Winter Project...

is now becoming my spring project. I am so close to finishing the knitting part. =) I love the colors! I believe my dear friend, Sarah, got this skein of yarn from the Purl Bee in NY. If you are in NY you gotta check them out! I didn't want to leave when I was there.

Felt Fun

This past weekend, Lisa and I attended a retreat up near the Santa Cruz mountains. It was a good time of getting away from the business of the world. While we were there, our friend packed a whole bag of crafty, felty, fun goodness for us to play with. Here were some of our creations! I'll be the first to admit that I'm not that great with my hands when it comes to hands-on crafts; that is more Lisa's forte, but I absolutely love participating and these felt projects were ridiculously easy that I could even attempt to produce something decent. Some of the creations were floral barettes, a persimon and an sunny-side up egg.



At the site, there was also this plump and juicy bluejay hopping around who couldn't seem to fly because his body weight was holding him down. According to the camp staff, he takes the mini coffee dairy cream from the coffee bar and drinks it. He also didn't seem too nervous around people so I had to steal a myspace angle shot with him. We were so inspired by the bird that someone made a felt clip out of him :)
Here are some of the templates we used: fried egg pattern, persimmon pattern, elephant pattern, rose barrettes.

Clutch These!

Loving these satin clutches by Etsy seller Emma Gordon London. She does them in some nice color coordinates so they'd also make great bridesmaids gifts.

A Safari Party

A safari birthday party theme apparently born from a Martha Stewart elephant punch out featured on Petite Productions. There are so many fun details done by Evan's mom and I love that the little elephant shows up everywhere!

Aren't these fun? They are called Green Marker by Japanese studio yuruliku DESIGN. You can buy them at Green Marker but I'd imagine they aren't too difficult to reproduce :). Love the concept.

Kristin Sanchez - Magnificent Bliss

Today, my coworker showed me a birthday party invitation his friend Kristin Sanchez designed for her one-year old daughter. I immediately loved the vintage feel of the illustration and went to see what other goodies she had on her Etsy. I do hope to see more of her illustrated work in her store. Take a look at the initial drawing and the final product of the birthday invitation. Don't forget to check out her blog.
