About Me

as my king & i try to move away from babylon, we have found ourselves creating hand crafted, one of a kind goods. as an experienced seamstress & a new mama, i've begun combining those loves & creating baby wearing goods. getting inspiration from all the different traditional ways to wear your baby, i create mei tais & podageis. i always have some on hand for sale, & can custom make whatever you desire. keep checking back for new goods up for sale, or contact me for information on custom orders. in addition to the baby wearing apparel, i also create patchwork purses/bags, skirts, pants, shorts... really whatever you want. thanks for helping my family to be able to spend more time with each other & not in the urban jungle. ~bless~

My Interests

one of a kind, upful creations. sewing, creating. all of the earth's blessed beings. primatology and behavioral ecology. organic, subsistance and minimal impact living. vegan/ital livity. environment and animal protection. alternative energy, living and medicine. homeopathy. meditation, yoga. world religions. world travel. feeling the rhythms of the djembe, djun djuns and didgeridoo. Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Hermit card. The Hermit has chosen a solitary spiritual path. He shines light on his inner self and, by this means, gains wisdom. The Hermit's home is the natural world and it is by being in tune with that world that he learns the laws of nature and learn how they operate within himself. His path is a lonely one as he lives in silence and has for companionship only his own internal rhythms. But those crossing his path are touched by his light and wisdom. Though often alone, he manages nevertheless to instruct those who meet him and guides those who chose to follow him on a path towards enlightenment.
