Stick Horse


Everyone is welcome and encouraged to touch and try out these Horses.
They are made of reclaimed wool, collaged and felted.
The stick inside is Bamboo to keep the Horse as light as possible.

This fun and fluffy toy is great for Children to experience texture and encourage them to use their Imagination.


Leather Earrings


Leather Earrings are wonderful especially since they become different with time.
Every type of Leather has a mind of its own and will change accordingly in softness and shape (twisting and relaxing). When they are worn often and touch the skin and hair, they will show you their true beauty.

Plush Building Blocks

These Plush Building Blocks are very Kid friendly.
The cover is made of 100% pre-washed/shrunk cotton around upholstery foam.

If they ever get dirty they can be thrown into the Washing Machine and then the Dryer.

A Set comes with 6 blocks that are all unisex in color. These are made so that the Sets can be combined for even more building fun!!

Pin Cushion


Here are images of current work that is available for sale.
These Pin Cushions are very handy to have around, they are always there for you because they don't get lost.
With a plastic insert to keep the needles from coming through, there is no danger of getting stabbed.

They are made of Hand-dyed reclaimed cotton.

It's almost Christmas time, and I'm hard at work on all of my presents, of course they will be mostly hand made. It means more this way and people will get to know how much I care about them.
I'm in the middle of contemplating life, and what I want out of it. There are so many opportunities out there and I'm not sure which way to go. 
Should I do the internship with a pattern drafter and perfect that aspect of my clothing design? 
I have been making more accessories and Children's toys recently and taken a break from clothing, but it seems to be pulling be back in. So I'm working on a few pieces for myself that I have been thinking about for a long time and I'm happy about that.

The big Q! hanging over my head is for what will I do for money and for a job? Do I want to continue working this way, or should I decide on a course of action. But it is so hard to know what I really want to do without having tried things out first. But then, it's not possible to try out absolutely everything, sometimes you just have to jump in feet first and hope for the best.

Sometimes I should just take my own advice and stop complaining and most of all just stop over-thinking!!
