kutz

i'm sure you've seen all sorts of adorable things you can do with felt.

i know i have seen hundreds of ideas all over the internet.

{but then again, i am slightly obsessed with felt!}

 

i've recently tried making little baby headbands and bows out of felt

but it is a little difficult to work with felt when dealing with such tiny pieces!

so i am in love with the shop kutz.

 

pre-cut felt flowers to satisfy all your crafting needs!

it's genius really.

 

 just take a look at some of the things cyn has to offer:

winter peach

**update: giveaway has been extended until saturday, april 23rd, at midnight mst**

i'm sure it's no secret that i have a thing for baby products.

especially shoes.

i don't exactly know when this obsession began,

but our little chicka will be sporting lots of fashionable kicks...and i can't wait.

unfortunately, buying multiple pairs of baby shoes in the stores

can get a teeny tiny bit pricey...or a LOT pricey.

so when i found arlene's shop, winter peach,

i couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

her shoe patterns are absolutely adorable

{i mean, just look at that open toe shoe!!}

and the directions are so simple + easy to follow.

plus, the prices are extremely reasonable!

she sent me two of her patterns

and i couldn't wait to whip out my fabrics and my sewing machine.

arlene is such a sweet lady,

and has so kindly offered to giveaway a pattern of your choice!!

you can enter up to THREE times!

{please leave a separate comment for each entry}

1. visit winter peach then come back and 

comment on which pattern you would choose if you won!

2. become a follower of the trading post!

3. facebook/blog about winter peach's giveaway. 

giveaway ends saturday {4/23} at midnight mst.

winner will be announced monday, april 25th.

good luck!

p.s. don't forget, you can still trade with erin of plush studio

and danyelle of dandee designs!! 

dandee designs

have you heard of dandee??

her blog makes my "top ten most amazing blogs" list

and she is one of the sweetest, prettiest, craftiest ladies. ever.

plus, she is wonder woman with 

her five adorable little kiddo's.

so, to say that i am incredibly excited about today's trade

would be an understatement.

danyelle is trading her miniature memory game

{retail $10.00}

with you lovely trading post readers!!

how awesome is that?!?


this mini memory game can be tucked safely away in your purse 
and quickly pulled out when quick entertainment is needed!
{think: doctor's appointments, airplane/car rides, etc...}
