After many years of not touching her sewing machine, Fournier decided to start creating again and made many things she wanted to have when her baby arrived. The name of her business comes from the nicknames Fournier’s best friend gave her and her son — Liss and Landi .

She also learned much on her own, by just pushing through the frustration of not understanding something.Growing the business
The wrap booties have snapped cuffs to help prevent a baby from kicking them off. They are soft and comfy for the chilly weather that is coming. But when deciding what to make next, she typically goes to customers and family for inspiration.

Earlier this year, Fournier had a woman reach out to her about possibly making some hemp bamboo face cloths for her spa. She was looking for an organic option for her customers and loved the cloths that she made and sold on Etsy. Fournier says they worked together to create a size that fit her needs, the owner sent custom labels to sew onto the cloths and ordered 250 of them. Her spa is located in Australia.
