I love to make things - everything. I can't stop, even though my family wishes I would sometimes.
My garden is my pride and joy.
I have three beautiful children (a boy and two girls) and when I play my cards right, my work can become their fun.
My shopping weakness is jewelry.
I watch with envy as my kids do amazing and fearless things every day. And I am so proud.My home office has become a store front.
I wish I could cook, even just one good dish.
My husband is an amazing man, who not only tolerates this world I've entered, but supports it (and sometimes helps).
I live in the best city in the world - Madison, Wisconsin. I know this because I've lived in a lot of places (Aberdeen, South Dakota; Lincoln, Nebraska; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona) and I love it here!
Nothing makes me happier than hearing someone tell me I got their idea for a design right.
And I'd love to make your next favorite piece!

Q: Do you accept returns?
A: Since all of our items are custom made, we cannot accept returns or give refunds. If your item arrived and it's not what you ordered, we will gladly accept the return and send you a correct item. Great care is put into packaging, but if an item arrived damaged, please contact us within five days of receiving your order and we will work with you to make it right. In some instances, we do accept the return of flip flops for wrong sizes, particularly for team items, which might fit another team members. Please contact us with any flip flop sizing issues.
Please note that our items are all handmade. On rare occasions, under heavy use, a bow may detach from a flip flop or clog. We recommend wearing these items with care in the appropriate situations. They may not be the best every day footwear for a child who, for example, scrapes the top of their foot on the ground as they swing. However, we do make our items to stand up to every day, normal wear. If you do happen to have a problem with an item purchased from us, please send an email and we will work with you to make things right.

A: Unless otherwise stated, all clothing items are machine washable, including ribbon shirts and tutus. Tutus tutu may arrive wrinkled from being packed in a box for shipping. To de-wrinkle your tutu simply shake it, fluff it out or wear it. The wrinkles will fall out quickly You can also hang the tutu up and lightly steam it or hang it in a humid area. Any embellishments on shirts or tutus are either removable or washable. Hair bows and bows on hats, skirts and shirts are removable and should not be washed.

A: All of our headbands are one size fits all and fit from newborn to adult. Kufi beanie hats come in two sizes - newborn and regular. Newborn fits up to about six months on average and regular sizes for babies six months and older, all they way up to most adults (snug on adults). Winter knit hats also run newborn (up to 6 months), and regular, which fits from 6 months to adult and fits nicely on an average woman's head. If you need larger sizes in the knit hats, please let me know.
