Long Time, No See...

Well, January is here and it's almost over! It's been a wet, rainy month of up and down temperatures. I've been busy doing this and that, but mostly updating my stationery website. I have been adding new products, better photos, and a new web design is in the process. I've lowered prices on some items and I'm excited about all the changes! Right now, you can get 20% off your total online purchase! Woo-hoo! Go check out what's new! You'll like what you see!
I have gotten a little crafty when I've had the chance... I have been finishing up a needlepoint belt that I'm making Stephen and most recently, I made this brooch for a friend for her birthday. The background fabric is a scarf I purchased and made the brooch to match.
In other news, Elan has been really sick. Ten days of fever, aches, pains and a double ear infection to top it all of. He spent most of his time on the couch with me next to him, just sleeping or staring into space for a good 8 days. I got a lot of good reading done in that time! Once he was feeling better, his energy would come and go in short spurts. He played with the bunny...  
Bun Bun is huge- she is more like a cat than a bunny. She lives outside in a large hutch, but we bring her inside to play all the time! When she does come inside, she likes to terrorize Wrigley. She will hop through his legs or nibble his nails. He gets so jealous and grumpy...

Well, that's it for today. I'm wiped out and tomorrow is looking busy. Lord knows I could use some beauty rest. I'll be back soon!

GIVEAWAY! woo-hoo!

Are you anxious to see what the giveaway is? Well, here it is! I made this brooch this afternoon and chose theses 3 buttons to give to one lucky, crafty girl! How cute would that pin be on a black beret or beanie? I don't know about you, but I don't leave the house without a hat in this miserable weather! And I have these cute felt pins on all of them! The buttons are so fresh and bright for spring... which I am eagerly awaiting...

So, if you want to win, see how in the post directly below this one! I will randomly chose a winner tomorrow.

Felt is F-U-N!

I love to tell people I can't sew... because my mother is a wonderful seamstress that can make anything from a formal gown, to a coat, to gorgeous window treatments. Whenever I turn on the sewing machine it breaks, or clogs, or tangles, or whatever- it just doesn't work for me. So, I stitch. And felt is the perfect fabric for me to stitch on because all you do is cut and it doesn't ravel, which means no hemming, or sewing pieces together.

I started making these cute felt owls a while back, mainly for scrapbook embellishments, but I took it one step further and stitched one on a t-shirt for Anna. It turned out so cute, I made one for all my nieces in different colors. Here is Anna's:


And then I got the itch to stitch some brooches. So, I put these together:
Full of felt, fabric, tulle, and buttons, they are super cute on denim jackets and beanie style hats. They will be for sale at Temptations and the packaging is as cute as the pin itself- a great gift!
Until next time, may you be as happy as Wrigley with a jar of peanut butter.
