Spring Treasury

Check out this lovely spring themed treasury from B.E.S.T members! Too bad I heard it may snow tomorrow... :(

Spring Sprouts

Fresh from the garden! The Spring Sprouts are back! Enamel on copper medium size pendant. 3 different shades of green sprouts layered over white. Listed in the shop today. Warm days, sunshine and a green world are just weeks away!

Dandelions for the Sprout

I think The Sprout might need this, no? By Circular Accessories, one of my favorite etsy shops. I have 3 or 4 of her silk screened t's. I've always admired her baby line and bought items for gifts. Now it's The Sprouts turn!

Special Order

I was oh so pleased to get a very special order from a loyal Crafty Bastards shopper! Here is a sneak peek of a bridal party order I am completing this week. Custom orders are always fun, and I usually give a price break if you order multiples of one style. If you have any special requests you can email me through the blog, or drop me a convo through my etsy shop.

Pick of the Week!

I realize I haven't been consistent with my "Pick of the Week" sale items. I promise to try harder in the future. Here's this weeks pick, "Very Cherry." Enamel on copper, in the shop now!

Quilt for the Sprout!

I know it's not jewelry, but it is handmade by me! I just finished up the is quilt this weekend for the sprout.
I used some left over fabrics from some other projects, and the solid yellow squares are actually from my own baby blanket- hence the wear and transparency!
Definitely not as fantastic as the quilts I saw at the ACC this past weekend, but it's pretty good for my first try at quilting. The batting is bamboo, so it is a thinner quilt, but I liked that the bamboo is hypoallergenic and antibacterial- plus it "adjusts" to the body temperature. Bamboo is an awesome fiber, I am now on the lookout for more as designers and manufacturers are realizing how versatile and sustainable bamboo is.

This is the back, a nice snuggly fleece. Since we won't know the sprouts gender till he/she makes their arrival, I went with a more "gender neutral" pallet. Although, I am not a big believer in colors actually having a gender preference- but for some reason it really seems to matter to others. Why is pink a "girl color?" When you stop to think about it, it's kind of weird right? Hope everybody enjoys their snow day!
