PASO ROBLES, Calif., April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- At 47, Shelly Lewis calls herself a "Prime Time Woman." She has been married for 27 years and has three sons, two grandchildren - and a growing business.

Shelly Lewis is not alone. Between 1997 and 2006, the number of majority- women-owned businesses increased 42 percent, according to the Center for Women's Business Research (September 2006). She is relatively pathbreaking, however, in choosing her son as a business partner.

Shelly admits that it's a unique partnership. Her son Jon is just 21 and a

corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps. Yet this young veteran has gone from fighting in Iraq to playing a key role in the operation and success of http://www.cozycreations.com/.

Cozy Creations has created personalized knitted baby blankets for more than 19 years. While the company has developed a reputation in the industry for quality, the Lewises are intent on taking the business to a new level.

"Children are a blessing," says Shelly, "and our desire at Cozy Creations is to celebrate them as such."

Jon sees the venture as an opportunity to "knit his way to the American dream." While he may not do the actual knitting, Jon nurtures the company's growth by focusing on technological development and marketing.

Cozy Creations blankets are made of 100-percent acrylic yarn for warmth, softness and durability. Each side of the blanket is individually designed and machine-stitched, then finished by crocheting the two sides together. A blanket measures approximately 30 inches by 48 inches, the perfect size for cribs and cuddling. All blankets are completely machine-washable and -dryable. The cost is $129, and shipping is free in the United States.

The first side of the blanket features the child's name with complete birth information, date, time, weight and length. The second side can accommodate the child's first name, nickname or a short verse (40 characters or less). Due to the extensive personalization, delivery takes two to four weeks.

Cozy Creations blankets are available in six styles: Little Girl; Little Boy; Noah's Ark; Teddy Bear; Barnyard Buddies; and Jungle Friends. The nine color options include baby pink, bright pink, baby blue, country blue, royal blue, lavender, mint green, red, and rose.
