Beyond “Warm and Fuzzy”

For most people, the “warm fuzzies” are intangible.

Artisan Kristin Oxnard makes them, not just tangible, but snuggle-able.

Through her small business, Fuzzie Dot, Kristin designs and sews some of the softest, and very possibly the cutest, kids’ blankets on the planet.

Think elephants, unicorns, cats, bears and the list goes on! What’s special about each is that Kristin starts with her own patented design, crafting each blanket from a circle. Then, she’ll add ribbons to make the blanket interactive for her small customers. And these round extra-soft blankets are designed to last a lifetime.

BUT–they’re not just for kids.

Kristin also has designed a line of luxury snuggle-ables for us “big kids”!

Called “Luxie Dots”, these are ultra-soft, fringed throws that evoke images of winter nights by the fire, and crisp mornings warmed by hot tea and cozy covers.

Kristin, who will be exhibiting at the Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair in Pasadena in November and in Burbank in December, also takes custom orders. And she has a lot of new creations–including some ultra-soft non-blanket items!–that you might like to consider for early Christmas shopping! Here she is, as our first featured artisan of Christmas season 2021.

If you’re out and about (remember to be safe, wear your mask and social distance, OK?), be sure to check out Kristin’s work at the Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair, Saturday and Sunday, November 20th and 21st. 10 am to 4 pm in Central Park, Pasadena, 275 South Raymond Avenue (at Del Mar). Or, in the Burbank area, on Saturday and Sunday, December 11th and 12th, from 10 am to 4 pm on San Fernando Boulevard between Magnolia and Olive, in downtown Burbank. Admission to Jackalope Indie Artisan Fair is free.
