To keep a handmade item looking its best, handwash first. Always let air-dry.

You can machine wash most of my stuffed creations-- but only in a front-load washer. The agitator in a top-loader is too aggressive for the hand-stitched details.

Some specialized photo props may not be washable, but that is something that will be discussed case-by-case.

The first 400 or so carrots were made by me with some help from my erstwhile assistant Nancy (hey Nancy!). After that, to keep up I partnered with the American Bear Company in Phoenix, AZ. They allow small designers to get batches as small as 50 pieces made in their woman-owned factory. My carrots, lemons, lime and blueberries are now made and shipped from there.

If that bums you out that it didn't come directly from me, I get that. Deciding to have an outside manufacturer make some of my products was a hard decision, made after constant hand-sewing gave me repetitive stress injuries. Every item in my store will say whether or not someone has helped me make it-- that's my promise!

I am prepared to fill wholesale orders for my large and medium carrots, blueberries, lemons and limes. Shipping is to be paid for by the buyer. If you would like anything else, please ask!

Want something special? Just ask- I love to make things in different colors, sizes, with arms, faces, pockets. A small charge is added to the price for color changes.

Because my items are so so big, I can't wrap them in a giant box and then put them in a slightly larger box. I do wrap them all in tissue paper and will include a handwritten gift card. For small items such as headbands, hats or masks, I wrap them cutely with tissue paper and washi tape.

I don't think I can say because of the NDA, so I'll go with a mushroom cloud hand puppet or an anthropomorphized uterine fibroid.

Twice! My Giant Carrot Body Pillow was talked about on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (Parker Posey won it at a white elephant part at Questlove's house!!!) and also as a prop on the last season of VEEP.

I like my creations to each have their own personality- the one you give it. If you would like a face on yours, let's talk about the exact face you want.

Geez, I don't know! What is up with that, J.R.R. Martin?
