I'm Carly, a wife to a pretty spectacular guy, momma to two beautiful boys ages 3 and 3 and a half months, occasional mommy/lifestyle blogger at www.frecklesandcheeks.com, and Registered Practical Nurse. While being off on maternity leave I've found myself craving something new. I've never been the 'craftiest' person but I have dabbed in the odd project here and there. Since I do have a little tim
e to myself, I thought I would try my hand at making chewable jewelry (chewlry/chewlery/chewelry) and teethers for little ones. When my first son was a baby, he absolutely loved chewing on my nose and chin and because he didn't cut his first tooth until after 11 months old, I never assumed he was doing this as a means to alleviate any discomfort in his gums.I just thought it was something cute he liked to do. Mom guilt hit when I realized after he finished teething that I never really had any teethers or chewable toys for him. He had the odd toy here and there but nothing specifically designed for teething babies or small children. His hands, my face, and the buttons on our remote controls mainly took the brunt of his mouth pain. Now here I am with my second son not wanting to make the same mistake again. I decided a few weeks after he was born that I wanted to create some personalized chewable items for him and that spiraled into making items for others and now here we are! All pieces are one-of-a-kind as I try not to replicate the same designs over and over again. Don't see anything for your little or you? Feel free to send me a message and we can work on something custom!
