While You Were Sleeping - Handmade Gifts

10/07/2023

I started this little business over 11 years ago. I started crafting while my son was sleeping, hence the name. Over the years, I have had the privilege of selling my creations to family, friends and strangers at shows. I am forever grateful for the love and support that has been shown to me.

This year brought a lot of change and this is one of them. I have partnered with my dear friend, Stacey Holt, to start a new business called The Happy Craftery.

I would be honored if you would follow my adventures on my new page, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551168338010&mibextid=ZbWKwL.

A bonus is that you'll get to see Stacey's creations as well.

I'll be archiving this page in about a week.

Much love,
Melanie

My son has been begging me for a handmade Sackboy for years. Literally. I finally found a pattern I liked and .... tada! His mouth was tricky but it was so worth it because I think he is adorable and Finn loves him!

Billie Holiday is done! My daughter requested her and I had to oblige. She was an incredible artist who lived a hard life. I am grateful her music and words live on.
