Hello, and welcome! Being a mother myself, I know that motherhood is fantastic and fun, but also messy and stressful! Here at Patches Of Sun, I strive to create items for babies and moms that are adorable and truly useful. All products are created using 100% designer fabric cotton, in fun and bright prints and colors. Every design I come up with to sell to you, I have tested and currently use for myself and/or little ones.
What’s in a name?
Patches of Sun came about one day in the middle of winter when I had made the decision to put my sewing talent to good use and open an online shop of items for babies and moms. The sun was actually shining that one day, and my then 3-month-old daughter had discovered a patch of sun on the floor and was trying to pick it up. Too cute, right? If only we could pick up some sunshine and keep it (kind of like catching a falling star and putting it in your pocket).
For me, Patches of Sun is a way to stay focused on the positive! Everything that entails raising two babies, and running a house, a business and a blog… phew! A girl could use some morale from time to time! But there are little things everyday that are worth appreciation, and those are what I refer to as “patches of sun.” They can come in many forms, and can strike at any moment. Everything from receiving a sincere, gummy smile from an adorable baby, to actually getting carded by the cashier when buying a much needed bottle of wine. :)
For my blog, Patches of Sun is about sharing, relating and inspiring. DIY’s, Recipes, Home Improvement, Relatables and Confessions. All of these topics cover who I am and what I do as a woman, wife, mother, crafter, and business owner. I hope you find some inspiration in what I do, and I also hope you leave some inspiration for me as well!
For my shop, Patches of Sun is all about creating adorable things for babies, and truly useful items for moms.
Welcome! Take a look around. Drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you!
