Pretty Button Brooches

I have been totally inspired by the button colorway I got recently. I was also inspired to make some pretty accessories when I was in Chicago!!

Here they are. See them in my shop today!!

For the Love of Seersucker

Conductor Booties in Seersucker











I have been thinking Eco-Conscious as always. I am so inspired by the Neighborhood Co-Op and its shoppers. I love the organic feel of the place too. I am so happy to be a part of it all too!

Also, my boy got this new Cannon lense, and it takes crispity clear images. It is slightly wide, too. WOW!!

Finally Fabric

I just listed a fun pair of Brown Corduroy Baby Booties that are ORGANICALLY LINED and have Traction Solez. Also, I made these really nice Gazoontite Sniffle Cases, which are flannel and cotton cases that come with a tissue pack. These are also good for holding small items like a cell phone or a pill pack. Check them out at the shop. I love how they turned out and am glad I got to use some of my beautiful flannel prints. The flannel can make its way into summer this way...

Pink and Mint FLoral Garden Baby Booties and Stuffed Organic Play Cube

These fabrics I found at an amazing Quilt Shop called Peace and Applique in Rochester, IL. I had not been in there for many years, and since then they expanded into the building behind the original store. They have tons of designer fabrics, which are quite hard to find in this area. The back room features Urban Chick Vintage Repro fabrics in many prints that remind me of BABY!!
The store is worth the drive! It is about 20 minutes from Springfield too, not bad!

A Green way to Create and Sew

I found this photo here on treehugger.com.
This amazing cork fabric is very cool. I saw that MiaJoie on etsy is now making Cork Baby Shoes, a wonderful way to be eco-friendly too. Now, this cork fabric is pretty thin compared to other cork available at the hardware store like this HERE. The stuff at Lowes is maybe 1/8" thick, and is about $10 per roll. It is a good sized roll too. But the designated Cork Fabric/ FabriCork is nearly $130 per linear yard!! Wow, that is quite an investment, but maybe worth it. I love how people are thinking Green these days! Especially crafters!

Vulture Festival in Makanda, IL 2008

The third weekend of October, there is a cute art and music festival in Makanda, IL. It is just south of Carbondale, and some of my goodies are on display at the Smelly Hippie. So, to see some beautiful items, please stop through Makanda (also by Giant City). It is a nice event :)
Hope to see you there!
