Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! How has everyone’s week been? It’s been pretty nice here weather-wise, so definitely no complaints…a great way to start off the Fall season. As well, it’s National Pancake Day so we’re thinking pancakes for dinner tonight? Why not haha! We love us a good ol’ stack of blueberry (or chocolate chip…or pumpkin spice…or plain for that matter, we won’t say no) pancakes! Oh yum!! :)

It’s time to end another great week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful little business that has recently made its way online to Etsy. And, as always, this shop features lots of stunning items in delicious and beautiful fabric selections. Lynn, of Lynn Patricia Designs, absolutely adores to sew and finds joy in her sewing studio, playing with all her colorful fabrics and making her sewing machine hum. Because of her passion, she decided to start Lynn Patricia Designs to start selling her designs. She loves bright and colorful patterns, and chooses them to make fun handbags, key fobs, wallets, and other accessories. As well, Lynn can be found at Arts & Crafts Fairs in the Ohio area selling all her lovely designs…

Lynn created these awesome insulated water bottle totes that are great for on-the-go, road trips, and diaper bags! We really love the idea of this water bottle tote, and such a brilliant idea that it is insulated (great for hot and cold drinks). Lynn used our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection for her insulated water bottle totes, and they look fantastic! Our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection makes this water bottle tote bright, fun, and adorable.

Thank you for the fabric love!! We absolutely love your Frolicking Forest insulated water bottle tote. You can check out more from Lynn Patricia Designs, and see where she will be next, at her Etsy Shop. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday everyone!! Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!! We wish you a fantastic and safe celebratory weekend!! If you haven’t seen it yet, we posted some awesome DIY Fourth of July gift and party ideas on our blog last week…here’s the link to check it out!

It’s also time to end another super week with our Fan Friday! Today we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop and blog: Charley, Dee, & Me! Charley, Dee, & Me is a blog run by Rebecca, and dedicated to all things fabric-related. Rebecca loves to sew and quilt, especially with the women in her family, and enjoys blogging about all of her project-making adventures. As well, Rebecca shares tutorials with her readers – table runners, a fun toaster cover, and more! :)

In correlation with her blog, Rebecca also has an Etsy Shop where she sells her beautifully handmade burp cloths, blankets, and quilts for little ones. A lot of the chain store products for babies are generic and, for lack of a better word, boring…but Rebecca brings a contemporary flair to baby stuff! Rebecca has impeccable taste in fabric designs, so all of her products are eye-catching and modern, perfect for all the little ones who want to be comforted but also stay in style! We absolutely adore these burp cloths that Rebecca made with our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Collection. This set is absolutely adorable, and the packaging is perfection as well. It would make for such a lovely baby shower gift!

We are so happy that you love our Frolicking Forest fabric, Rebecca! We really love the esthetic of your blog and shop, and are honored to be a part of it. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a great day. It’s the last day of February, and we are wondering where the time has gone. February seriously flew by! We’re very excited for the start of March, and for all the amazing things to come…and also for Spring! We are in need of some warmer weather.

Today is also Fan Friday on the blog, and we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop today with the absolute cutest name! A Tiny Forest is a lovely business, started by Kim Payne, creating stunning and high-quality handcrafted products that are also very practical for everyday use. What started as a passion to sew, quickly sparked into a very successful little business! ” I love to make items that are useful and practical, but also lovely and unique.  My little shop, A Tiny Forest, was born of that desire.  It’s just me and a sewing machine, and I do everything from the design phase all the way to shipping.  I also have the responsibility of caring for my family, so it’s a delicate balance.”

According to Kim, mason jars are all the rage…and we definitely agree! Mason jar ideas are always being pinned on Pinterest, and for good reason – there are so many different things you can do with them. And Pinterest makes us want to do them all! One awesome idea from Kim is to use them to pack leftovers for lunch. That’s what she was doing for her husband, packing his work lunch in mason jars, but because they are glass it wasn’t the easiest to transport. That’s when Kim’s mason jar bags were born!

The mason jar bags feature pocket sleeves inside to segment and hold the jars, and even fold out if you want to carry something else! The bags come in several sizes to carry quart-sized, pint-sized, & half pint-sized jars and sturdy handles to carry all your goods. As well, Kim has an eye for pretty designs and chooses a great selection of fabric collections for her products that are playful and fresh. We especially adore that Kim chooses a matching, equally fun, print for the interior! Kim chose our Iconic collection and we think this bag is absolutely beautiful!! We definitely would love to take this bag to work or to the local market with us – so pretty and stylish!!
