Testimonials

See what all the buzz is about!  Some comments from my wonderful customers . . .

“The blue baby blanket you made for my son is absolutely gorgeous! We received a few other blankets, but none of them compared to yours in terms of skill and beauty! Thank you!”
Amber ~ Arkansas

 “The blanket you made for Kate is so soft and well made.  I love the stitching pattern.  It will be cherished for many years to come.  Also, the hat is simply adorable and was perfect when Kate was a newborn. “

“I received the hats today and they are absolutely adorable - I love them!!!!  It wasn't very cold out today but windy so I put the brown/pink hat on my little girl when I went to pick up the kids from school and I got so many wonderful compliments on it. Even people at church that I don't know came up to me to check out her new hat.
Thank you so much!”
Nicole ~ Connecticut

Store Policies

Ordering

To order, please e-mail me at kakalderman@verizon.net with the items you would like to order, colors, and sizes.  All orders are custom made at the time of the order.  Orders are processed once payment has been received in full.  Please allow time for your payment to be received and processed, the order to be completed, and shipping.  Rush orders may be available for a small fee ~ please contact for more information.  All items are handmade and no two items will be alike.  At the time of your order, I will give you an approximation of the time it will take to make your item and ship.

Payment

Payments can be made in cash, check or via PayPal.  As stated above, orders will not be started until payment has been received and processed in full (checks cleared by the bank, etc.). 

Shipping

Orders are shipped via USPS using their “flat rate boxes.”  Small boxes ship for $5, medium boxes ship for $11, and large boxes ship for $14.  Once your order is placed, I will let you know the amount for shipping your order.  I will try my best to ship in the smallest box that will allow your order to arrive in good shape!  Most orders will ship in the medium box, as very little can fit in the small one.

Fabrics/Patterns

Pictures of the fabrics and patterns available are represented with each item that requires a fabric.  Please know that once a pattern is gone, it is usually gone for good so please order quickly if you are in LOVE with a certain pattern!  I do not always have large quantities of a pattern pictured so I cannot guarantee that pattern will be available until you place your order.  Check back often for new patterns added!

Extra Customization

Most items are sold exactly as they are described in each section.  If you have a particular color of fabric or yarn that you are interested in and do not see it listed for that item, please contact me and we can discuss other options.  There may be more cost involved for that item if I need to order it online or pay more for it than the usual item.

About the Artist

Welcome to Milk & Honey!

Exodus 3:8 - “So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up for that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey . . .”

Copy of new do!

My name is Kristin and I am so happy to have you here!  I love Jesus Christ first and foremost and am grateful to Him for giving up His life so that I can have eternal life!!  I am a stay at home mom of two beautiful little girls and I am married to the love of my life.  We live in Texas in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. 

I have been sewing and crocheting since I was about 15 years old.  My little business started out as Snow Day Designs back in 2002.  After a name change in 2009 and many new products, I decided to finally take my chances and start an online store.  Up to this point, my creations have only been seen in baby showers and during family Christmases, so I’m excited to bring them to you!

I hope you enjoy the website and please contact me with any questions.  Everything is custom made and many more custom features can usually be added.  Also, check out my craft/recipe blog at
