Cristalee is a talented seamstress and Mom to two lovely little ladies. She started getting creative with baby blankets about two years ago. She designed and made some beautiful creations, word spread and now she is busy sewing beautiful creations whenever she can. She offers a number of different gift sets of blankies.

Her work can be found in Lizzie Bits Baby Co on Lansdowne. Her work is a unique and precious baby gift, and a beautiful prop for photography.

Her Loved Blankie is really a fantastic memento.  My son’s receiving blankets were given to Cristalee and she designed an extra special blanket adding a satin backing and edges with ribbon embellishments for my son. It has a special place on his bed and we often see it pulled around the house to tuck in his special babies.
These blankets are a great baby shower gift, as they are totally unique and can be made from your own receiving blankets. It’s amazing to watch those everything-use cloths come to new life in a Loved Blankie. For custom orders, Cristalee requires 2 – 3 weeks for completion. Gift certificates are also currently available for the Loved Blankies.
Full sized Blankies are currently $59 going to $65
Travel sized Blankies are currently $20 going to $25
and Loved Blankies are currently $45 going to $55
If you are stopping by Lizzie Bits Baby Co, you can find her blankies there and, for the month of June, all in stock blankies will be %20 off to cellebrate 2 years. This is her only sale during the year.
If you are interested in contacting Cristalee, you can reach her at receivingcuddles@hotmail.com or through her facebook page.

She sits quietly. Her legs are curled up underneath her body as she is looking intently into the window and squishing the beads around. “Oh! It’s an alligator!” she declares.

We love LEGO, don’t you?
Yes, the moments of walking, barefoot, across LEGO left on the floor are some of my least favourite, but the creations and the pride our kids feel when they show what they have built, more than make up for the pain. Hey, that sounds familiar… childbirth, anyone?
We put the call out to see what your kids are playing with and the answer came back… LEGO! Yes, our kids are playing with LEGO, too. Here they are…

And here are your kids and their incredible creations, as well…
