2011-04-07T18:24:00.000-07:00

I just have to share a comment from one of my customers that purchased a set of ponytail holders (pictured below). How sweet is this!! It put a huge smile on my face!! Reading customer comments is one of the reason I continue to create :)

We have possums & raccoons living in the woods behind our house and my daughter calls them our "little friends in the woods". She will LOVE these ponytail holders. Thanks!

Needle Felted Kitty

2011-03-28T23:08:00.000-07:00

I saw these hello kitty trinkets and was inspired to make a needle felted version. I am pretty satisfied the way my little kitty turned out :)

Check out these super cute hello kitty charms and coin capsules. You can find these in Gacha coin machines for $1.00 (quarters only). Whenever we go to the local japanese market we pass the Gacha coin machines on our way out and I find myself digging into my pockets and handing my girls quarters for these cute trinkets.

Here is their website to view the entire hello kitty series

Western Spaghetti Anyone??

2011-02-17T17:38:00.000-08:00

My daughters showed me this cool stop motion video. I find it simply amazing how stop motion videos are made. Move take picture, move take picture, etc.... My daughters have also developed a liking for stop motion and have actually made a few videos. I will post them once I figure how to transfer them from my MacBook to my blog. My youngest daughters favorite part is when he smashes the tomatos with the wooden spoon. Grab your fork and plate and dig in!!!

Garden Babies

We planted some bell peppers and green beans about two months ago. After much care and anticipation we finally see the fruits of our labor. This is the first time we planted green beans and I must say they are just too cute! The bell peppers are growing very well in 5 gallon pots. We also have sequoia strawberries, cucumbers, jalapenos, cherry tomatos, eggplant, and a host of herbs.

My little sister created a couple of beautiful flower rings, using polymer clay and small pieces of wire. Her inspiration for these fashionable accessories were the colorful flowers our family is currently growing in the backyard. I can't wait to plant more flowers in my open-minded garden!

I stumbled on these mickey vinylmations when we took the "kids" to disneyland and since then I've been secretly collecting.... just don't let my husband know.

Simple Fun

2009-09-07T14:38:00.000-07:00

We took the kids to Coronado Beach over the Labor Day weekend. They had a blast boogie boarding, making sand castles and combing the beach for sand dollars. I have to admit I had just as much fun. It brought back memories from my childhood, I remember looking for sand dollars but ended up with only bits and pieces. So I got just as excited, when the kids found some beautiful whole sand dollars. Sometimes the simple things...are the most fun.

Mothers Day Inspiration

2009-05-11T22:06:00.000-07:00

People have asked me where I get my inspiration. Well ... here are some drawings my youngest daughter made for me on Mothers Day 2009. I think kids have the cutest design sense. I usually pin up all my kid's drawings in my studio. They inspire me when I'm thinking of new designs and ideas. Happy Mothers Day to all.

SunDrop Clips Rady Children's Hospital Fundraiser

2009-05-04T22:51:00.000-07:00

I had the great privilege to showcase my wool felt hair clips at a Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary fundraiser for their Bonita Unit. Part of the proceeds raised will go towards sponsoring kid focused events in support of Children's Hospital. I took the opportunity to introduced my upcoming line of SunDrop burp cloths and SunDrop baby blankets/picnic throws. More importantly, my daughter and I had a wonderful time. I think I found a business partner, she enjoyed herself and was a big help. She and I look forward to our next event and we will keep you posted.

Congratulations its a GIRL!!!

2009-04-17T22:43:00.000-07:00

My nephew just had a precious baby girl. I decided to sew some cute little burp cloths for her. Check them out! I thought they came out nice. I wish I had thought of making these when I had my little ones. This is my first attempt at using a power tool I still have all my fingers :)
