Heros

I thought it would be fun to talk about your crafty heros sometimes.  I have a lot and all for different reasons.  I would have to say one of my longest crafty crushes is on Heidi Kenney.  Heidi always makes the cutest stuff, she seems constantly busy but in this nice relaxed way.  You never hear her complain and everything she seems to touch becomes this magical cute fest.  From food, to her plush, to her fabric.  Oh man.  Looking at her blog is really inspiring to me and her flickr...if not makes me feel slightly lazy.  BUT always a nice fire under my ass too!  I have heard rumors about a book coming out sometime this year too which I can't wait to get my hands on.  Anyways, she is also one of the sweetest ladies I have met and I always look forward to another meet.  Here are some of my recent favorites!

Schmancy Exclusive- Heidi Kenney

Ever wanted to know what broccoli would look like in plush form? Well you no longer need to wonder because Heidi Kenney has made them just for Schmancy. Heidi makes the most adorable things, including food. I hope I am reincarnated into her next lifetime. I think this will be released Wednesday but I don't know for sure yet so just consider this a warning. There will be adorable broccoli to buy very soon!

SF here we come!

From Deth P Sun

I used to live in SF and sometimes I still wonder if I should just move back there. I LOVE that city. I love Seattle too and can enjoy life on a smaller budget here which is one reason why I stay. But I always love visiting SF and I am so happy I have a cool family I can stay with and hang out with as well. Anyways, please come by and see us at You Bazaar! this Sunday. If you are interested in taking any workshops by the super talented, Heidi Kenney, Moxie and/or Missy Ballance look here for all details.

You Bazaar!

If you are in the Bay Area or in SF, You Bazaar is coming soon. The workshops are now up on the site so check them out and get ready! Read all about them here

Flickr Finds

Here are a few things I love today.

Heidi Kenney always amazes me...I swear she doesn't sleep.



I am so excited to see this guy in person!



This is perfect for back to school!



I just can't get enough of cute hedgehogs. This one is purdy.



Timmie is one of my all time favorites and him in this little hat is too cute to handle.

Heidi Kenney

The crazy talented Heidi Kenney is showing next month at Schmancy! I could not be more excited. I know I say that a lot about the shows at Schmancy. They are all so good. I know a lot of folks that are really excited for this show too. We got all the crafty folks and all the vinyl toy folks so it should be a really fun show! So mark you calendars for, August 8th. Meet Heidi in the flesh!

Life is

nuts lately.

If you are interested in the PY show in SF, stay tuned next week for a very important post. Finally working out some details and there are some very exciting things brewing that I would not want you to miss out on!

Sometimes I wish there was either 3 more of me or a lot more time in the day!

Plushform

Tonight the Plushform Custom Exhibit and Launch Party opens up in Chicago at Rotofugi. We Love Shawnimals so we are really excited about this DIY toy just released. I noticed there are a bunch of Plush You friends involved in this show. Here is a sneak peak of some of my favorites.
