We’ve recently introduced our Ad-Fab™ (fabric with an adhesive backing, which you can read all about here!), as well as our new felt collection and chalkboard fabric! Yes, that’s right! We have chalkboard fabric – pliable fabric that you can use for all your chalkboard needs. It’s the easy way to add a chalkboard wall or bulletin to your kitchen, amongst many other awesome projects.

Today we are giving one lucky person the chance to win 1 yard of our chalkboard fabric! Think of all the endless possibilities in projects you can create with it. We know you’ve already come up with a couple ;) And that’s perfect, because for this giveaway we want to know what you would create with our chalkboard fabric! It’s time to get creative!! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and a great Valentine’s day spent with all your loved ones. The possibilities are endless, so here’s to a wonderful new week! :)

Today is also Moody Monday on the blog! We are sharing with you another fantastic collection of ours, Playground by Vita Mechachonis from our Winter 2014 collections. We hope we can inspire you today!

Playground by Vita Mechachonis is a very fun and exciting collection with a children’s twist on what playtime truly is…all about having a blast with your friends at the park and learning new things! Playground includes all the things that make playtime the best time – swings, slides, balloons, lively animals, and more in a mix of blue, orange, and red tones. This collection will bring great nostalgia to your childhood days, and is the perfect accessory for all your little one’s dress wear! Playground reminds us all that we are never too old to have fun! :)

The great month of fashion week is upon us, and we have definitely been inspired by the looks we have seen! One in particular inspires us with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection. In London, Roksanda Illincic’s Fall 2014 RTW collection was an exuberant burst of blues and oranges, very reminiscent of Playground. Not only were the colors inspirational, but each outfit and piece exuded a playful and unique style that made us swoon. We especially adored the mix of colors within the outfits: cornflower blue and taupe, navy and brown, & orange and black – SUCH a fantastic collection! You can check out the full collection here for details.

Be sure to check out our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection here for more. We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday! Have a fantastic 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!

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is had a great week. TGIF!! Today is National Wear Red Day, a day started by the AHA to bring awareness on the battle against heart disease in women. Such an amazing cause! And speaking of red, have you entered our Betty Boop FQ Bundle giveaway yet? Let us know what outfit makes you feel the most confident! ♥

To mark the end of another wonderful week, we have our Fan Friday post for you! One of our most favorite things ever is seeing projects created with our fabric designs and projects using our free projects found on our website & blog. You all are awesome!!

Today we are sharing Strange Stork, a duo team of creative girls sharing their love for fabric with the world…one bag or bib at a time. Strange Stork is an online shop dedicated to geekery and punk baby gifts, created by Cynn and Vanessa. Their handmade items include baby bibs, burp cloths, pouches, bags, and more using colorful and fun fabric choices. While their shop is dedicated to the little ones, they have organizational products for mommies too!

Vanessa and Cynn especially adore our Star Wars fabric, using a couple of our most coveted designs for their products. However, the girls also have a soft spot for all things adorable (who wouldn’t?!)…such as our Baby Dino Collection! This collection is perfect for all dinosaur enthusiasts…and just in time for Valentine’s Day too with the complimentary heart designs. The collection is bright and happy, colorfully designed with sweet dinosaur friends! Here are some of our favorites:

Vanessa also has her own correlating Etsy Shop, Mean Look, showcasing items dedicated to adults (skirts, bags, magnets, and more!). Both Strange Stork and Mean Look are great stores to check out for all your “geekery” needs, for both you and baby. We wanted to thank the girls for their support, and for sharing with us their fantastic shops!

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!
