These are my teething toys, called Gum Nubs.

They are made from 100% cotton, then dyed with food dyes

(except for the one with the bright blue centre.

The nubs can be dipped in water and then frozen for your child to teeth on.

They are also a great soft toy that fits nicely in a infants hands.

I have been experimenting with some natural dyes and cotton yarn. Hopefully these will become crocheted teething toys. The yellows are turmeric and the brown is onion skins. Willow is now teaching her children (dolls) to dye yarn.

These are some stack able trees I made last year. It was so wonderful to see how much my daughter enjoyed them this year. They are almost indestructible, can be stepped on and crumpled up and they will pop back to shape. Willow would arrange them in our window in such beautiful ways....I didn't realize until coming home one day I saw them from the outside and it made my heart smile (my lips too).

This picture struck me as funny because I had pulled out all our disposable diapers that we use for night times and going out and they had all landed right by the clothe diaper pail. Funny right, well maybe you had to be there or have a strange sense of humor.
