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!

Etsy favorite Wed: Baby sewing patterns

Posted in etsy favorites wednesday on April 28th, 2010 by Cathy — Be the first to comment!

With a craft room/office in the horizon I’m already imagining myself at the sewing machine whipping up some adorable baby items for my Little Peanut. These are just a few of the amazing patterns I found!

etsy patterns for girls

First row: Madeline tie apron dress,  baby sneakers, boutique style swing dress

Second row: Ruffled diaper covers, Mademoiselle coat, Liberty lion plush

Wow! Three of these patterns have already sold in between yesterday and today… yes it actually took me a day and a half to get this post up! It’s hard to work with little fingers tugging at my legs and saying “mama!”

The whole reason why I learned how to crochet was to make amigurumi. Can you blame me? Just look at these adorable patterns!

I can’t wait until the little peanut gets old enough to play with pretend food so I can whip up some cupcakes, cookies and of course veggies.

Someday I hope to have a home office that I can outfit with these amazing items. Right now I work at our kitchen counter and could really use that space back for things like eating! It would also be nice to not have to put everything away each day only to have to pull it out in the morning again.
