Come check out yours truly at the market on 🪻April 25th🪷

I will have lots in stock and perfect gifts for babies and moms for mother's day

These are becoming a new fave of mine!! Especially since figuring out they perfectly cover my daughter's snack bowl, you know, the ones with the no-spill tops that they stick their little hands thru and grab a fist full of cheerios? Yeah, those ones! Also great for covering Mason jars!

Come claim yours anytime, or drop by the Cochrane Farmer's Market on April 25th at the SLS center and come find my table 😉

A couple of weeks ago, we finished granny squares off by putting them together in a little blanket and adding a border.

This week we're moving on to mittens!! Stay tuned for photos from tonight's class!

Another stock refresh, and still more to come as I prepare for market season!!

These bibs are awesome, I made 10 for my daughter and were a must-have for her as a new eater. We found the silicon bucket bibs to be too big and cumbersome for a new little eater so I made these with a cute cotton front, a waterproof backing to keep your little one dry and a layer of batting for absorbency sandwiched in-between for functionality! While we use the bucket bibs a lot now, these still remain in rotation depending on what our 17 month old is eating.

This weekend I was creative in a different way and helped to celebrate a gender reveal for some good friends. So fun and so happy to be part of planning committee for their special day.
