Ah so many pretty fun things to look in Kristena Derrick’s Etsy shop Thimbly Things. I’m such a fan of embroidery hoop art and I really love the fun patterned fabric she uses. These give me warm fuzzies.
Kissa Design’s Star Urchins are so fun! Love the idea of using them as place holders.

I’m obsessed with these new woodland owl wing headbands from Sleepy King! I love the colors she uses! I also had to post this bunny just because it matched and is adorable.
Check out this cool (and simple!) tutorial from Inside, Out one of the Readymade blogs! So cute!
Just heard about this! CraftyCon 2010 in Chicago! How cool! Can’t wait to get more info about this event. Anyone know anything about this?
My boyfriend got me Washi tape for Christmas this year. I’m obsessed, I use it all the time! When I saw this tape by Stella Bugbee I got so excited. I WANT! Available here.
Mallory from Chud City makes super neat clothing and accessories! In her shop you’ll find lots of fun recycled materials and wonderful crochet creations. I especially love this obi belt (above) and this crafty chic crochet belt! Check out her shop!
I’ve been drooling over craft superstar Yokoo’s creations for a while now and realized I’ve never blogged her wonderful work! Her photographs are are so beautiful and artistic I would totally frame them and put them on my walls as art. I want her pom pom necklace and hair bow so freaking bad!
Oh, how I love EVERYTHING in Ninainvorm’s shop! So much talent! If you want to see more of her fabulous work, check out her blog!
The sale is on NOW through December 31st! Check it out!
I’m peeing my pants in excitement because the Renegade Craft Fair is THIS WEEKEND in Chicago! Be there or be square!
First off, I apologize for not updating recently, school has me busy with lots of projects already. So, I have a super fantastic post for you as an apology for the lack of posts! Les Monstris from Ninon completely blow my mind! This is some serious softie talent. I really can’t even describe the awesomeness of these little guys, you’ll just have to see for yourself! Also, check out Ninon on Etsy!
I am so pumped for Jay McCarroll’s (the season 1 winner of Project Runway) new fabric collection, “Germania“. Here’s the description from Free Spirit,
“Somewhere in the valley of bed bugs bugging and kooky crawlers crawling lies a place called GERMANIA where facemasks and hand sanitizer are strictly prohibited. Come celebrate an infectious good time care of your hosts the nerggles, the gwarbbles and the gablobs. Who says all germs are bad? Being clean is boring. Get a little dirty with GERMANIA.”
I think the description says it all. How perfect to do a collection celebrating germs! Too funny.
Here is something that I really wish more companies would get into. Now for $8 you can snag up a bag of over 1.5 lbs (aprox. 75 pieces) of American Apparel’s scrap fabric for your own crafty DIY pleasures. I am scrap obsessed and would love to play around with some of the textiles used by clothing companies I like. I think this is a great way to reduce waste in clothing factories.
My mom works in the sewing room of Dimension Design, a company that makes large fabric tension displays. They amount of scrap that is thrown into the trash is unbelievable. My mom is always bringing home gigantic, wonderful, but slightly flawed, masses of fabric. We always seem to find ways to reuse and re-purpose them. Companies selling usable scrap from the production of their goods is a wonderfully simple thing they can do to help the environment and put a few more cents in their pocket. I love that the DIY movement is inspiring the big guys to try some new green ideas.
The Urchin Pouf by Christien Meindertsma. Rich bold color, simple shape, great texture… I must have one! I love giant knitting!
The newest embroidered wall hanging at Cake Eaters. I’m really proud of this one!
Love these beautiful rosette fascinators from Giant Dwarf.
Be on the lookout for the Farfallette Fascinator coming soon to her Etsy shop! They are made from recycled corduroy trousers and are just as cute as can be.
Love these studded ballet flats! I like the idea of adding a tough and edgy touch to something so sweet and feminine. You can find these at the lovely Bona Drag. But, shhh… I really think this is a good idea for an easy diy project! I’m going to start looking on Ebay for some cheap ballet slippers!
