Cold Cold Puppies!

My baby puppy (he isn't really a baby) has been so so cold the last few days. By the time I figure out what to dress him in, the cold snap will be over.

These are the best things I found browsing Etsy for keeping your puppy warm. Be sure to check out this treasury to visit these great shops.

Of course some of these things just keep your puppy looking good, not so much warm.

New Technique - Paper Flowers

I have wanted to make these paper flowers for some time now. If you go to You Tube and search for paper flower instructions and there are lots of great videos that can teach you. They are surprisingly easy to make and you can make them in lots of different sizes.

One thing to keep in mind is that the flowers end up being somewhat tall so might not be the best for mailing on a card.

Here are some I have been making:

Now go create!

Vintage on Etsy

Just want to share some of the wonderful vintage shops on Etsy. If you love vintage, be sure to check out these shops. I know I want them ALL!

Click HERE to visit this treasury on Etsy. From there you can browse these shops and more...One of the best Christmas gifts I got this year was a pair of Vintage Owl Salt and Pepper shakers. They inspired me to look for more vintage S&P shakers. These are some very retro cool ones.

Gifts for a Leo

My son is really into astronomy and has just gotten interested in astrology. I was looking around for some "Leo" themed presents for him. Before I knew it was creating this treasury as a gift guide for Leo's.

Craft Fair Season!

Well the Craft Fair season is in full swing! I have been to two so far and I have another one on Dec. 4th. I have resumed sewing sock creatures! Sometimes a break is all you need to clear your head and start creating again.


Please ignore the wrinkled tablecloth! I promise to iron it before the next craft fair (well I promise to ask Jeff to iron it).

Here are the new sock creatures!

I sold the two with eye patches. Boys love a good eye patch! So questions:

• Would you be more likely to buy if each creature had a name?
• Can you provide me with some names? HA!
