesRegister.com:

Katie Koester of Grimes happened onto a business that reversed her status from working outside the home to having a home business.

Koester, a busy mother of two girls who is expecting her third child, sells hand-made blankets of soft fabrics, reversible bibs, burp clothes adorned with ribbons, baby hats, and towels stitched to resemble frogs and ducks.

Koester calls her business The Polka Dot Tot. Its most popular items are what Koester calls loveys, small 14-by-16-inch security blankets of snuggly fabrics made of two colors - one on each side. Loveys start at $25.

Blankets are made in a 29-by-35-inch baby size, 35-by-59-inch toddler size, and a 35-by-59-inch size for adults. All blankets, including the lovies, come in a variety of colors, including college team colors.
