14 Days of Love: Day 4


Day 4: Crocheted Sweetheart Garland - This is such and adorable garland and when I came across it I knew I had to share it with you. It happens to be perfect for one of the 14 Days of Love, and a great way to use up some of those yarn scraps. There is a complete tutorial on how to make this Crocheted Sweetheart Garland on Cassi Griffin's blog, Bella Dia. She has so many great ideas you should check it out.

New Items at CHA

Today was our final day at the CHA show. We definitely could have used one (or two) more days. It was unbelievable how many vendors there were!

Some of the most exciting things that we saw there (and purchased for you) include:

- Beads, Beads and more Beads (and yet again still more beads) - just don't tell our boss!
- Beadalon came out with a ton of new items ( New tools, Crinkle wire, Velour cording, Wire twister ) Just to name a few.

- Blue Moon came out with a ton, I repeat, a TON of new lines (not all are available at the moment- but as soon as they are, believe me we will be ordering them!) We did however pick up their new Natural Elegance Line (which includes tons of cool chains, findings and charms!)

- Walnut Hollow: They have a new line of unfinished wood boxes made our of bamboo. (which we bought - for all the people who have trouble finding a surface to paint on.)

-One company we saw that we are excited about is Alter Ego. They have "everything from soup to nuts" : Trays, boxes, fruit bowls, office organizers... all made of a MDF board.

- Make sure to look for new Craft Books in all the departments from Design Originals

We are still reeling from the show and will post more later- once we've gotten over the shock of all the new stuff we've seen.

IN STITCHES by Amy Butler


So I have a confession to make. I, like many others, LOVE Amy Butler. I can safely say everything that she has come out with has wowed me from her fabrics to scrapbooking supplies and now her book. Believe it or not I am not a big scrapbooker or quilter but being a designer I love the colors and patterns she uses. I could go as far as to say its brilliant. If you are like me, I don't really know what to do with the fabric once I buy it. This book has 175 pages of project ideas and patterns ranging from laundry totes to aprons. It has projects for every major room of the house starting with the living room and working its way through bedroom projects, kitchen projects, bathroom projects and office projects. Come visit us and check it out!
