*sigh*

of relief!

When I began designing children's things and opened my shop not too long ago, I knew nothing of the CPSIA legislation, so imagine my shock when I began hearing about it and reading the requirements for makers of children's items! Third party testing for my handmade items?? By February 10, 2009?? Impossible!

Thank goodness the CPSC listened to the cries of the many crafters across the U.S. Yesterday, they voted to suspend testing requirements for another year until the details are worked out - phew! Read it here for more info...

And please... continue to support handmade and write your legislator to keep it alive!!

This Is Me

So... I just started this blog and I thought at first that it'd just be my craft blog, to chronicle the things I make for my shop.
But, it turns out that lollipop kids is about so much more than my crafting. It's about my crazy life with my two lollipop kiddos. It's about the early morning wake-ups and the late-night sewing madness. It's about the joys and frustrations of being a full-time employee, mommy, wife, and crafter. It's about me.
So here I am... stay tuned!

In love, love, love

I am currently obsessed with all things valentine, especially the line at Target. Have you seen it? *sigh* I heart Target. Seriously. Look at my latest finds...

That little owl completes me. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to drink coffee from this mug!

And speaking of Valentine's Day... I have another apron ready for the shop...

Stop by and see me on etsy!

V-Day goodies

I live in a great little town that I love, but I've found that it lacks a good place to go and get unique children's gifts... so I decided to just make my own and name it after my kiddos love for sweets on a stick. I give you... Lollipop Kids!

I've been working on these items for my etsy store and now I can share them with you.

Come see me on etsy!
