Ever since I can remember worms give me the willies. I dreaded the walk to school on rainy mornings because I knew they would be out in full force. Even now I don’t know if it’s the thought of squishing them (in my head I always imagine they would make a “squish” noise and I would feel their little bodies crumpling under my weight- ewwww!) or the thought of holding their slimy bodies that creep me out more.

We just got over a bout of rain the last few weeks so they’ve been on my mind but these worms are adorable and I wouldn’t mind having them around!

It feels like it went from summer to fall overnight here in MN! While I’m not fond of the cooler weather I do love that it gives me a reason to wear my knit hats and scarves. I’ve got enough to outfit the Brady Bunch but I’m sure I’ll be making a few more this year as I do every year! The trees are still pretty green but I’m looking forward to seeing the beautiful yellow, reds and oranges that come with the changing weather.

First row: Fall harvest rosette headband, Autumn walk print, Long pure wool cable knit gloves

Second row: Circle scarf, Cutaway hat, Fall as I remember it print

We had a rainy July 4th morning and every once in awhile we get to see the most gorgeous rainbows (like this one). There wasn’t one for us to see that morning so I’ve made my own! Here is my rainbow….

I may have to change the theme to treasuries because now that I’ve made one I see what the love is about!

Wow where did the week go?! Wednesday came and passed in a blink of an eye. Time sure does pass quickly when you’re not paying attention. Which is the perfect segway into this awesome treasury by fellow HandmadeMN team member SacredSuds. She’s a treasury curator extrodinare, always creating such wonderful collections.

Summer has just arrived but Autumn will be here before you know it! This treasury is dreaming of autumn in MN.

This weeks edition is for the men! (I know it’s a day late… ) Initially I began looking for items for my hubby but as I added items I realized it was more akin to my TV crush Neal Caffrey then my husband. I admit it,  I got a thing for White Collars Neal Caffrey and my husband doesn’t mind. Matt Bomer himself is easy on the eyes but I just love how he portrays Neal – charming, sexy and sophisticated and not to mention uber smart.

So Neal, these are for you. I imagine you have a gamer side hidden in there somewhere hence the Pac-Man napkin holder which you would probably use for mail because really, with all your riches you’re not going to get your own napkin.

Enjoy and tell me about your own TV crush!

First row: Soft laptop bag, The Henley- denim fedora, SHIMMER – silver/black leather watch

Second row: Sterling silver money clip, LEGO ghost napkin holder, Hand stitched leather wallet

The rainy weather we’ve been getting inspired this weeks theme!

First row: Rainy day gift card, Rainy day umbrella tee, Bad day journal

Second row: Rainy day necklace, i heart rainy days earrings, Rainy day digital illustration

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.

(Links to shops are below the image)

First row: Mini wallet, Cell phone case, Poppy tea cozy

Second row: Pocket tissue cozy, Little man cocoon, hand crocheted apple cozy

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!)

*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!
