OUR LIFE TO DATE :-)

I've always been a night owl, and hubby became one when he was working … however, now that we are in full retirement, we find ourselves reverting back to daytime hours. This is different for me as I’ve never been a day person per se; and I guess I am still doing owlish hours as I now find myself up and about in the early dawn hours when the owl mascot for our small spread is softly hoo-hoo-hoot’ing in the Sugar Pine outside our bedroom window. LOL.

Though we live at the junction on the outskirts of two PNW intertwining cities, my husband and I are Urban Homesteaders & Empty Nesters who share our lives with our beautiful & gentle wolf companion, 1 old cat, 1 fat and growing patio pond Koi, and 7 chickens that supply us with fresh eggs daily. We put in a large garden every seventh year; a few years back we had a deer cut right through the corn patch - where it came from or where it went is anyone's guess, but it passed so close to me I could feel it's body heat radiating as it passed by me - a Barred Owl drops in now and then to sit in the Sugar Pine by the Hen Pen, and migrating Mallard Ducks fly in to swim in the annual rain pond next door. We have also had Roosevelt Elk pass through to nibble our tender willow tree leaves, and the fat raccoon family shows up annually to raid the plum tree … and sometimes keep the owl company on its chicken watch.

We are aging hippie boomers who live a Godly lifestyle and try always to do right by our Lord. Sometimes we fail, as is human nature, but that does not stop us from striving to do better and live upright lives. I have recently started mzowl's Halodaze Designs, which is a cottage-type handcraft business I do entirely by hand and market locally; I have added to my Blog a link of a FB Lookbook Catalog Album of my homebased designs for those interested in my work.

I enjoy seeing the cybertraffic on my Blog Traffic Meter, and I hope you have also enjoyed your visit to The Owl Nest and leave a friendly "hi" as you pass by :-)

mzowl’s Holadaze Designs –

I do not create large quantities of items nor do I offer clothing wholesale, so you can be sure your child is wearing something truly special.

My own Original Design creations are original artistic creations not available anywhere else and they are not mass produced, therefore ensuring you a unique and authentic garment - authentic by means of designs made entirely by hand: these items will have a MOD label before the descriptions so that you will know immediately that you are being offered a one-of-a-kind item (OFAK), and sometimes a limited OFAK when the yarn used has been phased out and no longer available to purchase. My line of original creations has an offbeat sense of style and design with unique developments, vivid colors and detailed embellishments. I think you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them. Everything I offer for sale is hand sewn, knitted or crocheted by me in a smoke free home. I give special attention to detail and quality, making clothing that is of gift giving and heirloom quality. Some of my customers have been with me for decades; recipients grow up and keep in touch – requesting a special item for their little ones ... “It’s not a Baby Shower unless ‘Auntie Val’ shows up with one of her creations.” It’s such a privilege to be part of people’s lives in this way. Because I do not like to repeat something already tried and done, usually what I offered is only offered once; when it sells it is no longer available.

Everything I handcraft is made with my own to hands, my steel needles and hooks; reasonably priced to fit any budget; and I always have something in stock because I have my knitting needles and crochet hooks going nonstop from the time hubby leaves for work in the afternoon until he walks back through the door at daybreak. You will find lots of special touches here and there and in unexpected places. I love to personalize my clothing and you never know what you will find! If you personally know me or not, grab a cuppa and join in the public viewing of my handwork items; most custom orders are available for shipment within two to four weeks or less; in-house items that are in stock are ready to ship out immediately. See something you like? Orders can also be placed by phone if you know me and my phone number; or if you are new to viewing my designs, email me at the email here: nwfam3@comcast.net. Either way, just leave me a message of what it is you want and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

NOTE: SHIPPING RATES HAVE ESCALATED SO I HAVE TO ADJUST MY RATES ACCORDINGLY. UPDATES ARE AS FOLLOWS - $5 EXTRA for small items & $10 EXTRA for big items & $15 EXTRA for large items. Sorry, but I have to stay current ...

