Thursday's Treasure

~*~

Awwww.  Look at baby Lyla, all snuggled up in her organic cotton snuggle set.  Big, big thanks to her mommy Mari and photographer Aubrey Stopa for sharing the photos.

There's something about a big baby yawn that is so so sweet.  She looks like a darling little bundle, that's for sure :)

If you are here reading this, I give you my biggest thanks for sticking with me during these sparse posting times.  I believe that better days are just ahead, and I look forward to catching back up with you all!

Bye, Bye Beanies!

What??? I didn't tell you that my adorable project 3 organic cotton beanies have top knots?? Silly me!!

All 10 of my little hats arrived in Texas today, where they will wait for all their *relatives* to arrive before being bundled up and heading off to India at the end of the month!

I had made all of the "normal" ones- in natural and pink and blue and green- when my mother said, "Wouldn't it just be perfect to add some in more exotic colors?" She was so right! The paprika and cumin spice up the bundle perfectly. Thanks, Mom!!

Going Organic

I'm pretty sure that when yarn store owners see me coming, they start rubbing their hands together and emitting an evil mwuahahahaha as dollar signs light up their eyes. I am unable to control myself around beautiful yarn!!

~*~

I have been toying around with a new napkin cuff design- something extra ruffly and girly- and when I saw this new color in my favorite organic yarn, that was all she wrote. I justified the purchase with the fact that I've been wanting to add more organic products to my shop. The yarn is pricey, though, and that will have to carry over to the item cost. I hope they are popular because I LOVE working with this cotton- it is just so soft to the touch and to the eye.

I finished these cuffs off with some vintage repro etched shell buttons that I have been saving for just the right project. This set of 4 will be listed in my shop ($20) as soon as I get fabulous pictures that showcase their beauty.

What supply is your major weakness? Or should I say supplies, teehee?
