This is a prototype of a doll I’ve been dreaming/sketching/planning for quite a while now. Im still in the middle of a bunch of custom orders but this doll suddenly had to come into being NOW. Does that happen to anyone else? This little one still needs some clothes and such but there’s a basket of bear parts that needs my attention again. It feels sooo good the see this doll project coming together and that really energizes me. Back to custom bears!!

I did that thing again where I disappear from social media for a long time with no explanation. Every time I do that I swear to myself I’ll never do it again because it causes me so much anxiety and it’s not good practice, obviously. I’ve had a crazy spring and summer. Our shop @kinoko_kids moved to a great new spot and we’ve been super busy. I started teaching classes there which is amazing. I have three boys and they were all home this summer and I was (and am still) really busy being a mom. I’m way behind on custom orders but working on them again. My studio is clean. I’ll be here posting when I can. Im not taking any custom orders. I’m really sorry for leaving some of you wondering. Whew.

I’m teaching another sewing class for kids age 9-14 starting next Saturday at my shop in Minneapolis @kinoko_kids ! I still have some spots to fill so if you are local and have a young person interested in learning how to make handmade toys sign up today! We’ll be using a combination of machine and hand sewing techniques to make some real cute projects together. The first session I thought went so so well and I can’t wait to do it again.

Happy Easter to those celebrating today! Thank you to my friend @zweifelblock for sharing this great picture of one of my Rabbit Friends in her beautiful home wearing a beautiful handmade basket on its back.

I had my first sewing class at @kinoko_kids in #atelierkinoko yesterday and it was so much fun!! It’s a class for 9-14 year olds about sewing handmade toys using hand sewing techniques and a bit of machine sewing too. These are some toys I brought in to show them- some things I’ve made and some vintage toys as well. More pictures of the class to come I’m sure...I was too busy during the actual class to take any pics 😅

This is a special sloth I made for my son a few months ago. It was inspired by an article I read about how some sloth fur has a symbiotic relationship with algae and is host to all sorts of critters...So this is the green-backed Algae Sloth I made for my boy. It has a necklace made of felted bugs. I’m not a very accomplished felter but I’m trying to teach myself.

I’ve hardly had a chance to work in my studio at all the last month or so because we were so busy moving our shop @kinoko_kids into our new and much improved space. I finally have some time in the studio today but have to use it cleaning because when I’m really busy I turn into a horrible slob. It’s better now!

It’s an exciting time for my shop @kinoko_kids ! We are moving today. Our new space is beautiful and has a dedicated classroom space called #atelierkinoko where we will hold artist led classes and workshops. It’s been a crazy couple of months but we are so excited about this new chapter for our little shop.

I’ve been terribly absent here lately...I’m so sorry. I’ve got emails, DMs and custom work to catch up on. The last month has thrown lots my way (good and less good...but mostly good) and I am behind. If you are waiting on me for a custom order, I haven’t forgotten you and I’ll contact you soon with an update- I promise!! Thank you as usual for your patience with this busy mom/business owner/toy maker ❤️

Thank you all so much for your orders, support, kind words, and messages. I’m so very grateful... and because I’m a Scandi-Midwesterner I feel a bit embarrassed and unworthy of your patronage to be honest 😆 Your orders are going out today and will be with you soon. THANK YOU ❤️

Bats, sloths, and baby snakes should be popping up on my website at noon CST! If you are hoping to snag something today good luck and I hope you get what your heart desires! Xo
