Hi There Hammy

Makeitawesome‘s idea to make a pregnant rabbit doll is pure, sweet, wonderful genius! I loved the doll on it’s own and my face broke into a huge grin when I realized that there was a tiny peanut baby rabbit inside that you can pop out. Oh, it’s a great day…

As I watched this interview with Billykirk on etsy today I could actually smell the leather they were working with and imagine what it would be like to watch them work together in their shop all day. The moments between dialogue where the camera focuses on the fellows working says volumes, a feeling their website couldn’t begin to convey. It’s worth watching for the general beauty of the camera work, the process behind their products and for the wonderful interactions between the two men.

I am living in a community that values mason jars above most other things. You can drink, store food, ferment, preserve, decorate and do any number of wonderful/amazing things in/to/from/with mason jars. So, understandably, I got a little giddy when I saw this wonderful ceramic mason jar over at Pigeon Toe Ceramics this morning. I love the soft pinkish glow and the rather dashing size of the whole thing…

Mimi and Lola are some special additions to the shop from now ’til Easter. Enjoy!

I was cruising through etsy when I found this amazing needle-felted guinea pig by Miss Bumbles. She has rabbits, an elephant and a kitty as well! I can’t imagine anything more adorable than a needle felted guinea pig complete with dress and hat. Can you!?

The newest and coolest Ziggy Fingerless knitting pattern is now hanging about in the etsy shop! Check it out…

I have a wee pair of customly silky bunnies up in the shop now, you should wander over and check them out!

I’ve been putting more and more photos up on Flickr recently and finding some great design ideas at the same time. This morning I was cruising through the people who have favorited one or more of my embroidery photos when I discovered this little beauty tucked away in Chickenfoot’s “favorites”! Oh this makes me so happy!

Marilynkb bought one of my Manimals patterns and here I am, actually getting to see how it turned out! I never imagined how thrilling it would be to stumble on someone else’s interpretation of a pattern I’ve made. I think they turned out so well. Oh it’s a good day!

I was perusing For Print Only when I found this amazing, beautiful book that Allison Weiner is selling over at etsy! She even still has 2 in stock!! This is yet another example of something from etsy worth treasuring for a life time. And it’s handmade to boot! I can’t believe my eyes, it’s that good…
