Stripey Guy and Blubell are waiting patiently to go to the show next week and meet all of you in person.

Marishka

Hi I'm Marishka! I'm the newest Muk Designs doll. I have a thick head of curly, multi-colored hair, sliver moons on my cheeks, jester shoes, and a chic jersey scarf around my neck. It feels good to be completed. See you out in the world!

Peace, from Marishka and MUK.

More of these guys on the way. Little flour sack babies-they're just amusing and provide a source of entertainmnet in your day to day. Great as a gift topper or stocking stuffer. I'm even thinking of sticking pin backs on them so they can be worn "on your sleeve."

Look for flour sack baby ornaments at the Cornelia building holiday show-your reminder is coming in the mail week of Nov. 19!!

Shnoogie Detail!

The new Shnoogie Pad in more detail. Note: not all shnoogies have hand embroidery-but they are all unique and have their own details. Contact me today to find out what we can make up for you and your newborn: muk@mukdesigns.com.
Shnoogies can be used from day one-and enjoyed throughout infancy and all of childhood. Use as extra warmth in the stroller or carseat, and especially as the ultimate landing pad for your special bundle. A safe, and shnazzy place to spend time.

What is a Shnoogie Pad?

Where can a newborn baby go that will be soft, clean, inspirational, one-of-a kind and totally luxe? A Muk Designs Shnoogie Pad! Filled with 100% natural cotton batting, decorated with vintage details, and each one totally unique, this infant landing pad knows no rivals. Most recently I was commissioned to make this striking combo. Note the embroidered bird detail (thank you sublime stitching),vintage hanky, fancy trim, flannel facade and unusual color combo. At $45 these shnoogies are a steal!
