That's right! You can once again help pets with the purchase of pet toys, jewelry, and other arts  & crafts handmade by myself and my kids in our family craft shop.

We keep our prices low enough for most people to be able to enjoy these beautiful items without breaking the bank. Our shipping is free to the U.S. & Canada and we use only quality materials.

Our Mission to Help Homeless Pets Via Crafting

Those who know myself and my kids online or off likely know that we often do various things to help homeless pets. From physically saving them, to adopting or fostering, to donating money, to donating toys and more, we've been involved in animal rescue for as long as I can remember.

One of those ventures is Crafts For A Purpose, from which we donate a portion of proceeds to animal shelters. We had an Etsy shop (among others), but we since moved it all to our own venue, with more results. Many will be glad to know that the current location has all new crafts and goals!

Handcrafted Jewelry

We like to work with beads and findings to make unique pieces.  In addition to our creative stock, we also do custom orders. Glass beads, stone beads, and nickel-free findings are our favorite tools to work with.

Dog Toys & Other Pet Accessories

Our dog toys and other pet accessories are made from re-purposed clothing and other fabric in order to be Earth friendly. The other reason is that dogs, cats, and other fur kids tend to enjoy items that have been used by humans.

In addition to selling these toys and accessories, we often drop piles of them in the material donation box at a local animal shelter. Since shelter pets are often cared for by mostly material and financial donations, we feel the need to raise money, as well as donate materials they can use.

Homemade Cloth Diapers, Diaper Covers, Bibs, & Other Baby Items

Our handcrafted baby items started with inspiration from Nova Skye and has skyrocketed from there. When we learned we were expecting our baby girl's arrival, I started making cloth diapers and bibs to use with her. I just wasn't happy with the quality of choices available for cloth diapers or what companies were charging for them. My all-in-one nappies are unlike others on the market and I often make other accessories to accent them.