Cash (for local sales to those who know me personally), personal checks or money orders are the forms of payment. Being a small home-based business, I am not set up for Credit or Debit cards. Items will be shipped as soon as your check clears. A small mailing fee is added to online items; shopping local is cheaper, so come see me at a few of the local Bazaars :-)

$20.00 - BASE. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. I designed my baby sweater after a basic baby sweater printed in Vouge Knitting about 20 years ago.

Remembering when my own beloved daughter and granddaughter were delicately formed infants, I lovingly handcrafted this garment to custom perfection. From classy to unique, your child has never looked better when you dress them in one of these adorable baby sweaters. Everything I stock is made in house and reasonably priced to fit any budget. This tiny zig-zag eyelet pattern sweater was knitted with soft and supple Baby Sport and is edged with garter stitch all around and on sleeve cuffs.

Unisex Garter St & Eyelet Baby Sweater: Cost PLUS $10 Shipping. Available Now :-)

$20.00 - BASE. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. A Newborn sweater needs two essential qualities: it must to be soft enough to sleep in (car seat naps, stroller naps, love & cuddle naps), and it must be as beautiful as the newborn it adorns. This pretty little garter stitch and eyelet sweater has those essential qualities. I have been making this particular sweater pattern up for well over a decade for various baby shower gifts; and the most recent baby I gifted with it is our 2 year old nephew who wore it home from the hospital after he arrived to bless our family (his was edged in baby blue); it’s a ‘traditional piece’ and always appreciated. It’s timeless. This little white sweater is knitted using Baby Sport yarn in a simplistic garter stitch pattern with strands of very thin shiny yellow satin ribbon threaded through eyelets at the neck and along the yoke for vintage drawstring closure.

MOD - BOY’S LEAF & CATERPILLAR SWEATER: Cost PLUS $10 Shipping. Available Now :-)

$25.00 - BASE. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Seeing what mass manufacturing has to offer for babies I personally feel that baby clothing has lost all its traditional creative value as mass retailers cater to miniature versions of adult contemporary clothing.

All my own original designs (MOD) are appropriately created around making practical one-of-a-kind, handmade, easy to care for baby garments. This little shawl-collared pullover is classic in its simplicity, yet beautiful in design using vintage heirloom pattern stitches. This mint green sweater worked in Baby Sport has a Leaf Rib center panel with Caterpillar Stitch detail on the lower sleeves. Altogether delightful in design, and complementary to baby’s skin tone.

MOD: KNITTED SEEDED DIAMOND BABY KIMONO: Cost PLUS $10 Shipping. Available Now :-)

$25.00 - BASE. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. Remaining faithful to my ambition for maximum creativity and minimum pricing, I designed this little baby kimono from start to finish; sketching it on paper in the textured pattern I envisioned, shading it in felt pen in the colors I saw in my mind’s eye, and running it past hubby’s eyes more than once for brutal appraisals before starting to knit it up in the bright colors and the bold and fun patterns which created the interesting textures in a designed creation that I am sure will appeal to the fashionistas as well as the traditionalists. Kimonos are an easy fit for babies – just slip their little arm into the sleeves, wrap the front around to the side and tie it up: easy as 1-2-3! I used worsted weight yarn throughout, in bright and bold colored yarns. The main body of this kimono is knitted in a seeded diamond pattern; it is completely edged in a textured stitch to represent gold-crowned jewels – a bit fanciful for sure, but also a fun element to the finish for your little princess :-) There is an inside turquoise crocheted tie at the underarm – and a bright yellow outside side tie crocheted with a bright red ‘cherry’ tip trim: altogether quite beautiful and simply practical in keeping baby warm and uniquely stylish in this one-of-a-kind garment. Machine washable. Pattern available. Size: 9 to 12 months **PATTERN $3.00** nwfam3@comcast.net
