Awesome Ampersand!

19 Mar

We are totally crushing on this hot pink ampersand featured in a home tour on Design Sponge.  You can see more of the tasty interior on the DS Sneak Peek. Maybe we should spruce up our own doorways with a little DIY using our wooden ampersand cutout.

Seen in the Wild: Vintage Fabric Shopper Tote

15 Mar

How adorable is this shopper made by ZuckerFrosch? She purchased some of our vintage fabric from the shop and used one fabric pattern for the outside, and another for the interior.  What a super awesome way to update and add new life to some vintage classics. Thanks ZuckerFrosch!

You can view more of her products for sale here, and browse all of our currently available vintage fabrics.

Valentine’s Day Cross Stitch

Valentine's Day Cross Stitch

I whipped up this little cross stitch as a gift tag for a bridal shower, but realized it is a perfect and quick project for Valentine’s Day. Kind of like carving your initials into a tree, but without the need to wield a knife. Stitchpoint has some nice alphabets featured in their cross stitch writing tool, and you can also find a lot of alphabet patterns by doing a search on Google Images. I’ve included a link to the heart pattern as a PDF below; just print it out and fill in the squares with your letter pattern.

Download the heart cross stitch pattern.

This project was finished in the embroidery hoop is was stitched in, using this excellent tutorial from Maximum Rabbit.

Rubyellen from Cakies was sweet enough to send us a link to the Chalkboard Nesting Doll tutorial she posted up on her site featuring our nesting doll blanks.

Too too cute for words, and crazy clever! You can snag your own dolls and start painting here.

Thanks, Rubyellen!
