Nakita Baby

This is my latest item for sale! The winter-time babywearing poncho! It’s so warm n’ toasty, stylish and convenient for mama and adds an extra layer of warmth for baby! Great to wear with all front a back carriers as poncho could be flipped around, though I find it easier to have baby on front for in-out of car, home, shops, errands, etc. But with a rounded neck, it could easily be reversed for a back carry position as well.

One of my most favorite gifts to mama’s and their babies are ring slings. Nakita Baby designs slings of very natural, neutral colors with vibrant and elegant batik pockets. The pockets not only add a beautiful and stunning splash of color, life and personality, but offer a versatile way to carry the basics (ie. cell phone, keys, wallet, an extra diaper!). There are three equal sized pockets across the front with a nice silky liner for added durability and just plain ‘ooh la la’!

On occasion an elegant black carrier will cross the line with it’s exciting batik to grab your eye in a heart beat!
Here a few recent slings purchased by clients.

So this is the biggest moment! The moment I’ve been waiting for…. maybe just the right ‘push’ needed to set things up and really get things rolling! Jarjusey Kunda is branching out!

I have for the last several years been making ring slings and mei tai’s for mama’s and baby’s. I can’t put into words what precious gift it is to give to a family who truly enjoys the warmth, attachment and every single second of ‘wearing your baby’. I have always made slings on a per-order request and thought for sure “one day” I would expand to making this a small family business for us. And now that time has seemed to be creeping up on us little by little!

Orders have started coming in more regularly. Return and repeat customers buying a precious sling for someone they know is pregnant, expecting their first babe! And just recently…. and ‘larger’ order from New Mexico! Yea!

What a pure joy! I love using my hands for all sorts of handicrafts, but this type of gift is too precious to give. I feel lucky to be a part of the newest movement in the States. At a time that families need this most of all. Wearing babies…. well, again, I just don’t know if I can put into words how vitally important it is not only for the babies, but the parents AND their relationship! I have been given a gift of being able to provide the biggest gift of all…. Unique and priceless all in one.

So, as Nakita Baby gets off the ground, orders can be placed just by calling (847.271.0965) or emailing me at: mommy@nakitababy.com. And keep coming back for updates on what’s-what around here! There will be new items added! Can’t wait to share them with you!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve been in touch. So much has been happening it’s been quite exciting and yet too busy to write! Where to start? Well… I was in St. Louis for a conference with CCAP and that was actually pretty fun. I was quite nervous about it because I had never slept away from the kids before, so it was nerve-wrecking at first, but soon came to enjoy my adult time away. = ) And then we had K’s BIG #5 b-day! That was a BLAST! We went to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament and what a memory that created for us all! Hmmm… OH, immediately after that SBJ was sworn in as a US citizen! That was so exciting! Then… I’ve been working on getting the craft site up and running and that’s slowly but surely getting going. I’ve filled an order for 3 new slings and that was so much fun! We’ve been wrapping up our homeschool year with the group and that’s sort of relieving to me. I am ready to move on to a new session… maybe mostly looking forward to summer… or the idea of warmth!! And lastly… just got my fun new toy! A new laptop! It’s a lot of fun! = ) *Maybe* it will encourage me to keep tabs here more often!?
