I was just randomly browsing through the great 'world' of Etsy and found these sweet store... The bootie and rattle sets melted my heart! So of course, I had to show them off and melt your heart as well!

My daughter's little piggies just keep growing so darned fast, I wonder if these can be made in her size.. hmm... (Can be made up to 12 months, I'm in luck!)

They're just too cute to pass up! I am a huge sucker for baby booties..

Which set is your favorite?

Mine is the pink with the daisy

"The love of crafting was inspired within me through my mother's example. I would sit next to her for hours while she knit or crochet and soon I learned to hold a crochet hook before I learned to hold a pencil. By the age of five, I had mastered the art of crochet well enough to create my own designs, soon I learned to knit. I hope that by my example my now young children are inspired with the love of creating as I was at their age. "

"Welcome!

Here you will find my original designs for baby accessories and toys, such as my original Rattle Booties and Wrist Rattle Developmental Gift Set!

As a young girl sitting next to my patient, loving grandmother learning to sew my first patchwork quilt on a summer's day, I fell in love with textiles. Their textures, feel, colours and shapes really touched me. I have been designing and creating with textiles for many years. My craft has included sewing, loom weaving, clothing design, crafting, spinning and knitting. I am very particular about workmanship, beautiful design and using the best, most sustainable fabrics that are available for items that will be very durable and functional.

My real joy is creating things for our children and grandchildren to wear, cuddle in, or play with. One of my goals is to create clothes, toys and accessories that help to promote imaginary play and interest in nature.

Conscious of the impact of harmful chemicals on us, our children and our environment, I've tried to use the most natural fabrics I can in my designs. I use exclusively natural fibers: cotton, wool, silks, bamboo and organic and upcycled fabrics wherever possible.

I have had an etsy shop since December(about 4 mos) and have been working with textiles for many, many years sewing, weaving, spinning, knitting, crafting etc. I especially love designing with organic fabrics, upcycled or vintage fabrics and wools, silks, bamboos as well. I want organic to be fun, colorful and vibrant as well as functional. My favorite item right now would probably be a wool stuffed octopus made with upcycled vintage Guatemalan fabrics, handwoven by women there for their blouses/tops.
