Mat on the move #Review

BettesDaughter is a lifelong sewer who has turned to Etsy to share her craft. Custom-made at an affordable price, this is a shop I've been waiting to promote. Carmel sent me this delightfully cosmopolitan $20.96CAD baby changing mat that will be a very pretty portable necessity for the little one. When folded, it's handy size fits easily into a purse!

Outside is girly pink vine printed heavy cotton:

A decorative floral closure band covers a pink velcro simple closure:

Inside is contemporary grey and white tile patterned vinyl:

Do not put in dryer as exposure to heat might melt the waterproof plastic layer!

Handiwork for hibernating hands #Review

I've been preoccupied with real-life rather than online-life lately. Summer's slipped right by me and now we're headed into autumn! These $18.79CAD classic striped mittens with string from TillyandLola Etsy shop arrived from the UK just in time as the chill is starting to set in.

Handmade in luxurious cashmerino wool, these thumbless mittens are going to be soft snug winter-wear companions. Coral and charcoal grey colors contrast pleasingly, making the beautifully knitted stitches truly stand out.

The sturdy string strives to keep your child's fancy mittens from getting lost. Put on one mitten, route the other with the string up the coat sleeve, across the back, and down the other sleeve to reach the other hand!

On the move #Review

Moving out of an apartment in the city to an older home in the mountain-side suburbs means everyone getting accustomed to draftier conditions. 

In a timely collaborative effort, I received sophiezhappy Etsy store's best-seller silvery grey wool blend children's infinity scarf:

as well as this one in a WestCoast mix of brown, green and blue:

Sophie created this crochet pattern for her daughter. She designed the cowl in such a way that it is not cumbersome during play and cannot be easily pulled off. Priced at $18.00CAD, these twice wrapped comfortable circle scarves are made to order for each client as "mini couture crochet".
