It is often the little things in life that bring us the greatest delight, sometimes even without our knowing it. Children never think to question putting a small treasure in their pocket—a golden acorn cap, a bluejay feather, or a smooth beach stone—and find wonder in the simple pleasures of the natural world.

I opened the Wee Things Fiber Arts studio in 2014, inspired by my toddler’s endless curiosity and amazement in our natural environment. Each handmade toy and fiber artwork is a unique creation that goes through many iterations of design, fabrication, and detailing as I explore the object’s shape and individual character. Most designs also go through a key test phase with my two children! The end result is an original design, lovingly embellished with natural fibers and often incorporating needle felting or embroidery--an heirloom toy or work of art that I hope your loved one will adore.

As my children have grown, I've been pleased to watch their own love of making and appreciation for materials grow, too. They've now inspired a new line of hand-sewing kits that enable me to share my love of craft with others, both young and old. My latest series of Kinder Kits provide simple hands-on projects for even preschool age children. More difficult kits, such as my Seal Family, are directed towards experienced adult and pre-teen crafters. An eco-friendly studio, I use only natural materials and often feature up-cycled fabrics, such as gently used wool and cotton clothing. Wee Things are made with love for the goodness of the planet and your family.
