Easter Gifts from Creative Catholic Moms!

For those of you looking for sweet small handmade gifts for Easter, I highly recommend my friend Clare Marmalejo's Etsy Store, Little Red Whimsy .  Clare buys castoff wool sweaters, felts them, and sews them into wee hats and mats for little gnome people she creates.  Her store has become quite popular this Easter, but I believe there are still a few gnome sets left: along with fairy furniture , mushroom necklaces , and gnome houses .  Clare, who now has two little girls with her husband Nick, still lives in a cottage and still loves creating adorable toys for children! Another good artistic friend of mine has opened her own store, selling tiny saint dolls just perfect for an Easter basket: St. Anne's Pixies . Jennifer Flippen, mother of four, crafts saint dolls from wire and wool felt, painting their faces and small accessories, such as St. Zita's kitchen table ,  St. Martha's bread , and  St. George's horse !  She also sells rosary pouches , Miraculous Medal ea
