    Work at Home Mom

    I opened The Traveling Tot (formerly named Two Little Monkies) in the spring of 2010 with the intention of making my shop a hobby, hoping to sell some of the items I made for my own children. Over the last 7 years my shop is grown more than I could have ever imagined and has become more of a full-time job than just a hobby.

    I began with a just a few travel neck pillows and since then I have added over a dozen types of children and baby items to my stock. In 2017 I made the decision to branch off from The Traveling Tot to open Sleepy Dust Designs for my baby items and baby carrier accessories.

    I love making my own patterns and finding a new way to make each item. I pride myself on quality and I believe that each item should be made with care and attention to detail as I would if making it for my own children.

    I would not have this business if it wasn't something that I truly loved to do, and that is what motivates me every day. I strive to do my best, from making high quality and long lasting products to providing excellent customer service and fast shipping. I pride myself in having excellent feedback and I feel a good reputation is an important part of my business.

    I love the flexibility of working from home while still being able to care for my children. Having a home based business has given me the opportunity to help contribute financially, while still being with my children all day. I typically sew once my children are in bed because caring for my children leaves me with very little time during the day! I wouldn't change a thing about it though, I enjoy having the opportunity to sneak away to the quiet of my office every night and focus on doing something that I enjoy!

    Frequently asked questions
    Custom and personalized orders

    I am happy to create an item just for you! Most of my items are able to be customized with fabrics that I have on hand, and sometimes I am also willing to order fabrics (additional charges may apply). I can also alter the size and shape slightly, to make an item better fit your needs.

    Because of the nature of my items, I do not always have every item listed in my shop that I am available to make. Please see my price list for a list of items I can make by request.

    If you are interested in a custom order, please send me a message to discuss what you are looking for!
