Handmade by Kia

This is where you'll find me this summer! I've been busy stocking up on all my best sellers and some cute new things 😊

Some cuties heading to tomorrow 🥰🐙🍄🪴

Can finally share the baby shower gift I made for a dear friend and coworker expecting a baby boy in September 💙

Had to jump on the yipyip 👽 bandwagon and make a rainbow's worth because: *nostalgia*. Anyone who watched the Muppets growing up will recognize these guys! They'd be the perfect size to hang in your car to hold change, lip chap, etc. Available at the Spring Market held by at the Emera Centre this Sunday from 11-3, among lots of various pieces from me and the other talented vendors of course 😊 Come check it out, support local artists and a great cause! ❤️

I was very much looking forward to the Valentine's Day Market but the silly Cape Breton weather got in the way 😭 I unfortunately won't be able to attend the rescheduled date. Please share so all the amazing vendors have a great turnout next Saturday!

Due to the weather we’re getting this weekend, we have no choice but to reschedule our market. ❄️

Our Valentine’s Day Market will now take place on Saturday, February 10th from 11AM-3PM at Emera Centre Northside (Upstairs in the Credit Union Room).

We hope you’ll join us!! 💗

Please share to help us spread the word of our new date/ location. 🥹

This has been one of my favorite pieces to date and I'm so excited to finally show it off 💙🐞 When .martelly messaged me and told me about her new children's book "Ladybug Blues" and asked me to make a ladybug to match, of course I said yes! A story about a blue ladybug navigating being different in Unama'ki/Cape Breton is something I'm sure alot of us can relate to. If there's a special child in your life, go check out her adorable book! Available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble 😊

Custom order! Thanks Shaylyn 😊

I'm a day late but Happy New Year! 🎉

Although 2022 was a challenging year for me, it also brought so many wonderful moments and memories for me and my little business.

- I started selling my work in a store, which is an absolute dream come true! I'm honored and grateful everyday to be a part of , among dozens of talented local artists. (These cuties will be part of my restock tomorrow 🌻🐢) If you haven't yet, check out the store in Sydney, NS or check out the brand new website 😉(link in my bio)

- I created a real workspace in my home and stepped outside my comfort zone by being a vendor at 2 markets 🧶

- And my boyfriend and I completed our family when he surprised me with our baby kitty Mack 🐱

I hope you all have the best year and I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported me so far and those that will continue to in 2023 and beyond. It really means the world to me to be able to create things that people enjoy and I'm so excited for what's to come ❤❤
