Hi guys! 👋🏾 Just checking in because it’s been a minute! ❤️

I’ve been a little quiet on here because I’ve been sewing up a storm! 🧵✂️🔥 Making beautiful Heritage outfits like these and loving every single moment of it. 🇿🇦❤️

The sewing machine has been keeping me VERY busy, but I promise you, I’ve got lots of beautiful things happening behind the scenes. 🥰

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi… love you guys! ❤️

Bye for now — gotta get back to creating! 😂🧵✂️🇿🇦

🥹🇿🇦 Tiny outfit, BIG South African pride!

Isn’t this Heritage outfit just the cutest?! 😍🇿🇦 The little tutu and baby grow were made especially for a 3-month-old baby, and oh my goodness… I absolutely LOVED making this one! 🥰🧵✨

There’s something so special about creating these tiny little outfits — knowing that a precious little baby will be wearing something handmade with so much love makes every stitch worth it. ❤️

From the tutu to the baby grow, every little detail came together so beautifully. And yes… even the tiniest South Africans can celebrate their heritage in style! 🇿🇦👶🏽💚

Thank you for trusting Crafty Nanny with such a special little outfit. 🥹

Just spending some quality time with my Singer… 🎶🧵💕

Singing along as I make this tutu, because honestly, I LOVE this sound! The hum of the machine, the fabric moving through my hands, and another creation slowly coming to life. ✨

I hope everybody is keeping warm because WOW… it is COLD! 🥶❄️ But cold weather or not, the sewing must go on! 😂🧵

So while everyone is wrapped up in blankets, I’m wrapped up in fabric, listening to my Singer do what she does best. 😍

Because around here… as long as the sewing must go on, the Singer must sing! 🎶😂💜

It really takes a village to raise a child. ❤️

You are my village.

Every like, every share, every comment, and every purchase has meant so much more than supporting a small business. You have been helping me raise an incredible young lady.

In the beginning, it was just my mom and me, and life was a little more challenging. Then, in 2021, CraftyNannyYaya was born. I never imagined this little business would grow the way it has, but by God's grace, it continues to grow and has become such an important part of Faith's life and future.

Every order you place, every reel you watch, and every recommendation you make has helped me provide for her, support her dreams, and remind me that I am never walking this journey alone.

Today, my beautiful girl turns 14! 🥹🎉 Happy Birthday, Faith. Watching you grow into the bright, kind, and amazing young lady you are, fills my heart with gratitude.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of our story. We love you, we appreciate you, and we thank God every day for such a supportive community. Here's to many more years of growing together. 💜🎂

One thing I changed in my Alice bands journey is that I now hand sew the opening closed instead of using glue.

Why? Because some customers told me that over time the Alice band inside can sometimes break, and when it’s glued shut there’s not much you can do besides replace the whole thing.

By hand sewing it closed, you can simply unpick a few stitches, replace the plain Alice band inside, sew it back up (or even glue it if sewing isn’t your thing 😅) and continue enjoying it instead of throwing it away.

I love creating pieces that can be used over and over again. There’s something so special about hearing:
“I’m still using the outfit I bought 3 years ago… now I just need a bigger size for my little one so I can gift the old one to a friend or family member.” 🥹❤️

That is the beauty of handmade pieces made with care — they become part of memories, celebrations, and little family stories that continue long after the first wear. ✨

Happy birthday to Olive, my trusty sidekick! Our runs are way more fun with her leading the way, even if she doesn't always listen. The snuggles are the highlight of my day, and playtime is always chaotic. I'm not gonna lie, the ankle tags can be a bit much sometimes, but she makes up for it with all the love and energy she brings. Now, who's gonna clean up all the fluff? 😂😂 🐶🎂
