About Mippoos

Sewing, stitching, crocheting, quilting, knitting.. I'm just trying to remember all the things my mom has done or is still doing! The first time I fell in love with something my mom made, was when I was only about 18 months old and she sewed me a soft and cute hippo plush, including a ballet tutu, dress and pajamas. I named her Nelleke (a very Dutch name), but often pronounced it more like Mel-lik, which is actually where the M from Mippoos originates. Who would've known that Nelleke the hippo, now 24 years old, would turn out to be the first sprout in the Mippoos family and actually be Nelleke the Mippo? I remember playing with Nelleke for hours, dressing her for ballet practice or getting her ready for bed in her cute pajamas whenever it was my time for bed. My mom has actually made a few more Mippoos in the last years, mostly for friends and family. But she also creates pillow covers, quilts, heart ornaments and so much more. So I figured it would be time to help her spread the lovely Mippoos family across the world. I tackle all digital challenges (from photos, listings, SEO to marketing and logo design) and my mom creates baby shower gifts, quilts, nursery decor and many different stuffed animals (hippos, elephants, giraffes, dogs, even a crocodile!) and a lot more will follow soon!
