<b><br /></b>
Recently, I recorded a family-nature cd with friends Carly Joynt, Katherine Peacock and Kristen Mundy, called "Little Wonders." It is a folky collection with some nice harmonizing voices, guitar, and djembe (courtesy of Luke Ruvolo). If you have little ones in your life, or just love simple nature songs it comes highly recommended.<br />

Toddler sizes with leather soles for increased traction and durability... but you don't lose any of that marvellous flexibility that allows tots to feel the earth's contours beneath their feet, and learn to walk properly in response to their own bodies and the natural curves of the ground.<br />
<br />
Bye-bye stiff soles and "blind" feet! Still made with 100% wool (excluding embellishments) and Canadian leather.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Home from the One of a Kind Show... how wonderful it was to be in a "happy booth," with people giving me smiles and coos all day long-- because who can resist baby stuff?? Thank you to everyone who visited my booth; your positive energy definitely kept me going!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have some extra inventory, so I thought I'd offer a little sale on the BumbleTush products. They are a dream come true in preventing and healing diaper rash- I highly recommend them for the diaper-wearers in your life. Here's an informative little blurb, in case you're not familiar with these So-Natural-You-Could-Eat-Them-If-You-Wanted-To products:</span></div>

With its base of </span><b>arrowroot powder</b><span style="background-color: white;"> (rather than commonly-used cornstarch), this powder is free of the starches which are known to feed fungal infections. The </span><b>kaolin clay</b><span style="background-color: white;"> assists in drawing out bacteria, while keeping baby’s tush dry and soft. The </span><b>lavender</b><span style="background-color: white;"> further acts as an antibacterial agent, and provides a lovely light fragrance to the powder, and my own home-grown </span><b>calendula </b><span style="background-color: white;">flowers soothe baby’s tender skin. (Also great for adults, to sprinkle into your shoes or onto your palms if you have a tendency towards clamminess)</span></span></div>

and moistens baby’s tush. The <b>Bo-Bo Butter</b> is a slightly
different product, more all-purpose for cuts, scrapes and other bo-bos. It
is much like to bum salve, but with the additional benefits of the following herbs,
wild-crafted from my backyard in the Beaver Valley: comfrey, St. John's
wort, plantain, voilet leaves, and of course calendulan and lavender.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 24.0pt;">M</span>y husband Skeet sensed I was pregnant even before
I did. He claims that as soon as I tenderly showed him the first little
brown-and-pink pair of baby booties I felted, he knew we must have a wee one on
the way. Sure enough, he turned out to
be right—although I might have gone with a different colour scheme had I known
our first born was to be a boy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since then I’ve felted
hundreds of pairs of booties, with the desire to bring soft warmth and comfort
to tiny precious feet everywhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want my babies to
always be able to feel the earth beneath their feet, its intricate contours, so
that they might learn to pattern their walking properly, in a way most healthy
for the alignment of their bodies, and with a feeling of connection to and
respect for the earth. Such soft-soled footwear allows for this in the gentlest,
quietest possible way. And so BumbleToes was born. For little Earth Walkers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am really excited about it, fantasizing about all the hundreds of pairs of booties I will make between now and then, and imagining all the cute little baby feet that will be wearing my soft creations next winter! Not to mention all the "troubled little tushies" that will be soothed by my bum powder and salve. I will also be making flannel-fleece baby sacks with hoods, which act as a final swaddling layer to be bundled around babies. They will have the option of being strapped into car seats, for travelling convenience cuteness and coziness!</span></span><br />

So cute!<br />
<br />
Despite using rubber gloves for much of the process, my hands are pretty dry and chapped after playing in so much hot water. My fingertips scrape the keys now and make the tiniest sandpapery noise...<br />
<br />
I've found it works great to re-use the water as I'm felting through the various layers, as the process requires lots of piping hot water and some soap--so it's definitely more efficient and environmentally-responsible to pour the used water back into the kettle, and stick it on top of the roaring wood stove. <br />
<br />
In other news, I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the first mosaic I made, a few weeks ago now, out of several broken dishes we have no trouble accumulating in our house. This sunflower sits atop a wooden box, in which many of my teas are kept:<br />

We just moved into this uniquely-designed house a couple of months ago, and it overlooks the Beaver Valley. What an incredible view we have from every window! And there are 100 acres of retired farm land in various stages of natural succession for our son to play on. There is many an apple tree to climb here, and in a few decades what are now sparsely-growing saplings will be towering oak tree Grandmother wonders for our great great great grandchildren to lie in the shade of.<br />
<br />
Here are a few images of my new studio space. There's always something on the go, so I tidied up for the "photo shoot" but we all know that there's usually a good spread of craftiness covering the tables, shelves and countertops...<br />
