More hats for fun times!

The creative bug has struck again!

Handmade party hats have arrived - and soon may be available at another location in Kansas City. I'm also entertaining offering custom hats.

Check back for more information.

How've ya been?!

Correspondence is becoming a lost art. It's so easy to catch up with someone via email or facebook. I love coming across old correspondence at the antique mall - a simple hello or I miss you and this is what's been going on with me type of thing.

So, to encourage and promote good ol' handwritten correspondence I'm working on a series of cards. Check them out!

To catalog, organize, muse, etc.

I just finished a batch of simple journals. They have a chipboard cover that you can embellish or leave as is and blank pages for doodles, lists, or musings.

The journals also come with an elastic band closure - which helps hold all the bits and pieces you want to tuck between pages.

PARTY PARTY PARTY!

I finally kicked the lazy itch (or maybe it was the 1st and 2nd trimester of my pregnancy) and produced some fun new doodads... PARTY HATS!

These hats are great for the guest/s of honor of any age or just wear it around the house to brighten your day.

Each colorful hat is adorned with ribbons and coordinating fun fluff.

If you are interested in one of your own, you can find them at BonBon Atelier in Westport and possibly soon at Lauren Alexander!

Needle and Thread

Valentine's Day is slowly approaching and I have a new fancy... embroidery! Who loves Missouri? I do!!! And I expressed my love with my needle and thread.

Missouri, how do I love thee? Let me count the stitches!

Cabin Fever = Crafting Fever

I have truly enjoyed my latest bout of crafting fever! I'm stil working on my woodcuts, but these flights of fancy have been fueling my creative fire. The pillows are handmade and feature embroidery based off of my drawings. The smaller pillow features a Song Sparrow and the larger pillow features a Wild Canary.

The pillows are for sale at a wonderful boutique here in Kansas City called BonBon Atelier. They sell lots of wonderful pieces from different artists AND have a covetable sampling of fabric. Check them out in Westport and buy some ART!

I am also working on some super fun objects for your Valentine's sweetie... little "Tokens of Love". They are small sculptures inspired by Sailor Valentines of old. They are a tad bit time consuming to make but are truly addictive and definitely made with love.

Enjoy the snow, cold, and cabin fever! - Love, Courtney
