Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Let’s start off this week on a positive note! And in keeping with that theme, the weather seems to be cooperating with us today. We are supposed to be getting up to 23°C in temperature – definitely no complaining here! :)

Let’s start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with a pretty and springtime appropriate collection, our Theodore & Izzy Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio. Theodore & Izzy is a very girly and feminine collection, decorated with lovely pastel florals, bees, and honey bears. This collection is sweet and gentle, perfect for a newborn’s nursery – imagine a matching crib comforter, bed skirt, rail protector, and curtains with Theodore & Izzy in a honey themed room! Complete the room with a couple of bear plush friends, a friendly bee mobile, & a cozy baby quilt and it will be the sweetest room for any little honey bear to grow up in :) This collection reminds us of all the things we are especially looking forward to in Spring such as walks to the park, weekend picnics, and tea parties!

And keeping in theme with all things pretty and sweet (in every best way!), celebrations are coming up too! That means fun Easter crafts, exciting Easter egg hunts, and of course all the delicious food to celebrate Passover and Easter! What better place to get all your inspiration from than at the Martha Stewart website – the epitome of all things yummy, creative, and pretty! It is the one-stop place for every sort of crafting or party-planning idea, from baby showers to holidays to girl’s night in!

Recently, Martha Stewart posted some Passover recipes, and for dessert no less (our favorite!). We cannot wait to try the chocolate cake with espresso glaze and matzo s’mores – um, yum!! She has also got you covered with her Passover entertaining tips. For Easter, she has shared some egg-cellent ideas on everything egg-related, from decorating hard-boiled eggs to egg recipes. Be sure to check that out too here! We are very much inspired, and egg-cited to start our own holiday party. Thanks, Martha! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired. You can check out our Theodore & Izzy by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection here. Have  an egg-static (haha last egg pun for today, promise!) rest of the day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you have all had a fantastic and relaxing weekend. In the midst of this cold weather, we are trying to think positive that warmer weather is near. Have you entered our Beyond the Backyard FQB Giveaway? The giveaway ends this Wednesday so enter here if you haven’t yet! :)

With Spring officially here, it will only be a matter of time until pretty flowers and little creatures will start to immerge from hibernation. We are super excited for all the lovely colors to come that will add liveliness to our current dreary state. With that, we are inspiring you with a very girly and captivating collection today…our Petite Plume Collection by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe. Bursting with fruitful colors of chartreuse, coral, and turquoise, Petite Plume reminds us of a perfect Spring day on a tropical vacation.

Imagine fresh citrus fruits, luscious greenery, and glistening clear waters…we definitely would love a vacation of the sorts. Petite Plume’s designs encompasses that mood with its floral prints, feathers, and peacocks! This collection would be perfect for a couple of summer dresses or tote bag to bring on your next beach vacation, or to dress up a darling kid’s room complete with peacock feathers and floral wall decals. You can check out the full collection here!

One fashion collection that reminds us of the opulent colors and prints of Petite Plume is the Marchesa Spring 2013 RTW Collection. This collection has a very rich and exotic feel to it, with the touches of sparkle and gold with the warm tone of turquoise, chartreuse, ruby, and violet. This whole collection is very majestic and elegant, and gives off the same feel as Petite Plume especially in color palette. Some of our favorites includes this stunning turquoise dress as well as this one and this one. There are just too many stunning outfits though, so you can see the full collection here!

We hope that we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday! Be sure to enter our Facebook Giveaway to win a Beyond the Backyard FQB :) Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you are all having a beautiful start to the week. We are heading into the week of love…Valentine’s Day is already this coming Friday! Get ready for LOTS of Valentine’s Day inspired posts coming your way this week. As well, we are hosting our Betty Boop FQ bundle Giveaway on our blog which ends this Wednesday. ♥

To start off this week, it’s time for a little Moody Monday inspiration! Today we are sharing our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio Collection. Let’s Go is a woodsy and warm collection, decorated in fall-inspired hues of orange, turquoise, rust, and grey.

This collection features a mix of pretty feathers, mountains, foxes, teepees, and raccoons…all the things to remind you of the wonders of the outside. This collection is rustic and cozy, making you want to go outside and explore the great outdoors! Imagine how adorable your little one would be sporting a frilly dress or bowtie in our Let’s Go collection? Add a couple of cozy blankets, a warm bonfire, and S’mores…and you’ve got yourself the ultimate camping trip!

Fall is still a whiles away (we are still in Winter, dreaming of Spring hehe), but our Let’s Go collection reminds us of those brisk and cozy days. One upcoming autumn collection we’re inspired by is Missoni’s RTW Fall Collection. This collection is a wonderful display of hues of grey, orange, and green. The colors are still vibrant, but keep in the theme of fall time appropriate with added volume, cashmere, and kimono-style jackets. Layering is key during the cooler months, and all of the pieces shown in Missoni’s collection are perfect for that. The colors and mood of this collection remind us of our Let’s Go by Andrea Turk for Cinnamon Joe Studio collection. You can see the full Missoni collection here!

We hope you have been inspired by today’s Moody Monday! We are looking forward to a love-filled week. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!
