and we're nailin' it!
Village Blocks: I am in love with how these turned out. I have these set up on our mantle as a very simple Christmas Village. And love the look. And love that Lu can play with and rearrange them too! I created them for us to use at Christmas, but these can be used to […]
The Alphabet Fun listing on Etsy has been a hit and we’ve sold a lot of letters! We started thinking having the option to personalize this more and giving the option to purchase specific letters for a name would be fun! So I started by making Brooks, Lucian, and their buddy Owen a set! These […]
We have been working on identifying shapes with Brooks and he loves building and knocking right now so these shape blocks bring a lot of fun and learning. Also, since we have sets of numbers and letters in the shop, I wanted to add shapes to this collection as well. I wanted these to be […]
A few weeks ago, Jennie and I had our 100th Etsy sale! We are so excited about this milestone. Etsy has picked up in the last few months and we have also had some newly loyal customers coming back for more, which we obviously love. It was perfect when we realized that our 100th online […]
This has been a project I have been thinking about for a while now! I finally decided to sit down and design it. I am so happy I did, I really love the way these turned out! Brooks talks about the weather a lot from the sun, rain, clouds, wind, and storms. With this project […]
One of my favorite things to teach about at the museum was bees, and we plan to plant a wildflower field at our house for bees too. So, I have been thinking about these bee blocks for awhile. Now, that I am finished, I love them! Lucian saw them and said “Oh wow, Mom! You […]
Fall brings all things sweaters, boots, cozy cuddle weather, beautiful leaves, pumpkin patches and apple picking, FUN holidays, and FUN toys to go along with that! We had a lady reach out to see if we were going to make any Thanksgiving push/pull toy and boy are we glad she did! We LOVE custom work […]
Y’all, I am so excited about this week’s project. When Jennie and I first started, I only had a laser engraver/cutter and was VERY limited in what I could do as far as toys go. Looking back, I am not super proud of the project. The idea was good, but I have grown so much […]
This project came to mind after Brooks and I took a trip to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden to see the butterflies in their butterfly pavilion exhibit. We were able to see the eggs, caterpillars (larvae), Chrysalis (pupa), and butterflies. It was really neat and I started thinking about making something to help teach life cycles […]
Lucian loves to pretend to be on the phone. He also loves to Facetime his grandparents! He asks for this often. His imagination seems to be growing really quickly these days. All of his toys are getting names and carrying on conversations with each other. He has certainly inherited my love for talking. Someone go […]
