Hello friend! You are welcome here! Little Nest Creative is a handmade business specializing in fiber arts, specifically embroidery. It is my desire to help inspire the creation of items that feel like home.
The business was birthed when I became a new mom, and longed to have something for ME again. It started as a few stitches as my baby napped, and eventually "a few" became too many for our home. I began making them for friends, and eventually selling. When I became pregnant with our second born, I taught myself to sew, mostly for selfish reasons as I wanted to make things for her, but again, little babies grow fast, and I wanted to expand my business.
Now, I continue to make physical products with my hands, but I also get so much joy from teaching others some of the skills I've learned as a stay at home mom, creative entrepreneur.
Through the pandemic we had our third child, and my business took a backseat while I navigated life with 2 kids at home with postpartum anxiety. It's so exciting to be creativing again, and I'm feeling so refreshed to get back to this inspiring work!
Thankyou for being here, and for allowing me to create from my authentic heart.
The “you are enough” embroidery kit was just what I needed to start my embroidery journey. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, the colours are stunning and the message is so needed in our day and age. I couldn’t be happier with my product!

I love my little project bag! It's the perfect size for one skein projects and it's cute as a button. Melissa also made it custom and super quickly and the quality is fabulous! Thanks Melissa for the beautiful piece!

We are over the moon excited to hang this beautiful piece of hand embroidered art in our daughters nursery. Wrapped with care and delivered in great time.

Wonderful to collaborate with, I gave her some of my story and how I envision it through an embroidery hoop. She created something better than what I even imagined. Definitely a lovely piece on my wall.

Looking for the most perfect winter breakfast or after school snack? This is the recipe for you! Filled with nutritious oats, frozen berries, warm milk, its cozy, delicious, and SO comforting to eat.
The very (or should I say BERRY) best recipe for brunch, this is a "make the night before" dish, which in my opinion makes it worthy of Christmas morning, or any other brunch you want to roll out of bed and eat 45 minutes later with nearly zero effort the morning of. Dollop with whipped cream and warm fresh syrup, or eat bare, it's a winner. Have I sold it yet? Trust me you'll want to make it and pass it along to your friends.
