Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. Have you seen our last Winsday? We are currently giving away a Betty Boop FQ Bundle this week! Click here to enter by telling us what outfit makes you feel the most confident :)

Today is Thursday, which means it’s time for another Thankful Thursday post on the blog. We experienced our first Craft & Hobby Show this year, and it was absolutely fantastic. We had such a wonderful time! You can check out our CHA 2014 Show blog post for more on what we had been up to. We met so many lovely bloggers and crafters who gave us such positive feedback on our newest products, such as our felt and Ad-Fab™! Some crafters even took some back to their stations to test them on silhouette and die-cutting machines, with great reviews back.

We wanted to thank everyone who took the time to test out our products at the show, as well as those who mentioned us on their blogs! It was so great getting to meet everyone, so thank you for the kind words. ♥

Craft Test Dummies noticed that “sticky” products seemed to be a continuous theme at the show, and loved our adhesive felt and Ad-Fab™.

Dinah, from DIY Inspired, enjoyed our Make & Take and Chalkboard Photobooth stations and looked super adorable with our felt glasses!

Our Make & Take section let visitors create their very own coffee cozies with our Ad-Fab™. With our Ad-Fab™, making a coffee cozie is such a quick and simple project that can jazz up any coffee cup instantly! Love the one you made, Tori!

Angie, from The Country Chic Cottage , was super impressed with our new felt line and mentioned on her blog that our felt “is definitely the prettiest felt I have ever seen…ever.  I love” – We definitely concur!! :) Look how pretty our felt is all stacked up together!

Crafty Deaf Dog Mama wrote up a blog post focusing on silhouette products at the CHA. She was one of the crafters who tested our products for us, and gave her feedback on the blog post. She mentions that our hard and soft felts work perfectly with her silhouette, and cut some pretty hearts from it. So happy she enjoyed our products! You can read the full blog post for more here.

As well, we wanted to thank Fave Crafts Blog for the sweet Chalkboard Booth mention in their CHA recap post, and No Idle Hands Here for listing us in her “up and comers to the crafting industry” – So happy you stopped by and enjoyed our products!

Thank you so much to the wonderful ladies for mentioning us, our felt and Ad-Fab™ products, our Make & Take and Chalkboard Booth, and for the great feedback – We truly appreciate it! As well, if you have mentioned us on your blog, we’d love to hear from you! Have a fantastic rest of the day everyone :)

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having an excellent day. We’ve been hearing that an ice storm is heading East, crossing our fingers that we are not affected, but to those who are – stay safe and stay warm!! :)

Love is in the air!! Valentine’s Day is officially in 10 days, and we are super inspired here in the office…hearts all around! Today we’ve got a How To’s Day for you that is perfect in time for the day of love ♥

Imagine you and your one true love singing along to “She Will Be Loved” in the car, swimming together in an aquarium fish tank, and finishing the blissful day by carving your initials into a big, oak tree together…how indescribably romantic would that be? And while we all can’t be living through a Nicholas Sparks book, we definitely know of some stories that come pretty close. We’ve also got a DIY tutorial that is almost just as romantic and everlasting as carving a real, oak tree. Today we are sharing with you our “Love Your Forever” Tree Trunk Plush Tutorial!

Our “Love You Forever” Tree Trunk Plush is the perfect gift for this upcoming Valentine’s Day, or for any day you want to show the one you love how much you love them. We used our Frolicking Forest Collection, mimicking that true wood feel that you can keep forever. Stitch the initials of you and your loved one, or anyone you love! We believe the simplest sentiments are always the most meaningful and special.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you are all having a wonderful day. Welcome sweet treats, love notes, and heart-shaped {everything}….here’s to a fabulous February!! ♥

To start off this new month, and to begin the week, we’ve got another Moody Monday for you. A new month calls for new beginnings and fresh starts, inspiring us for today’s blog post. Today we are inspiring you with our Mint Condition by Jackie McFee moodboard. Mint Condition is a lovely mix of cool tones, the color leads being mint and grey.

This collection is soft, crisp, and serene…the perfect compliment to a house by the beach or lake (or one with a complementary theme…because alas, not everyone has the luxury of living by the water). The contiguous theme of mint and grey in this collection follows pretty designs of hexagons, dots, chevrons, and posies. This collection would make a stunning Spring dress, couch covers, or evening clutch – and everything else in between! You can check out the full collection here.

In keeping with the air of softness and prettiness, we’re very much inspired by Christopher Kane’s Spring 2014 RTW Collection today. Kane’s recent collection was an aura of black, lavender, and mint green however it was the mint green outfits that particularly stood out to us. The whole collection was very lady-like and feminine with the midi-length skirts, lace details, floral prints, and muted hues.

Even so, the fun cut-outs and sheer panels called for a more modern flair to the collection that we adored! The minty-hued outfits were very reminiscent of the elegant and classic vibe from our Mint Condition collection, very fresh and perfect for the upcoming Spring season. You can check out the full collection here! We hope you enjoyed today’s blog post and have been inspired. Until next time!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic end to the week. Today is the last day of January, and we are now heading into the second month of 2014. It’s going to be the month of hearts, chocolate, and love! We are very excited!! We created a “Love Wall” in the Camelot Design Studio, with sweet notes of what we liked best about one another. It’s a great way to remind each other that they are thought of and everyone’s day becomes a little brighter too!

On to another way we like to spread some love,…it’s time for our weekly Fan Fridays! Today we are taking the time to share a super awesome Etsy shop, Bits O Honey Designs! Monica, the owner of Bits O Honey Designs, creates stunning business card holders, cheque book holders, discreet “time of the month” clutches, and other ‘bits o honey’ using colorful, bright, fun, and modern prints. All of her designs are crafted with love and created for easy-use and organization. Monica loves fun fabric designs, and chose a couple of our collections for her designs that we just had to share!

Monica used our Hot Chocolate by Jackie McFee collection to create this fantastic cheque book holder:

Our Birds of a Feather by Allison Cole collection was used to create this stunning business card holder:

We absolutely adore this idea! It’s a “time of the month” clutch – discreet and stylish. Monica used our Hot Chocolate by Jackie McFee collection:
