![]() We live on a small farm in Ohio with a herd of animals. We raise our own meat, can our vegtables, tap Maple trees for syrup in the winter, collect eggs from the coop and honey from our bees. Homesteading is one of my favorite things! I work full time outside the home + part time as the Nursery/Coordinator at our church. I sew dollies in the evenings looking out the old farmhouse window, praying over every single one. What a blessing to have had the privilage of sewing dolls the past 15 years! I see them as seeds tossed out into the world!
May they land in fertile soil and be used mightily by God!

Baby be Blessed' (history)
I started making primitive dolls in 2002. In 2007, started making dolls for children and then added scripture to each one toward the end of that year.
In 2008, Baby be Blessed was official and God opened many doors. We have sewn thousands of dolls to people all over the world!
Obviously, I couldn't have done it myself!! God met every need. I met Laura online after she purchased a doll for her daughter Carly in 2018. Laura is married to Chris and was blessed to stay at home with their three children at the time. Chris has helped us with design work throughout the years and Laura worked with all of our scripture patch confirmations and did a lot of customer service for us. Laura went back to work in 2015. We are so thankful for the years we had together! <3
![]() (Laura + Tina 2008) Lori started sewing for Baby be Blessed in 2009. Tina and Lori met at Church. She is married to Terry and homeschooled their daughter. Lori was our main seamstress for TEN years!! She would cut and sew groupings of dolls as well as helped out in any area needed such as organizing...ect. As their daughter graduated and headed off to college, Lori returned to work in 2019 resulting in turning off the sewing machine for Baby be Blessed.
(Lori + Tina 2011)
In 2015 I returned to working outside the home as well and honestly it has been hard, my heart is at home. But God has been faithful. Though I thought Baby be Blessed would fizzle out many times, He has susstained it. It may look different now but I am so thankful to use the gift of sewing simple dolls and consistantly giving it back to Him to use for His glory. I'm thankful! -Tina
