The Sitting Tree : handmade, free~spirited life
Offering: upcycled longies, wool dryer balls, knitting patterns, hand knits, hand dyed yarn, homemade soap, wood buttons and tree branch ornaments.
………………………….
Today’s giveaway is brought to you by WoolyMossRoots Sponsor- The Sitting Tree.
I’ve already written here before about how much I love Liz’s shop and her knitting patterns. (And I’ve knitted quite a few of her patterns: Clyde Bonnet, Simple Slippers, Women’s Wrap Bracelet, and Spring Easter Eggs.) Liz and her family have been starting their homestead from scratch and have been in the process of building their own home. You can follow their inspiring journey on Liz’s blog and stay in touch with The Sitting Tree on their facebook page.
I’ll let Liz tell you more.
Liz: We are Liz and Mike, a pair newbie off grid homesteaders, living in the north woods of Wisconsin. We share our life with a trio of wildly creative and beautiful unschooled boys, an English Setter called Bailey, and a reclusive black cat who wandered into the house a few years ago and never left.
How did your business come to be?
Liz: Our business began under an apple tree. I spent one whole summer teaching myself to knit, watching my kids tend their plots in the garden, counting stars, identifying plants, insects and animals, and wondering how I could combine all the bounties of nature into every aspect of our life, including work.
I began selling custom hand knit clothing, then moved onto pattern design and dyeing fiber. Customers kept asking for hand knits, but I didn’t have the time to put into custom work. Instead, I started working with thrifted wool sweaters, and fell in love with repurposing clothing and accessories! Recently, my husband joined me in crafting hand made soaps and working with recycled wood. As our family changes and grows, so do our products. You never know what may end up in the shop!
Our business is an extension of our daily lives. Each product in our shop is used every day in our home, and the process of creating is integrated into living, learning, and work. Most days, it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
For today’s giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a set of 5 Tree Branch Ornaments.
In addition to the giveaway, The Sitting Tree is offering 10% off everything in the shop when you use the coupon code: WOOLYMOSSROOTS10 at checkout.
International entries are welcome. The giveaway will be open through Thursday, November 13th and the lucky winner will be chosen (and sent an e-mail with the happy news) on Friday, November 14th.
To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment in this post (located at the top of this post.) Simple as that. For a second entry, “like” The Sitting Tree on facebook and leave a second comment on this post letting me know you’ve done so.
Comments Closed. The winner is Becca. Congrats!
