Adorable decor and plush toys to add ammusing elements to decorate your home and entertain your children.
Everyday items in our lives should make us feel good. We like to create home décor and plush toys that create the atmosphere that the people in this space do not take themselves too seriously and are ready to have some fun.
For years my mom and I sewed and crocheted for our friends and family all the while, they would say, "you are so talented, you should sell your ___." Well, we were finally willing to allow our hobby to get more serious and start our own business. But, we did not want all the fun to be sucked out of our creating as we dealt with the business side of creating for others.
We kept the fun in by making things with wonderful textures and that make us laugh. When we first started making things for the store, they were mostly home goods that were functional but with special touches. But, the more I make, the more I seem to be influenced by my young teen daughter. She pushes me more toward the trends and towards her favorite style; Kawaii.
As I keep on sewing and crocheting, I am sure the influence of my children will continue to show through. Frankly, there are a lot of things out there for the little ones and I am glad that my kids are pushing me to make things that are good for the older kids too! (Though I would never have guessed that fruit with faces would be a 'teen thing'.)
The other member of the team, my mother Mary, is incredibly talented in the fiber arts but after years of being practical, she is ready to sew for fun. Some of the items here are her work and she adds variety to the Without Directions style. And as her daughter and fellow maker, I love sharing this space with her.
