Designs by Miki

Designs by Miki I specialize in photographing newborns, children family, and high school seniors Paul metropolitan area for over 15 years.

I am an award winning photographer, graphic designer and crafter in the Chicago and Minneapolis/St. I am also an art historian and an archaeologist. All these experiences gives me a unique outlook and it is expressed in my crafts and pictures. I started crocheting when I was 5 about the same time I picked up my first camera. Throughout the years I have made a lot of baby blankets for my friends. I

started to branch out these last couple of years and have expanded it to include hats, scarves, purses and even dresses. I am always trying out new patterns and new ideas in order to grow my collection and my expertise’s. By looking at the world from a viewfinder instead of the world as a whole gives a unique nature to my designs. I am able to see how diverse our world is by observing how different cultures can affect each other. This gives my designs a unique blend and twist on diversity. I enrich my designs by taking time and going on outdoor photo safaris and haunting art museums. It’s very important for me to experience art that was created by man and by nature.

Sometimes diaper bags are just to big and awkward…even the back pack ones….I like to always carry a small bag inside my diaper bag so when I go on a walk, go to the park or shopping I don’t have to carry a big heavy duty bag. These “stroller” totes are great the handles are long enough so you can put them around the stroller handles. Making it convenient to grab something quickly. If Pooh is not your style we have them in many other different patterns
