End of winter round up!
March 10, 2012
I am so excited to be part of a Canadian Artisan Feature over at Little Wool Maus! Stop by her lovely blog to read more about natural family living, motherhood, delicious recipes and amazing sewing projects. She just gave birth to her second baby, so exciting! She also wrote about her Sewfunky Sling when she had her first baby, such beautiful pictures!
This is the time of year where I get organized for upcoming shows, just 5 weeks until Stitch ‘n’ Kitsch! Hard to image we are that close to Spring, I’m so excited! I’m picking out so many new fabrics for bonnets and sweet dresses! There is also a bunch of new sling prints available for 2012 with more to come. Just waiting to hear back from another show I applied to.
We also have lots of excitement in our own backyard, now that the foundation has been mended we can start some serious gardening. Last summer our whole garden was chaos and concrete, with many hours of digging, jackhammering, wheelbarrowing to make it ready to move forward. Now with a dry basement our gardening ideas are no longer on hold. Herbs, lettuce, kale, tomatos, peas and radishes, so excited! I hope my irises and strawberries survived being in pots all winter!
Yesterday we finally restocked all the Baltic Amber Necklaces, lots to choose from – and more are arriving next week, matching necklaces for Mama and baby bracelets/anklets too! They go fast, so if you have a teething baby send me an email!
Well I’m off to sew, trying to get the jump on Spring, it will be here before you know it!

Baby Molly Auction
January 31, 2011
Please take a few minutes to visit the amazing Fundraiser Auction for Molly Campbell held by the kind-hearted Christina at Bamboletta Dolls.
You will have the option of bidding on many beautiful handmade items or donating directly with all proceeds to be give to the Baby Molly Trust.
Molly was diagnosed with leukemia at one month old just before Christmas. She is the youngest of five children for the Campbell family.
I know all too well of the struggles this family is facing right now. It is the exact same type of leukemia that my sister Leslie so bravely battled.
When I think of how much it helped all of us, to know people were supporting her fight, giving what they could to help us through, it made the world of difference. To have a meal, a place to stay, childcare, a ride helped so much to enable my family to be with my sister as much as possible. The financial worry is immense in a time like this and your auction donation will help them so much!
I was honoured to donate something I made in my sister’s memory to help out this family. If you would like to donate directly you can here, or you can bid on the many items up for auction.
Some of the many things available are :
Beautiful Waldorf Dolls made by the talented Bamboletta Team :
Many hand-knit with love items :
Handmade clothing for both dolls and children :
Hand crafted Wooden Toys :
Matching Mama & Child Organic Slings
and SO much more.
Update:
Bamboletta and friends raised over $23,000 for the Campbell Family!
Summer is over already!
September 9, 2010
Well I dropped the ball on blogging this summer, so busy with a full house and a full plate.
Over the summer I made some dolls….
A Waldorf Pixie Doll for a little girl’s birthday <3 She has beautiful fair trade Manos hair, a butterfly dress and hemp pants with cotton knits booties!
A birthday doll with silk hair and a tutu went off to a special girl.
My friend and I made a doll together for her daughter’s birthday gift!
Making silk slings for new babies! Silk is sooo beautiful!
I took my girl canoeing on the river, she had so much fun!
I met lots of new babies and wonderful people over the summer. I also recieved so many lovely babywearing pictures from amazing friends and customers! I made a LOT of slings this summer and added two new stores to our retailer list. Feeling so blessed to be working with so many amazing women promoting natural parenting!
We got in some beautiful fairy post cards for the website
And now on to fall… will be posting more soon!

May…
May 22, 2010
Our days are busy as always.. grateful for lots of nice weather and time outside. M wanted to take her dolly bike riding so I sewed her a mini-mei-tai as she stood by my side eagerly waiting. So cute!
Losing teeth has been a weekly event around here.. seems like every 4 or 5 days someone has a tooth to put under their pillows… growing so fast!
M and her friend had so much fun wearing their daisy crowns.. we have people leaving quotes for lawn care all the time but we love our yellow flowers!
This year I got the best mother’s day card ever :
‘Mom You are so smart and awsome and you are good at showing (sewing) and you are the best mom in the world. Dear Mom, You are as cool as ice. I love you more than anything. You make me feel happy. I love you because you are mother nature. by B
This is one of of the dolls I made this past month, a mermaid with a purple velvet tail and rainbow silk wool hair.
This is another, she has amazing all silk neapolitan hair, so soft!
This one had amazing wool silk for hair spun by the Fleece Artist. I love all her work and wish I could use it for all my dolls! She went for a little one’s first birthday.
I love making dolls, I wish I had more time to devote to it because I have so many dreamt up ideas in my head.
Well that is most of my my past month.. May has gone by fast, spring has brought lots of new babies needing slings!
Every day is ♥ Earth Day ♥
