My Spare Time


In my few spare moments, I create and sell my items alongside a long-time friend on Etsy.


We're just two moms with a lot of kids that are seeking to make our few moments of spare time worth it. Everything we sell in our shop is either made by one of us or one of our children (or maybe even a team effort)! We have some bio kids, but we've also been to Ethiopia and Russia to bring some of our kids home. Who knows where we'll go next...

100% of our profit goes to make a dent in the statistic of 147 million orphans because we believe every child has a right to a family.

When we began this crazy venture of selling things on Etsy, we made a promise to each other that what you see in our shop would be made in our spare time--it would not take over our lives. Whether it's crocheting, sewing or something else we've decided to be creative at, you can bet it came out of a personal need. Whether it be a simple, shoulder purse for a simple mom to throw her simple things into, hats for keeping heads warm or a Man Bag so the boys don't feel left out, each pattern we've concocted has been tested by our families!



With our profit, we've been able to make a donation to Reese's Rainbow and we helped bring one of my daughters home from Eastern Europe.
