hello there

Who doesn't love gold, grey, and minty blue??  I sure am in love with the combination.  Here is a newish design I created.  It's inspiring some changes in my shop.....

Have a happy Monday, y'all!
** I linked this post up to Sew Chatty's Made with Love link party. 

congratulations cards

One of my favorite clients had me make congratulations cards to give to new parents.  She wanted boy themed, girl themed, and gender neutral themed cards.  I had a blast making these and am thinking of making more to post in my etsy shop.... what do you think??

embellished envelopes

My new favorite thing?  Ruffled envelopes. 

Step 1: Get a diet coke cold from the refrigerator.  Cut lots of strips of gold paper. Note: diet coke is very important for all crafting sessions.

Step 2: Ruffle the paper and sew it onto kraft envelopes.  Trim excess paper strips and stray pieces of thread.

Step 3: Enjoy your embellished envelope.

Have a great weekend!  I hope you're all surrounded by scraps of paper :)

grey patchwork stationery

I love making things for people who appreciate them.  I find so much joy in creating so when someone else likes what I make, I am instantly happy.  I immediately move that person to the top of my "remember to make things for these people" list.  Well, such a list doesn't actually exist, but it does in my mind!

Anyway, my friend Sarah of go deep. find truth. commented on one of my stationery packs on Instagram.  I was so touched and instantly wanted to make her a mini pack as a little happy.  I sent her this little package and she was so sweet to do a write up on her blog about it.  I promise...that wasn't my intention...I just wanted to brighten her day.  Well she made my day with her blog entry so it was a nice little win-win for both of us :)

Here's said mini pack...

sewing on paper

I wish I could spend every nap time sewing on paper and catching up on my favorite tv shows.  Well I can't do that every nap but I did on Friday!

Happy weekend everyone!
