SewFunky

We are starting a new article, every week we will tell you a little bit about some of the
products we carry and the company's they come from.

SewFunky Ontario's Tanja Mackenzie is a momma of 4 and the creator of SewFunky. She has been sewing her amazing creations for 15 years, they can be be found all across the globe. She is the maker of our beautiful Ring Slings and Organic Bamboo Panda Wraps. Tanja has become a great friend and very wise in the ways of Babywearing, homeschooling and cloth diapering. Kristina and I searched high and low for the best made slings and wraps and we were led to Tanja.
I am a huge lover of the Ring Sling, come by the store and you'll see little Maile snuggled to me.
I find it easy to use, fits in your bag, easy to wash and versitle. The sling can be used from birth until over 40lbs. My toddler loved the "supported piggy back" position well past age 2. For Maile my favorite carry is on the hip. That way baby can interact with me as well as the outside world. The extra long stylish "tail" makes a great cover for sun/rain and nursing privacy.
My favorite perk is the ease of use, it literally takes me 2 seconds to get Maile in the sling and we are on our way into the grocery store. No buckles no adjusting no thinking about which coat to wear so my carrier fits. The quality in Tanja's work is 2nd to none as all pieces are handmade and most fabrics are certified organic! Tanja can also make a matching toddler sling to carry around a baby just like mom ;)
Come on down to the store and see why we love to support this talented Stay at Home Mom.
Yeah SewFunky!!

Happy New Year!


Thanks everyone for a great Holiday Season! Now it's back to the grind... Our diaper workshop
is still set for Jan 12 at 6pm. This class is full but if you have pre-registered then you will be getting a reminder email a few days before.
We have some great new diaper products coming in, Diaper Odor remover, Bamboo wipes, Organic prefolds, and some locally made spray on "wipes" solution. We have also put in a huge Jamtots order to get those so popular Large Wet/laundry bags, we have a hard time keeping those in store, so if you are waiting they are coming this week.
Something exciting!.....If any of you mommas are thinking of Private school for your kiddo's or would like to learn more, there is going to be a Waldorf private school opening up next fall here in the valley. You can email Rebecca saltwaterschool@yahoo.ca for more details or stop into the store.
On the Waldorf note; we have a large catalouge if your looking for homeschool supplies or specialty items. We are also bringing in many more Waldorf art supplies and open ended toys.
All the best for a great 2009!
Peace

My New Favorite!


Ta-Da!!! Happy Heiny's One-Size Snaps! And my first impression is how trim these are. They did a great job with the Aplix/Velcro version, but snaps make laundry duty so much better.
Don't get me wrong velcro definitly has it's place(when toddlers are running mid diaper change)
But I am a snap lover. The new colors and prints are so cute too. It still comes with 2 great microfiber inserts! All bundled up for only $24!

The Arrival of Stockmar

"He, who works with his hands, is a workman.
He, who works with his hands and his head, is a craftsman.
He, who works with his hands and his head and his heart, is an artist."Francis of Assisi




Stockmar art supplies are Waldorf approved and they are used in Waldorf schools worldwide.

As our business grows we will be bringing in alot more from Stockmar and their partners, Artemis and Lyra.

Yeah!!!!
