The Woolly Mamas: SwansNest

The Woolly Mamas Mission

Who we are:

A circle of creative, progressive mothers who love wool, fiber-art and crafts, our children, each other, and Mother Earth!

What we do:

Gather to craft together, share nutritious food, nurture deep friendships, support one another as mothers, and inspire each other artistically.

Our mission:
Promote environmentally sustainable and community-building income earning opportunities for local mamas in ways that strengthen and nurture, rather than disrupt or negate the vitally important parent-child bond. By providing a physical and mental space where women can come together in defiance of urban and suburban isolation to raise children with the support of a community of women, while creating high quality, hand-crafted goods from organic and natural materials, we hope to:

Foster within our culture a value for the life-path of mothering.
Ensure that our children's needs are not sacrificed in the challenges of a changing economy.
Revive cottage industry and allow mothers to supplement or sustain their families income.
Promote the buying and selling of local, hand-made products.
Form uniquely bonded communities who pool skills, experience and advice in natural crafting and mothering, who impart to our children the importance of remaining bonded to one another and the Earth.

SwansNest

Creatively and Compassionately Handmade is the motto for my etsy and...my new website! SwansNest: http://swansnest.etpgames.com/
A gift from my wonderful husband, the website will be a vehicle for my knitted goods for sale on etsy and a space for me to share more about my knitting life and inspirations.
On my site I clue you into who I am and what I do.
Over time I hope to show more of me in my knits and posts.
When you visit my site you will find a sweet post about these short sleeves made from orange vintage kite string.
