Coming soon to Divergent Threads...

SIPPY CUP LEASHES. These handy contraptions are made from grosgrain ribbon, utilize a hook and loop closure to secure the cup, and can be snapped around your stroller, high chair, or anywhere! They are compact and can be easily thrown in your purse or diaper bag. Never let a sippy cup hit the ground again.


The "CONFETTI FUN" Collection. I felt inspired by my hair bling making Momma's and quite honestly, wanted in on the creative fun myself! I wanted to offer up something a little different than your traditional ribbon designs so I came up with something fun and fantastic. They will be revealed very soon right here!

Chocolate Bon-Bon Anyone?

The perfect little topper for a sweet little girl. This scrumptious crocheted hat can be made in any color combination you desire. I like to use acrylic/cotton yarns for washability and durability. This hat can be sized for a newborn, toddler, or child. Please contact me with color combination and sizing for your candy girl!

Designs by Steffanie

A fellow Mommy friend of mine, Steffanie, has been creating some of the cutest, fashionable, and fun hair accessories I've come across. Her offerings include simple clips, woven ribbon headbands, stylish bows, and beaded hairpins. She also dabbles in tutu's and clippie holders! She loves creating custom orders. She just made me the most adorable interchangeable "Cheetalicious" bow and woven headband for my daughter (pictured above). Steffanie offers her tutu's in the team colors of your choice weather it be school colors or professional sports teams. Of course the traditional girly, girl tutu is available too!

Please check out all the wonderful handmade goods she has created for sale in her etsy shop for the girliest of girls in your life! Thanks.

And so it begins.....

Having a "webfull" of wonderful women friends continually supporting and loving my handicrafts has finally led me to start this blog and an etsy shop will soon follow. The proverbial fire has been lit, yippee! Thanks MM08!

I never know what will strike my fancy to create. Whether it be a yarn creation in the form of a hat, sweater, or blanket or a neat pattern on my sewing machine for a cart cover, dress, or bag. Sky's the limit! Sadly, there are limits on my time since I am raising 4 children in between coveting cuddle fleece and the newest yarn offerings. I hope you check back often to see what I've been up to. Enjoy life and explore your own creative genius.
