The Love List

Oh my goodness....what a fun morning! I've had the heebie-geebies all week long worrying about this Studio5 spot I was asked to participate in and it ended up being the funnest, funnest thing....not scary at all (once I was there)!

Every month Studio5 presents it's "Love List" ... local products that they love. Here is a peek at the segment if you missed it.

It was such a cool experience to get to see the behind the scenes action. Everyone was so nice. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

All of the products on todays show were things that would be great to give as baby gifts, there were some really cute things, and some super creative ladies sharing them. Here are some links if you want to take a peek.

• Snuggly, yummy baby bunting by HotchPotch Girls,
• Little Stinker Butt Spray (cracks me up...oops, no pun intended)
• Adorable little crocheted baby booties by Curious Workmanship

Picture Perfect

I love it when I get to see my work all finished and hanging on an adorable little child. If this little guy doesn't "make the world a cuter place to live" then I don't know who does! This picture was sent to me by Tiffany Hix, one of Boise's premier photographers. Her work is stunning! You can check it out at tiffanyhix.com. If you are from the Boise area, make sure you click on her blog for info on photography classes. I would if I lived there!

New In Shop

Spending the weekend working on ties.

The Valentine tie is in the shop, others coming soon!

Man Towels

Yesterday I visited Brandi, from Rosie's. I got to see her latest creation, her adorable little kids, and her new stash of vintage patterns. She taught me how to use elastic thread (although it still isn't working on my machine) and we talked all things handmade. I enjoyed myself so much, what a doll. She told me that ever since she made Madi one of her little bath towel sets all Mad's wants to do is take a bath. I told her that she had inspired me to make Nate and Big B each a "man towel" (you know the kind that wrap around the middle like a...dare I say...skirt).

So, that's what I did.

(They wouldn't be caught dead modeling, sorry!)

They are super simple, another one of those "if you can sew a straight line you can sew this" projects . I bought two $3.00 towels from you know where. I cut B's in half length wise, since he's a bigger guy (he's got the body of an NFL player) and for Nate's I just cut the end off of the other towel.


I surged the raw edges, put a strip of hook and loop tape on both of the top corners and sewed a big monogram on the corner. And there you have it.....A MAN TOWEL.
