There’s something sweet about seeing things wrapped up in a cute little cozy! Surprisingly there’s a cozy for just about anything. Here are some of my faves.

Etsy favorite Wednesday: Summer Heat Treasury

Posted in etsy favorites wednesday on May 5th, 2010 by Cathy — 2 Comments

So I’m going to cheat* a little this week and post a treasury I’ve fallen in love with. This Summer Heat treasury was put together by KOBrienPhotography and features bright and bold colors of pink and orange.

When I saw it my first thought was, “wow this would make an awesome color palette for the Little Peanuts new bedroom!” I pictured her crib with the baby quilt, the sock monkey sitting atop her dresser next to the memory book/photo album and the pillows lined up on the daybed (that we don’t have yet but a girl can dream!)

Click the image to go to the Etsy treasury and visit the sellers!

*I’ve been ridiculous busy with a bathroom remodel and de-cluttering our condo. The whole process deserves it’s own post so stay tuned for before and after photos!

Craft Fair: HandmadeMN Spring Market

If you’re in the Twin Cities be sure to check out the HandmadeMN Spring Market this Saturday. There will be over 45 crafters/artists selling their amazing creations. I bet you could even find a little something for Mom (in case you forgot it’s Mother’s day this Sunday!)

embe isn’t in the show but I’ll be there shopping!

Magnetic bookmark tutorial

Posted in craft tips on May 3rd, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

magnetic bookmark embroidered paper from is five... blogWhen I saw this tutorial on … is five I was instantly drawn in. First not only do I love how she embroidered the book marks I also love the colors and the practicality of it!

When I was younger I was a huge reader. My favorites started out with Beverly Cleary Ramona series then as I grew older I moved on to Sweet Valley Twins & High by Francine Pascal. Eventually I moved on to the classics of Shakespeare and Dickens then into the fantasy realm of elves and magic with R.A.  Salvatore.

Lately though I have less time for reading but do carve out time for my favorite author- Nicolas Sparks. Seeing these bookmarks makes me want to hit the bookstore and curl up on the couch with a glass of hot chocolate and escape into another world.

Click here to go to … is five and learn how to make these fun bookmarks.

These would be great for party favors or a “just because” gift for the reader in your life. I’m imagining making these for my girl when she gets older with her favorite characters on them!
