New to the shop!

I've started carrying extra large flannel receiving blankets. You can't find these in stores, and store-bought ones are not big enough to swaddle more than a newborn.

These blankets come in a variety of prints (more are constantly being listed), are lightweight and useful for a variety of purposes.

Some of the uses for these blankets are:

-swaddling (big enough to swaddle even a toddler)

-nursing cover (allows you to nurse in public very discreetly)

-changing pad (rolls up small, and can slip into any bag for quick diaper changes)

-sun shield (can use over a car seat, or stroller to keep the sun of your infants sensitive skin)

-tummy time nap

-cleaning up and protecting clothes from spit up

-and any creative use your toddler can come up with (cape, headdress, etc)


Here is a sampling of some of the prints currently in the shop:































Get yours today! Perfect for a baby shower gift, or for your own little bundle!

We're Back!!

Hard to believe it was so long! Between listing and selling our home, and purchasing and moving to a new one, as well as a family vacation, the last few months have been a whirlwind.

But guess what? I have a new studio space in the new house, and am eager to be creative. Lots of space for that now!

Barefoot Creations online shop is back up, with plenty of new products. I've partnered up with my good friend Heather, who knits children's hats. They are absolutely precious! Here's a few of the hats she has listed with Barefoot Creations:















There's plenty more, you'll just have to check out the shop. Aren't they fabulous though?

Also listed a bunch of new products such as extra large receiving blankets, more mini rag quilts, more crayon rolls, more flower hair clips, some itty bitty hair clips, and some crochet headbands.

I'm so glad to be back, and will now be keeping up with the blog, and the shop again full time. Look forward to doing business with you!

And remember, we're always open for custom requests, just ask!

Head on over to the shop and see what else is there.... I am continually adding more, and I have many other new projects very close to completion.

Saturday Slice - Crayons

I love crayons :) They're so colourful and childish! Paisley is loving crayons these days too.... but the washable variety... since she draws off the page regularly.
