Crazy Hair Day 2012

The only day that it's OK for your hair to look like a bird's nest :)

 

Squirrel Nut Papers

Just posted in my Etsy shop.  I'm so excited about my newest paper collection!  I wanted a little polka dot but something a little more fun and so I came up with a tiny acorn.  You can't have acorns without squirrels and there's always room for paisley.  I'm not so sure about the orange though.  What do you think?  I'm thinking about a second collection with a different color.  Blue maybe.  I am running a contest on my FB page  in which you may be able to download one of these papers for free! 

Paisley of the Week! Top This!

Cupcakes are not just for bringing into your kid's class on birthdays anymore.  There are whole shops dedicated to just cupcake making; one just opened up around the corner from where I work.  This philosophy makes much sense.  Why have just one cake and cut it all up when all of your guests can each enjoy their OWN personal confections?  Still, they need to choose between the having and eating.  Making this a choice little easier are adorable cupcake toppers like these which I found in an Etsy Shop called Paisley Tree Creations.  You can savor your treat and save the prettiest part forever! 

Paisley of the Week! Slumber Party Style

I.  Love.  This.

When I went to slumber parties, hundreds of years ago, just about everybody's sleeping bag was navy blue or dark green.   Once in a while you'd see some lucky girl whose bag was red. Everybody's bag was lined with ugly polyester wannabe plaid flannel.  Thems was your choices.  Then, when my kids were old enough to have sleeping bags of their own there were cooler choices like Scooby Doo or Dora the Explorer to be had and they're fun but ...  This adorable chocolate and paisley sleeping bag, with matching pillow case, from PB Teen is just excellent.  Carrie, whoever she is, is going to be the envy of everybody else at the slumber party.  I hope they don't put her bra in the freezer out of jealousy.

Paisley of the Week! Palatable Platter

I recently stumbled upon French Bull which sells uber-fun melamine plates among other housewares and accessories.  Their designs are so scrumptious to the eyes.  Not only do I want to buy half of their stock, but I'm going to see about :ahem: licensing too.  Really, take a sec and look there, it's a fun colorful place and you'll be glad you did!

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

Little Boy fabric is more fun to create than you might think!  The names of these 4 designs are:  Snips -n- Snails, Scissle, Swirled and Wags.  I'll let you guess which ones are which ;)
