I have to confess that for the first since I started my Twelve Months of Sewing Club back in May 2006 I’ve been remiss in not updating the club for the months of February, March, and April 2010. Sometimes life gets in the way of ones internet and blogging fun and when push comes to shove – well, life wins out. So, please forgive me.

I Love, love, love creating completely new and weird little critters and thinking of where they have been or are going to, or how they like to spend their day but with these guys I just can’t even begin to imagine They are currently hanging out at my house as part of a space mobile I made for the rather fabulous Katie ( who has some of the best stabby requests ever) who just found out that she is expecting a lil’ one and is going with a space theme for the nursery………..How brilliant is that? certainly very unique and original. I just hope she likes it They sure are cute, like everything I make for Katie I’ll be sad to see them go………… Last weekends Craftacular was brilliantly fun thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hi, Madison sure is a supportive community.

We’ve mentioned before how excited we get about good-quality art supplies. But when they’re eco-friendly, come in gorgeous packaging and it just so happens to also be Earth Day—well, it just seems right. Eco Kids was founded by a former nanny, who saw the need for more natural and safe art supplies when she came to have her own children.
