I would like to wish everyone all the best in 2018 and give you a long overdue update. I haven't had much to post in 2017 as I wove only a few wraps. I plan to weave a small number of wraps in 2018. I have a Brilliant Perspectives semi-custom spot available (pictured here in plane weave with vert pale cotton weft) and a full custom spot available in May. Message me for details if you are interested.

Thank you Mindy for sharing the photo. I love seeing little ones in wraps I have woven.

I've been waiting for the perfect photo to share to this page but the reality was, we only wrapped a few times after I bought this beautiful rainbow. That's 47lbs of kid on my back and this gorgeous woolie held him like he was nothing. Comfy, not diggy at all. I also got the chance to borrow a squish (7lbs!!😳) today and I figured this would be far too much wrap for such a little baby, but it was great! Squish fell fast asleep. Now... to get another baby to wrap!!!

Happy holidays from The Village Grandma. My biggest grand kid still finds solace in wrapping during the busy holidays.

We love our Little Hart semi-custom! I chose a Royal Tencel weft, and a pebble weave. We've had it since August, so this is way overdue. It's so soft, comfortable and a dream to wear. It never fails at saving the day when my little guy is cranky, teething, or fighting naps. I can be having the worst day, not looking my greatest, but as soon as I put on my Little Hart ring sling and wrap my little bacon bit in all this handwoven love, I instantly feel beautiful. It's just perfect, I can't say enough. I know custom momma designed it for her son, and she did such a beautiful job. I feel like the colours she picked are the perfect fit for me and my son as well.

We wore our Little Hart sister on our snowshoeing adventure today.

This lovely mama sent pictures and this message:

"The sister wrap of Timeless is gorgeous, buttery soft and ever so supportive!
It's so hard to capture the true colour and almost impossible to see all the sparkles on pictures. I would say it's much more beautiful in real life."

Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the kind words. We are so happy you like it.

This beautiful hand dyed warp from Robbins Nest Weaving is a delight to weave. Each time I advance the warp something new and interesting appears. I'll have more pictures throughout the week as I weave 3 pieces, each with a different weft color.
