Paper is Back

When I first got my Etsy shop I actually started out with paper products and cards. I slowly migrated to knitting because with the intention of bringing the cards along for the ride. Somewhere along the way the cards got left on the curb, but now they're back! Check out our new card selections!

Balloon ornaments

A few years back Martha Stewart did a segment on making ornaments out of glue and string. I thought these were a great idea and was very eager to make them with my children. They are extremely simple and very elegant. This turned into a family tradition very quickly because not only does it produce a great product, it is a very messy process!
