I know I have a few followers here at 'i heart arts', but I feel like keeping up with 2 blogs is a little much. So, I think I will stop posting here after the holidays. Please come to my other blog where there's much more then JUST crafts.

Sweet Tweet!!

This here is an adorable photo of my niece who just celebrated her 1st birthday!

It's just incredible HOW fast the time goes! I made these purple leg warmers for her and my sister was kind enough to take a picture of her wearing them for me since we live in different cities and I couldn't be there for the big day sadly. She is walking now and even saying a few real words! I am glad she can wear these leg warmers as she walks and runs around since she still falls a lot...practice makes perfect.
If you want a pair of these leg warmers for your baby or toddler, or as a gift for a baby shower of holiday, then come see what's available in one of my TWO online stores! I also do custom orders!

Leg Warmers.

During this time as I get closer and closer to my due date, I feel like I have embraced the life as a domesticated house wife and soon to be mother. (You can read my experience throughout the pregnancy here http://www.heatherbays.blogspot.com/.) I have been baking and cooking and crocheting like crazy. I have started preparing fresh home cooked soups and freezing them so when time is scarce we will still have very nutritious and delicious homemade foods to eat. But one of my favourite things to do it make adorable baby and toddler leg warmers.


I have some available in both of my online shops but I also do custom orders if you are looking for a specific colour! So come to either my ETSY store or ARTFIRE store and see what's available! They are perfect for this time of year and would make a wonderful Christmas gift too. They will arrive gift ready just like the photo below, all nicely hand packaged!!

These little leggings are warm woolen handmade and crocheted with wool topped with a simple bow. They'll keep your child's legs toasty through the fall, winter, spring and cool summer nights. They're classic, simple and extremely sweet. They have a cute bow at the top so the tightness can be adjusted, with an adorable frilly bottom. Great for when baby starts crawling to protect those precious knees.
These leg warmers will fit babies 6 months to children 3 years or older, depending on the size of the child. You can bunch them or wear them full length. They also fit on adults arms for arm warmers! They measure about 11 inches long. The top measures 8 inches around (so a 4 inch diameter) and the bottom just above the frill measures 6 inches around (so a 3 inch diameter.)

Cutest Wedding Cake Topper!

I just made this adorable wedding cake topper for a couple on Etsy who are getting married next winter. A crab with a fargo hat holding a heart sign on a wooden stick sitting on a turtle wearing a touque with a pom-pom! I am so in love with it. The little touques are too much, they make me melt, and the little heart sign, man oh man. This will be one great wedding cake. You can feel the love!!




If you would like me (Heather Bays) to make you a custom cake topper, please email me at heatherbays@gmail.com OR come to etsy and see my custom cake topper listing for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, showers, or a cake for any old day!

Felted Soaps, oh YES!

Felted soaps are basically a bar of soap wearing a wool sweater. They are handmade by me (Heather Bays) using a wet felting/soap felting technique. These ones here were each made with a 120g bar of Olay Body Ultra Moisture soaps either in Vanilla Indulgence or Shea Butter. They smell yuuuummmmy!

Felted soaps are softer and more luxurious than using a cloth or loofah. They work up such a rich silky lather and as you wash it gently exfoliates your skin! Plus you won't have to deal with the end bits of soap that are slippery and hard to hold and usually end up slipping down the drain, and are wasted. As the bar of soap shrinks, so does the wool! In the end, you're left with a little wool scrubby.

If you are interested in trying some felted soaps just email me heatherbays@gmail.com or check out my online store for availability!
