handmade gift guide...

i went to two craft shows this year VTGCLT and The Big Crafty in asheville to buy my christmas presents and i scored big time. at VTGCLT i met up with one of my favorite jewelry designers Anna Johnson and also met the girls from GEOflora jewelry. i'm wearing two of there bracelets above, i was soooo impressed with there style and craftsmanship. The Big Crafty was insane.... so much good craft and art it was crazy!! i got to see anna johnson again and bought some beautiful earrings, here's a list of my favorites from the show:

spray magic...

a little before and after quick project. i was cleaning up my laundry room and discovered a bunch of half done projects so i quickly finished them up with some matte black spray paint left over from another project. the basket is now a baby bed, for our ever growing baby collection and the cup hanger i'm going to use for my crocheted mushrooms, and the other thing i think i will use to collect mail and stuff...

charm stitch...

i've been thinking about doing a banner similar to this for awhile, then i saw this gem on pinzterest yesterday, i love the colors she used. i am going to put this in my ideas folder to make at a later date...

cloud dress...

we celebrated junie's lil friend stella's first birthday on saturday!!! i made her a dress, since i got this pattern down... this cloud fabric was another one of sol's old tee shirts that i printed on probably almost a year ago. i used some screen printing fabric ink and mixed it with a tiny bit of acrylic to get the color i wanted and i made the cloud stamp from some lino, everything from michaels. and junie tried to eat the donut off the package...ha
again dress pattern here: summer frock from freshly picked

baskets...

i love making stuff to store stuff in, baskets made from some thrifted yarn my mom gave me. wooden fruit i thrifted a couple weeks ago for junie's play kitchen. with the help of a good friend i'm trying to "montessori" my house, i get so excited thinking up all of the opportunities of making stuff for her to play and learn.
