Goooooooonies!!

Love this. Found it on OMG posters, and they directed me to Mondo, and I love it. WANT. Such a cute representation of one of my favorite movies!

Giraffes!!

I just added two new, similar onesies to my shop. Trying to gain focus, and thought that this lil guy was super cute! Let me know what you think...

Project research: throw pillows

So I have taken on the task of making some throw pillows for my couch. I'm going to take Mick shopping with me for fabric, because after all its his couch too...but I am browsing Etsy for ideas and cute pillows that people are making and selling. I thought I would share my research. It's been a few days since I posted last, once again flaking on the Etsy tag Monday, so I am going to make up for it with some cute pillow listings.


I kind of love this fabric. Honestly, there are only so many places that a funky chicken fabric would work in my house, but I might make an exception for this pillow. Couch Potatoes etsy shop has quite a few unique pillow fabric choices. Definitely worth taking a look. I also like the simplicity of the design, as I think its something I am capable of making.



I adore the incorporation of my newest favorite thing into this pillow, the minky fabric. Its so soft. This pillow would be perfect to the touch for any little one to sit with. If you look through Icing on the cupcake's Etsy shop, you can find matching blankets as well.






Just for fun I love this whole store. DiffractionFiber has some of the best, most creative, delicious pillows out there. This fortune cookie is just one of the many food pillows that you can find in this shop. Looks comfy too!





If I didn't think that these would get trashed with my pets running amuck, I would consider these adorable scrabble tile pillows. I highly recommend Pillow Happy's shop. Birds, olives, pears, coral, pillows for geeks...whatever you want on a pillow, its likely there. Browse. DO IT!

Branching out!

I made my first baby blanket to add to my Wunzees Etsy shop. I finally busted out the sewing machine that Mick bought me, and put it to work with some of my fabric that has just been siting around, waiting to be used. I can see that this is a learning curve but I liked my first attempt so much that I am selling it.

Expect to see more blankets from me. It was fun, a challenge, and while many may be laughing at how I'm making a big deal out of something so simple....I've been doing nothing but hand-stitching till now. The Brother sewing machine may become my new best friend (if I can find my misplaced instruction manual) :)


What do you think??

tape!

This may be my new favorite thing that I don't have but want, and I dont know what I would do with. I mean, aside from the obvious and use it as tape. But, honestly, its too pretty to JUST use as tape. Maybe create my own cards, or send fun packages to people? Happytape is colored Japanese masking tape, which I guess is now being sold in the United States. It is made of Japanese washi paper. I want it.

Think of all the fun you could have with this.

Or this


Here is some examples of what people are using this for via their blog. Seriously...I may invest in some. Just to have around. Its gorgeous.
