Crafting a LOVE-ly cushion for J + T

I made this pillow for J and T to celebrate their engagement. I found 2 pieces of wood grain fabric in my stash and stitched a little heart with their initials on one panel. In hindsight, I wish I had added an arrow, but it's still cute! I sewed the 2 pieces of fabric together, stuffed it, and closed the hole with a few hand stitches. Done!
I brought it to their engagement party the other night in stead of a card and I think they liked it a lot. It looks pretty sweet with the logs that J. and T. also have from iheartnorwegianwood.

Delightful towels

I am working way late, as usual. I learned last week at the Mode Show, that several other designers tend to work late into the night like I do, so now I don't feel so odd! I just randomly went to check out the Orla Kiely website and found these cheery towels. I am always on the lookout for patterned towels. Reminds me of being wrapped in the 70's versions of childhood. Anyhow, I think it'd be nice to mix and match these colours in the different sizes. They are on sale! I just tried to order some, but it kept saying that my basket was empty. I'll have to try again in the morning.

To my Sis: the sale is on until Feb 14th -- check out the other items!

What else can I tape?

Yes, I realize that I might be mildly obsessed with these masking tapes, but I have found some other lovely tape dispensers at Tinted Mint along with a nice selection of tape, of course. They carry eco-friendly products for crafts and DIY. Lots of nice things!

Valentine's Day gift ideas

I can't believe it is already February 3rd! What happened to January? Despite the fact that time is getting fairly tight for ordering Valentine's day gifts online, I have put together a group of items that I fancy. Some are more Valentine suitable than others, but all are great gems! First off are a few MoonRox items:

I've admired a few of these scarf quilts by this designer over the years. They are so fun and vibrant and must feel fantastic to curl up in.

Mmm. Looks like the perfect combination of salty and sweet! I am salivating just looking at this picture. haveitconfections is the featured seller on Etsy right now. There are so many delicious looking treats to shop from.

Hope everyone is more on it with the Valentine's Day goodies than I am. I'm late on compiling this due to too much time spent on Mode Show this and that. Now that all the orders are in, I can concentrate on producing the items and getting packages filled with MoonRox sent out to all the great stores! That's it for tonight's long post! A bientôt!
