Hi, I’m Susan.

I’m a mom, grandmother, and a retired teacher. I started refeelthelove because I like the idea of creating items that make people happy. Having a long career working with children, I have a good idea of what drives them, what they like and how important play and creativity is to their development.

I adore the idea of breaking down an item we use in every day life and recycling it into something new and exciting we can love again. REFEEL THE LOVE came from this concept. 

I started out making these adorable sock dog canines for kids (baby shower and birthday gifts). And then it's morphed into an entirely new beast, bridging generations. A grandparent passes away and I use a pair of their socks to make a dog for their grandchild, helping him or her refeel that grandparent's love in a different way. 

I enjoy the art of amigurumi. I love the personalities it creates. In addition, I’ve begun making baby blocks. My great aunt made some for me when I had my first child. Now, full circle, I am making them for expecting mothers. The refeel the love theme surfacing again.

Everything I sell is handmade and made with love. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do creating them.
