one crafty lady at crafty baby!

2010-06-21T07:19:00.004-04:00

Today, we are featuring a family run company based in Connecticut, Crafty baby. Crafty Baby was founded in 1998 by a love of sewing and a need for practical & durable children and baby products. Jill Chuckas, owner and creator, discovered during her pregnancy with her first child that there was a lack of unique, yet classic, fabric crafted items for young children in her local stores. As a longtime seamstress and crafter, Jill decided to do something about this dilemma, and Crafty Baby was "born." Jill credits her attention to detail and quality to her Nana K who first inspired within her a love of sewing at the early age of 4. Jill's designs are one-of-a-kind and crafted specifically to ensure durability against washing and active little ones. Fabrics are carefully selected for the highest level of quality and comfort. Crafty Baby has become a family affair, with Jill's children helping to pick out fabrics and field test products. Crafty Baby is a true, home-based, family company.

Let's help support these truly unique small businesses and keep USA and handmade products thriving in our country. You can help by visiting the Handmade Toy Alliance website.

The Handmade Toy Alliance is a non-profit organization made up of crafters, manufacturers and importers of small batch children’s products. In 2008, Congress passed the CPSIA to regulate the children’s product industry, but the over reaching law has unintended consequence requiring all children’s products to be tested at a third party testing lab. The testing costs are expensive and often require the destruction of several pieces for a result. The HTA is urging Congress to amend the CPSIA in a way that keeps safe products in the market place and maintains safety standards that protect our children. Do your part by going to www.handmadetoyalliance.com and contacting your member Congress.

We take great pride at designing and making of our kookie girls clothing line in the USA.This week, kookie will be featuring members of the Handmade Toy Alliance and their handmade products. We ask for others to join in the Handmade Toy Alliance's fight to help bring change before many,many small businesses go out of business on Feb 10, 2011.

For more information on the history and mission of the HTA, we urge you to visit their website. Thank you!

Another fab find was this Wonder Woman Lunchbox (pictured right), it brought back memories of me jumping off the stairs and pretending to save the world! I would pull on my Spider Girl Underoos, unforunately there was not a blue-light Kmart special that day on the Wonder Woman ones, tie an old sheet around my neck, fold tin foil bands around my wrists and I was ready to fight off the bad guys!
