Polar bears riding bicycles? That's right.

Polar Bear Beach

I've decided to turn over my most favorite fabric to you guys.

You may remember these pot holders that I made a while back. I love them so much! But I don't think it would be a good thing to cover my whole apartment in polar bears and bunnies just yet, so I've made some new coffee sleeves to sell... just in time for summer. 

Along with these beachy bunnies and bears, I also had a cute little park scene starring the same bicycle riding bears.

I hope to have these and many more new styles up in the shop sometime soon. For now, enjoy this little sneak peek of the cuteness!

Cozy Crazy

Hi. It's been a while now, but I make a promise to you, right here and now, that I will be posting much more often. Just thought you should know.

I have been super busy making tons of cozies/coffee sleeves these last two weekends. Christmas time is close at hand and I have got to get a head start this year. I've got to stockpile. Last year, I had so many friends and co-workers order them in the last couple weeks leading up to christmas that I was surviving on six hours of sleep a night. That's torture to me. I love sleep too much! 

So, friends, take a look at my Etsy shop if you get a chance. They make awesome stocking stuffers, thoughtful eco-friendly gifts, and are great for small tokens of appreciation to teachers, neighbors and co-workers.

Meanwhile, I'll be right here in the sewing room.

But at least I have some company...

Fall Look

label making

Fall seems closer than it should be. Last weekend I realized that I needed to get down to business. I need to make lots and lots of coffee sleeves and scarves for fall, but also so that I can stock pile some for winter when people are looking for stocking stuffers.

That got me thinking about how I actually sold my own scarf to someone last winter, so I'll need to make a new one for myself. The scarves I sold were made out of fabric from used men's suits and paired with silk kimono pieces. 

Professor Cozy? Is that you, old chap?

Professor Cozy was born out of the same suit pieces and some old button down work shirts.

As I started to work on some more coffee sleeves I decided to combine the suit pieces with some of my pretty new fabrics. I think the combination is great!

the future

I think I might steer the Doe and the Mouse in this direction for fall. I really like the way it's going.
