I “Happy Birthday” You

My friend Bernard just had a big birthday so I used my I “blank” You card and made a birthday card!

Happy Birthday!!!

What would you draw?!

DIY needlepoint kit

AMH Design booth was also at the trunk show last Saturday and I found it really interesting! They have a DIY needlepoint kit! Here are kit contents from their website… see here for more information.

With these kits, you can make your own needlepoint photo albums and journals — how neat!

and needlepoint key chain, too.

For your crafty friends, this might make a cool gift!

Snowflake Holiday Gift Tag

I have worked on another snowflake linoleum the other day! This time it’s a little smaller scale – about 2×2 inches. It came out so nice and I made holiday gift tags by using the prints.

Just got done curving the lino:

Used silver ink:

Stamped “To” and “From”

Punched a hole and had red hemp thread go through and here it is!

Happy Friday, everyone! I am traveling back to New York – see you on Monday!

*I am giving away this holiday gift tag for all purchases you make at my etsy store. Happy shopping!

DIY :: Maia’s Sweater

I actually crocheted this sweater last winter when Maia was 4-5 months old and it was really big on her (I was a little disappointed), so I put it away all winter and didn’t see it since. This weekend, I was pulling Maia’s winter clothes as I was pulling mine out and I saw this sweater, put it on her, and found out that it fits her perfectly now! She has grown so much! (She is going to be 1 year old in a week, so exciting.) Now I’m glad that I made it in this size. She likes wearing clothes, too!

It looks too bright of a purple when I use flash… but you can see it better here.
