Introducing hi tree + The Land of Nod

Almost 2 years ago I connected with Michelle Kohanzo, Managing Director of Land of Nod on Instagram like this:

The answer was: I was wondering the same thing? and YES.

What I didn't say (but wanted to) was OMG YES I'VE BEEN STALKING LAND OF NOD FOR 3 YEARS YES PLEASE OMG. 

So now nearly two years later we have the hi tree + Land of Nod line with some giant plush boulder buddies, a big tree stump canopy and some super cute stroller toys and I couldn't be more thrilled. 


Transplanting this huge tree playhouse into your living room is a great idea. It features playful embroidered details, and plenty of room for your little ones to play. We tried transplanting an actual tree into the living room, but this playhouse wo…

Our Boulder Buddy Pouf is the softest rock to have ever been discovered. It's super comfy to sit on and features a super friendly face. It also weighs much less than an actual boulder buddy. Designed exclusively for us by Hi Tree.

Your baby can experience plenty of natural wonders with our Sightseeing Rattle. Each super soft rattle features a friendly face and fabric loop that attaches to strollers or activity gyms. Designed exclusively for us by Hi Tree.

New web site yay!

This is a momentous occasion. After almost 7 years of being in business I finally have MY OWN website. That I built. Say whaaaat? Yes, It has literally taken me FOREVER to accomplish but I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF. Add "web designer" to my list of skills and duties.  

I'm still getting used to this fancy new blog engine for new blog posts. Luckily I was able to import my old blogger posts here. You will find those below. 

A few exciting things happening. Here's the short list:

Hi Tree is currently featured in the latest issue of Stuffed Magazine. This is a super cute magazine packed with great plush artists. I'm so honored they chose me to be in the issue.

Also, photographer Jack Strutz came by my home studio for his photo series "A Day Spent". 

"If the LA based home studio of plush maker Tina Rodas was a person, it would be the identical twin Tina never knew she had."

Yes, I agree with you, Jack. Thank you. It looks like a unicorn puked all over my studio.
