Are you in the SF Bay Area? SEESAW has its grand opening tomorrow!
They are a play studio, lounge, and workshop to inspire children curiosity, creativity and connection. It’s run by husband and wife duo, Sabrina (child psychologist) and Niels (software engineer). Additionally they will be carrying our Kitty Egg crayons, so please check them out and tell us about it.

I’ve been referenced as being Wednesday Adams, Marla Singer, and Tim Burton something… so I’m pretty darn pleased to be apart of the Crafting In Color Etsy Team! I have never claimed black to be my favorite color, ever. But I do admit my wardrobe was 95% black from the ages of 14-23. So this is a pretty big deal for me- I am officially embracing my inner rainbow.
To commemorate, I made this treasury on etsy. As always, comments appreciated!
[CIC Team] treasury:
top row: beckykazana, therainbowroom, HamjArt, KIMONOS
2nd row: PoorRobin, sunshinegrovefarm, kittybblove, ahouston
3rd row: sugarandcream, alatceramics, MistyAurora, swiedebie
4th row: tekaandzoe, happycloud, bprdesigns, thefuzzymonkey
Since we mix our own colors, we sometimes get swirly kitties in between batches of colors… like moving from a batch of orange crayons to red. They’re fairly popular when we sell them on weekends at Portland Saturday Market so I haven’t had time to list and sell any on etsy.
Behind them are some peace sign crayons too… another item yet to be listed on our shop…
What do you think of the swirlies and peace sign crayons? Any color combos or particular things you’d like to see?
This was designed with older kids in mind. The pointy tip of the drop function like a pencil tips for detailed coloring and drawing. We’re still working out the kinks and it probably won’t be available for at least a couple more weeks. The one above is one of our prototypes. He still needs a face and maybe a *little* shorter and thicker tip to prevent breakage from heavy duty crayon users. I also still have to figure out how to package these guys so that their tips stay protected during transportation. Hmmm
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.
Mikah thinks he’s *sooo* cool- he is throwing his toy car around his back.
I woke up one morning and found this on the chalkboard. I love how just the little kitty’s head is peeking out of the bottom.
Aahh, life.
Mikah is showing more and more of his personality- He is super friendly, social, and a bit sassy too!
The bad – He discovered how to take things out of place (like pulling clothes out of the laundry)
The good – Ben and I have been firm about having him put it all back. Generally once we do 1 or 2 items, he’ll copy us (he loves to copy things we do), but sometimes he’ll put up a fight. Once it took a good 10 minutes to get everything back in order (that’s like an eternity in baby time). It’s all worth it though. Better now before it turns into a bad habit. When he finishes putting it all back he’ll sign to us “finished” and sometimes clap his hands. It’s really adorable.
I'm a mommy of one and life partner with an amazing artist. We live in Portland, Oregon, originally from SF Bay, San Diego, and Hawaii. This blog is a pseudo book about our tales in our family business, Kitty Baby Love. We'll include some family-oriented craft tutorials and gift guides with independent artists time to time. My intention is to share something positive and honest with you.
