Nature and all it’s beauty never fails to amaze me. This is my iris garden after a spring shower and a rainbow.

I have been really lucky to meet many mama’s growing their babies, meeting them shortly after their birth and teaching them how to sling their babies. Even luckier, I have had the opportunity to make these babies their first birthday present. This doll is for Natalie, her mama bought a Pandawrap before she was born and she specially ordered this doll to celebrate her baby’s special day one year later!
There are some great new prints for spring. This one is by far one of my favourites, purple disco dot trim on espresso organic twill. I also have new fabrics for the PandaWrap, this is a 70% bamboo 30% organic cotton blend and comes in a beautiful raisin colour. The fabric is silky soft, lightweight but very supportive and just the right amount of stretch. I had the opportunity to take this wee tiny baby for a walk last week in the wrap and it was so sweet and cozy!
May has been busy for me, lots and lots of sewing, the K-W Baby and Toddler show, bike riding with my family and so much more.
I have two new retailers for my slings, one in nearby Cambridge and one in the beautiful city of North Bay where I grew up and my family still lives. Bush Babies Baby Boutique carries many great natural parenting products, cloth diapers, carriers, amber necklaces and so much more, their customer service is amazing! Ecobabies is located in the Eaton Family Health Care Clinic in Cambridge, they also offer cloth diapers, stainless steel drinking bottles, BabyLegs and lots more! I am so excited to be working with two more like-minded ‘mompreneurs’ promoting natural parenting. It is so great to have companies supporting Canadian made work-at-home ‘Mama’ businesses! Thank you!!

the end of march already….
March 31, 2009 at 3:55 am (Uncategorized)
I was so very busy in March preparing for the Stitch N Kitsch Spring Show & Sale. I had a great day, it’s always so nice to see old friends and new, and meet lots of mamas with bellies and babies! There were so many beautiful things there as well, we have so much amazing local talent 
Spring has come with so many blessings, my sister is in remission, for more we could not ask. I am so glad she is on her way to being well, she still has a lot of treatments ahead of her but she is such a fighter, we are all so proud of how strong she has been through all of this. Thank you to all of you for your kind words, prayers and thoughts.
We have no snow left and the kids and I have been out on our bikes and getting fresh air, time for me to shed my hibernation pounds! ha ha ha
I have a few more dolls made, you can find them on my site or on etsy
Stay tuned… this week I am going to post a Sewfunky Sling Give-Away to celebrate Spring!

sisters
It’s very cold here, about -20 degrees.. we have been spending a lot of time indoors snuggled up in blankets. These are two sweet little dolls I made for two sisters birthday gifts. They have beautifully soft alpaca wool hair.
Waldorf Mermaid Doll
This mermaid is one I started working on in December, she has beautiful hair.. slub wool and bits of handspun beauty blended in.
needlefelting
M has been busy needle felting.. mushrooms of course 
We all spent a few days with sore bellies sleeping the day away on the couch. Of course M got better first and wanted to keep busy!
sewfunky doll sling
Perfect for Valentine’s Day <3
This is a cranberry hemp adjustable doll sling with an appliqued tie-dyed heart (tie-dying by Julia of course) modelled by my reluctant little princess and her snow leopard that we have to take everywhere
This month is M’s 5th birthday she is wanting a special mermaid doll with pink and purple hair and blue and purple eyes.. I have the perfect handspun wool for it and I’m looking forward to making it. I also have some beautiful new sling fabric’s that I just need to take photos of to get up on my website. If only I had a baby to model them with or a mannequin that actually stood upright! Stay warm everyone
Almost done..

After a busy pre-holiday season I am looking forward to some rest and time to be with my family. I can’t wait to go visit my sister after Christmas, I will feel so much better when I see her.
I just dropped off my last order for the season, a beautiful little doll for a holiday birthday. I was so lucky to meet this sweet little baby when she was only a few days old and taught her mama how to use the PandaWrap and I feel very special that I got to make her birthday present for her first birthday. Her doll has amazing bamboo/wool hair, it’s so soft, like silk and a wool knit dress. We also sent along a cute little kid sling from us, so she can ‘wear her baby’
I still have presents to wrap and a sewing room to clean up and some baking to do. Ooo and snow to shovel.. there is always snow to shovel.
My sister Leslie
December 19, 2008 at 5:23 pm (family)
Those of you who know me probably have heard. My youngest sister Leslie was diagnosed with acute leukemia on Wednesday, December 10th. She has started a blog of her journey to getting well from her hospital bed in the oncology clinic where she is undergoing chemotherapy.
Please take the time to leave her a comment. Think of how much a kind word, a touch, a smile can mean to someone facing a huge battle. Knowing there are people praying for you, thinking of you and sending you positive energy can make the world of difference when you need it.
eta : Leslie decided to make her blog private right now, so you can leave a comment to her on this post if you like and I will pass it on.
My sister is an amazing woman, she is kind and compassionate, she loves animals and children, she helps everyone she can. She feels passionate about the environment and devoted her career to helping children. She is the kind of woman that children adore, ready to play and have fun at any time. Leslie has a whole house filled with pets that she loves dearly. This next few weeks in the hospital, away from her husband and her family and her home will not be easy. I just want her to know that we are all right there with her, supporting her every step of the way until she is back home again.
