My latest work in progress, she still needs a few finishing touches and some wings!

summer has come and gone..

I am not a good blogger, I know this.. life is so busy its hard to take the time to sit and write.
This summer has been no exception, 2 beautiful weddings, new babies, lots and lots of slings were made, many days at the park.  I spent much of the summer following my kids around the [...]

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 [...]

stitching away

Isn’t she sweet? She has silk/wool Noro Blossom yarn for hair.  She is made with organic cotton skin and local wool for stuffing.  She has become one of my favourites by far!
Life has been busy, sewing, gardening and spring cleaning.  We had a lovely time at the spring fair at our local waldorf school.  It [...]

spring at last… thank goodness

Well  i hope this really means I can put away all the mittens, hats, scarves and snowsuits of six people for good.. what spring does mean is that I get to follow my 4 year old around the block 27 times a day on her tricycle, who’s to argue, it’s been a long winter!
I have [...]

is it spring yet…

it’s what everyone is wondering.. will the snow ever be gone?
Well we had a good week of the stomach flu at our house.. thank goodness I didn’t get it!  But it was a long week of caring for sick children and a sick husband.  I didn’t get a lot of sewing done as I had [...]
