These are a few of my Favorite Things

See the problem is, I've got about 10 different designs of things I want to make. They are all sitting scribbled out waiting for me to have time to get to them. I was certain that I'd have them up by now, but I've been too busy with the actual orders. So it's all coming. I promise it is.

Coordinating Mommy Bag- Sure you want it to fit a diaper and wipes, but you're the one carrying it. MAKE IT HOT! Made to match your Sugar Sling or Sugar Tai. It's coming, I promise!

Snuggle Pods^TM- Keep that baby warm and snuggled when your sling's not enough. Works with slings, car seats, strollers and highchairs. COMING THIS FALL

Peek a Boobs- For the proud momma who breastfeeds in public with confidence...except for the fact that her belly is showing.....hmmmm DUE IN June

Excuse Me, Have You Seen My Stapler?

So, we started looking at office space yesterday. It was exciting and not nearly as discouraging as I thought it would be. I'm looking forward to having a little space outside of my house. Currently we are working out of my kitchen and living room. doesn't sound too awful, I know. But you have to keep in mind that there are 5 people living in this little 1100 square foot shoe box.

I bought Selah (4 1/2) a toy sewing machine to 'zow' at the other end of the dining room table with me. It's precious. I'll get a photo of it up here sometime. Jacob wants one now, too. But I'm not so sure about getting another. I'm a toy task master. Not enough space, so sister will share hers for now. Jacob is happy while I sew as long as he has his "Baaa" sheep in his toy sling and sunglasses on. See photo.

I sew while Lucas naps, or is on my back in his Sugar Tai. Big surprise there :) Ok, off to finish some orders.

One Foot in Front of The Other

I'd been throwing the idea around to start this business for at least a year. Babywearing, breastfeeding tops, toys, accessories... I have all these designs in my head that DESERVE to be made and blessing people everywhere. I've dreamed about it, thought about it, talked about it. I finally put one foot in front of the other and started walking it out.


I kept thinking I needed to save up so much money first, I needed to have a huge plan, I needed it all figured out.....blah, blah, blah. So this panicky feeling of overwhelm kept me back. Silly, I know, but it took me awhile to see past it.

This whole time I knew in the back of my head who I wanted to work with. Someone who was like me, but a mirror image. See, I can ghetto rig, create.. basically pull anything out of thin air if I really have to. You learn that the way I grew up. Feeding a family of 12 off of 3 cans and 2 chicken breasts can be done, and my mother is a miracle worked. Anyway, so I'm 80% visionary and 20% business. I really enjoy administrative work, weirdo that I am. What I needed was someone who was a flip flop version of me. Someone who would completely dedicate themselves to the vision and share it with me. Yet this perfect match needed to be 80% business and 20% creative visionary. And since I started daydreaming about this, I knew exactly who the perfect person would be.
Lani is all of those things and more. She has been working with me for the last 6 weeks or so and I think it's going to be even better than I thought. She's actually getting me organized and challenging me to shoot higher than I thought we would. And you know what? She's right. We can do this!!!

I love what I'm doing, except that I can't do it all. It's amazing. I projected a certain number of items I wanted to sell, and completely surpassed it. Not only that, I've found that I enjoy designing and playing with fabric even more and more. So reinforcements are in order! I am so excited to have Lani joining me as we get this business rolling.


Those are my thoughts for today. I have some orders to get out, so Id better get to stitchin'.

The Beginning

I'm a mom. I love being a mom. I have had 3 kiddos in 3 1/2 years. Motherhood is a constant transition, but having #3 really threw me a bit. You know why? I suddenly realized that I had more kids than hands to hold them. Thus the babywearing. I always wanted a third hand... I used carriers and slings with the first two, but now it's just getting better and better.

I'm from a family of 10 kids, homeschooled and all that jazz. Loved it, hope to do it...It's great. I remember my mom and her friends making slings when I was young. It was natural, normal.. exactly how I expected motherhood to be. Who knew I would have so much fun with it myself someday!

Well, that's a bit about me. Not much, but it's all this momma has time for at the moment. I hope you like what you see here. Feel free to email me suggestions or opinions to make my site better.
