Happy Anniversary, Stitches

Stitches is a fantastic fabric shop in Seattle in Capital Hill. She is also a sponsor of our Plush You shows. We love this store! It has tons of great fabrics, including a wide variety of Japanese fabrics. It's hard to go in this store with one item in mind, I always end up leaving spending more than I planned. BUT, May 8th and 9th, you can go in there and feel a little less guilty. You first will be supporting a local and small business (which we all appreciate) and you'll be getting a 20% discount! And don't forget to say Happy Anniversary!

It's almost the weekend!

If you have some free time this weekend for some crafting, there is a great roundup of crafts you could make with vinyl records over at Thread Banger



Or come by Schmancy and pick up an adorable pattern to make your own Mochimochi Land toy!



I have craft shows on the brain and wish I had the extra time to create some kind of clever packaging. This would also require that I be a genius and I am not. For some inspiration visit here



Today is gorgeous and I am crossing my fingers that it continues. It makes me want to sit outside while sipping one of these



Get ahead with Christmas and start now. Make these cute little snow globe soaps.
