Starting my baby clothing line

I love to design clothes, tattoos, cook, bake, and craft of any kind.  I have 2 daughters.  The oldest is 21 months, and the youngest is 7 months.  I love them, so I make clothes for them.  Then I decided, I shall make clothes for the masses.  Really, it's a very small population, as I can only sew so much.  The name of my baby clothing line is pintsized.  I started it in fall of 2010.  Since I live on the island of Kaua'i, I started to do local craft shows with a modest profit.  I just placed my garments in a local consignment shop with a 50/50 split.  Most shops I approached offer a 60/40 split favoring the shop owner.  I realize that I don't make as much money keeping some of my inventory in the consignment shop, but, it's last season's designs.  This upcoming season is all about desserts.  Cupcakes, ice cream, and candies are all the rage thanks to Katy Perry.  (I don't even know if I spelled her name right).  This onesie is made with a Micheal Miller fabric.  I put accent ruffles on the bottom and chest with halter straps.  I also put snaps at the crotch for quick diaper changes.  It's the cutest thing to see the ruffles bounce when she runs!
