Family Nature CD

Woodlandy Dandies - "Little Wonders" 

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.

Christmas One of a Kind Show and Sale 2013

Getting ready for the 2013 One of a Kind Show and Sale in Toronto!

Here are some of my latest creations, wearable art for babies and tots.

Recent Workshop and New Creations

My friends Brooke and Emily recently joined me in a booty-making felting workshop, at Kimbercote, in the hills of the Beaver Valley. Visit Brooke's Wild Woman blog for the story and some lovely pictures of our venture, at the link below:

OOAK Winter 2013

Our Study Story is being shared in the One of a Kind Show Winter 2013 EZINE.

Read the entire OOAK EZINE.

Toddler Tootsie Warmers

They're finally here! 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.

Bye-bye stiff soles and "blind" feet! Still made with 100% wool (excluding embellishments) and Canadian leather.

Pre-Christmas Sale on Bum Care Goodness

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!

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:

An excellent diaper rash preventative and healer.  With its base of arrowroot powder (rather than commonly-used cornstarch), this powder is free of the starches which are known to feed fungal infections. The kaolin clay assists in drawing out bacteria, while keeping baby’s tush dry and soft. The lavender further acts as an antibacterial agent, and provides a lovely light fragrance to the powder, and my own home-grown calendula 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)

Made with a base of natural olive and coconut oils and high-quality beeswax. Like the powder, the salve has the antibacterial benefits of lavender and the soothing quality of calendula. Soothes, softens and moistens baby’s tush.  The Bo-Bo Butter 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.

“I live in Germany and Kate sends me the powder and salve because I can’t find anything else that works as well. I put it on at the first sign of redness, and it disappears overnight.”

                                             – Jennie Derenzis, Gangelt Germany

“I was not able to use conventional diaper powder because it gave my daughter a rash but this powder is soothing and great for use with cloth diapers, since they get wetter than disposables against by daughter's skin. I use it for my baby's diaper routine and as a deodorant for myself.”

                                            – Serena Guenter, Fergus Ontario

“I have a lot of allergies and sensitivities, so I am careful about what products I use. This salve is great for everything, I love that it's natural, with only a few ingredients.”

                                            – Jane Jones, Nobel Ontario

2-oz bum or bo-bo salve: $6 (regular $9 and $10)
