Button. Button! Who’s Got The Button?!

I’m in total destash mode.  The idea of moving ALL of my stuff is absolutely freaking me out.  I’m having little fantasies about building a little bonfire that I can clap and dance around.  Rather than alarming my neighbours and bringing in the fire crew I’m going to try and deal with all of this is a healthier way.

I’m going to be adding some more supplies to my Etsy site.  I spent some time last night photographing buttons.  I’ve had this collection for a while now and I never really get around to using them…so I thought this would be a good time to downsize.

Here’s some samples of what I’ll be offering:

And Your Little Notebook Too…

Its always super exciting to pick up my freshly bound book from Staples.  Last week I had six or seven put together, but quite a few of them sold at Skeleton Park. 

 

The process of creating these is a lot of fun.  I get to ravage local thrift shops for cute as kittens books.  Then I get to relieve all frustrations by ripping those sweet little books apart.  I get to incorporate a little sewing, scissors and my handy dandy laminating machine.

 

Check out my Etsy site to see some more details on these fantastic new pieces!

Hot Fruit

I’ve wanted to make soft toys for a long time now.  Months ago I bought a fabulous book called Softies.  Definitely one of the cuter books in my collection.  A while later I bought another book called Plush You.  That put the need for toys in overdrive.

I’ve played around with a few designs that I thought I’d like, but I was never super super pleased with the results.  Then I spent sometime with Photoshop and created a small cast of the worlds most awesomest fruit pack.  I call them Hot Fruit in homage to the notoriously funny show Strangers with Candy (please do not allow small children or your grandmother to watch this program).

Here’s your first chance to meet my newest friends….

I’ll be posting them on my Etsy soon enough.  They’re also being sold at Made 4 You in Kingston, Ontario.

I hope you like them as much as I do!

One Night With a Queen

In the newest issue of Craft there was a short and sweet tutorial for a beautiful yosegire quilt.  I’ve wanted to try quilting for a really long time but I’ve been pretty intimidated by the piecing aspect.  I think this type of quilting is the perfect way to overcome that fear.

Yesterday I hauled my two tubs of scrap fabric into the living room and starting cutting out long strips in all different lengths.  I decided that this would be a fairly light quilt top so I mainly used thrifted bed sheets.

I haven’t decided quite yet if I’ll use old flannelette sheets or actual quilt batting in the middle.  Because I’m not selling this one I could use something that is recycled.

All in all it took me about six hours to cut and sew the to together.  When finished it will fit on a queen sized bed.  Not bad for a first time if I do say so myself.  Here’s a sneak peek.

Dino Says What?

While waiting for my new screens to burn I decided to print up some stationary.  During my lino carving workshop on Saturday I made a little dino stamp.  Tonight I carved out a couple hand drawn word bubbles.  Combining the two creates on of the most lethaly cute cards ever.  Now I just have to decide on the text.  I’m thinking these dinos are feeling kittenish.

 

Dino says M-E-O-W!
