Beeswax Linen Bibs – v1.0

I’m in love with beeswax-treated textiles. They repel moisture and soil naturally, and they smell amazing! I’ve been working on some new products using this wonderful technique. Here is a sneak peek of the bib. Look for it at the spring One of a Kind Show in Toronto.

Christmas Project 2009

Every year, I do a production run of a craft or something edible to give to friends and family as small Christmas tokens.  Last year it was candied orange peel dipped in chocolate – Yum! This year I decided to start a new tradition of creating a limited edition print on a dish towel. Everyone uses them, and they are inexpensive to ship! The added benefit is that it gives me a much-treasured opportunity to experiment in the studio. This design was made by drawing directly on to an open screen using a semi-permanent screen filler. Here is the result:

One of a Kind Xmas 2009 Wrap-Up

The Christmas One of  Kind Toronto is over for another year. This was Ollie Golightly’s second year at the show, and once again, it was excellent! We saw many new parents and babes using their Ollie Golightly slings bought at previous shows. We demonstrated ring sling carrying positions to HUNDREDS of people, and were thrilled to see many new customers walk away happily slinging their children.  A few adventurous moms even got the hang of nursing in their new slings and were able to continue on with the show while their babies snacked. We even had one customer buy a sling for their miniature-poodle (not the first dog-sling for Ollie Golightly!)

Our Squirrel print Toddler Tee was featured on the spring OAKS promo!

Thanks so much to Sydney from Just The Facts, Baby (an excellent Canadian parenting blog!) and Christine from Momzelle (fantastic Canadian-made nursing tops) for helping out.
