BESTeam Feature - Baba Moon

Back in February I featured Naomi and her photography shop Moonangelnay and I just mentioned her second shop Baba Moon because as a knitter I couldn't help but admire her knitted baby hats....and now it is my pleasure to feature Baba Moon this week!

Naomi is the crafter behind Baba Moon and she is a hard working mom of two beautiful children as well as the owner of two stores on Etsy and a handmade blog!  Baba Moon is a big focus for her at the moment which is totally inspired by her kids whom have brought out the girly girl in her! It shows in all of her cute designs as she tends to focus on flowers, pet animals, amigurumi and all things bright and colorful as her muse for design ideas.  She loves to knit and crochet, obsessively collect yarns, create her own patterns of all the hats, mittens, scarves, baby pods and other tiny garments for babies and children that she has conjured up.




Here is just a few (ok...more than a few as I think they are all adorable!) that caught my eye....but there are so many to choose from you should check it out for yourself!

And I just have to say that it is totally unfair that she is a great photographer as well...cause the pictures are just adorable as well!

This one is probably my absolute favorite one....my sister just had a 30-week preemie baby who would look adorable in a little preemie bunny beanie!!

BESTeam Feature - ChickyDs on Etsy

This week my BESTeam Feature is on a 'new' shop called ChickyDs, where you will find accessories for your little fashionista!  Danielle, of Peru, Illinois, is the crafter behind ChickyDs.  And this is actually a second shop run by Danielle...her other shop is called Danizabeth, featuring retro and nostalgic photography.

Danielle recalls that as a child, her mom absolutely loved to accessorize her outfits with hair bows. Although Danielle admits she wasn't really sure she liked them at the time, she has now grown up and realizes what fashion is, she can appreciate the effort her mom gave to her outfits.

She has always loved arts and crafts.  And she knew from middle school that she was going to pursue a career involving art.  She went to school, studied Graphic Design and now is working doing just that at a local newspaper.

As much as she loves her job, she enjoys being able to create things with her hands. On a recent trip to Hobby Lobby with every intention of getting knitting supplies to learn how to knit turned into the idea of starting a new Etsy adventure....and ChickyDs was born! 

I can so appreciate how a trip to a local craft store turns in to a brand new adventure....as I too have ventured to the craft store with the intentions of finding something to make for Christmas gifts one year...which turned into my soap making addiction!  Next thing I knew I had a whole closet full of soap making supplies and started my own Etsy shop selling my handmade soap!  Nevermind the trip to the craft store for knitting supplies....and a whole other closet full of knitting stuff!!

Here are just a few things that jumped out at me while browsing her shop...

Pink and Brown Butterfly, Hearts and Stripes Loopy Boutique Bow

Small Canvas Tote with Detachable Boutique Bow Accent

Adult Military Style Boutique Hat - Black with Purple and Teal Yo Yos

Cupcake Clippie 3 Pack Boutique Style Girls Accessories

Striped Boutique Bow on French Clip

BESTeam Feature - TiLT Creations

This week's BESTeam Feature is on TiLT Creations , which is run by Theresa.  Theresa is a stay-at-home mom of 2 boys, ages 16 and 6.  She sews and creates in order to keep sane and makes her family quite happy in the process.  She creates whenever possible....and with whatever she has around.  Fabric, paint, pencils, embroidery thread and even clay...they are all fair game when Theresa creates!  They may not all come out as she planned but she has fun in the process. 

Theresa sounds like my kind of gal!  I, too, tend to try whatever it is that has caught my eye when it comes to crafting....knitting, crocheting, soapmaking, jewelry making, drawing, painting, sewing, playing with clay....somethings come out better than others...but I have fun doing them all :-)

Ok...while researching her shop for this feature....I just couldn't help myself....so I had to buy this...sorry, I saw it first! :-)

BESTeam Feature - Plum Beadacious

This week's feature is on a great little shop, Plum Beadacious.  Plum Beadacious is a boutique of artisan handmade jewelry with a specialty of vintage inspired and flower/garden themed jewelry. Plum Beadacious is run by LeAllyson and her desire is that these creations delight the eyes and are a joy to wear.

LeAllyson was introduced to making beaded jewelry by her daughter and was surprised to find out just how much she enjoyed it.  She has been creating jewelry for about seven years now, and have been selling it for about five years.  Her desire is to create jewelry that delights the eye and is a joy to wear!  She enjoys selecting beautiful beads made from a variety of materials.  She works with lampwork beads, crystals, Czech glass beads, freshwater pearls and semi-precious stones.  She strives to provide affordable jewelry to those who want to adorn themselves in something beautiful.  Because of this some of the findings are brass, silver plate, copper, pewter, and other metals that are charming and wear well when properly cared for.  She still uses sterling silver and gold fill in some of my more elegant pieces.  And she will make every effort to clearly describe the materials used.

Here are just a few things that caught my eye while browsing through her shop....but there is so much more in the shop you need to check it out for yourselves!!

Necklace Earrings Set Pink and Blue Repurposed Beads

Hearts Flowers Lucite Flower Bracelet
