Project Peanut Butter

Hi everyone!

It's Sarah's birthday over at Sarahcentric and her one true wish is for you to help her do some fundraising for Project Peanut Butter. Project Peanut Butter produces and distributes a therapeutic peanut butter called Plumpy’nut to severely malnourished children in Malawi and Sierra Leone.

Sarah set up a safe and secure Chipin account and all money will go directly to Project Peanut Butter. Please go here and help out her and this amazing charity. She's trying to raise $1125, enough to save three villages! And as a bonus for your kindness, you will be entered in a giveaway for some delicious Graham Cracker Coffee. 

For more info on Plumpy'nut and project Peanut Butter, please watch this informative video...

thanks, 

Kim

Delicious & Cute Giveaway

Do you like coffee? Of course you do.  And it's even better when it's free!

Head over to Sarahcentric, where you can enter to win some delicious and hard to find Graham Cracker coffee and one of my cute coffee sleeves  in honor of Sarahcentric's new blog design. She will be selecting two winners and giving you extra special ways to enter more than once. 

Believe me, I've had this Graham Cracker coffee and it's sooo very good. I beg Sarah to bring me some every time she goes upstate. Even my boyfriend, who hates flavored coffee, loves it.

So, please head over to Sarahcentric now to enter!!

Ah. Professor Cozy! So nice to meet you.

I made this new coffee sleeve last night. I call it "Professor Cozy." And every time I say the name in my head I use a British accent. Just seems to fit. "Professor Cozy. How's it going old chap?"

I used fabric from an old wool suit on the outside and cotton shirt on the inside. I had been getting requests for more masculine coffee sleeves and the only one I had that fit the bill was a robot print.

I also ordered a rubber stamp with my logo in order to make my own labels. I think it ended up being pretty cute. I'm going to get some ribbons or twill tape to stamp them on in the future, but old fabric scraps work for now. I had been using individual letter stamps with fabric paint to make the labels, but it was just too messy and inconsistent. I found out about fabric ink pads from the Bend the Rules Sewing flickr group discussion. It was very helpful.

What to use first? hmmm....

Two down. A million to go.

Somehow I actually got the scarf made for K. I think it's actually my favorite so far!

We'll see if she still wants it. I did take longer than expected to make due to moving. And now it's 56 degrees today. Hopefully she'll still want to buy it, but if not I can always put it up on Etsy or wear it myself.

I also managed to get two more coffee sleeves made.

Yippee!
