Love Bunny needs a chance

Thursday, April 2, 2009

Oh come on, this knit bunny is just too cute! Where do people come up with all their ideas and creative notions? I am loving finding Easter things for people to look through in case they need ideas for gifts, I'm going to do some Passover hunting today as well.

As for the bunny you see posted here, this is part of the description on the shop page: "The life of a Love Bunny ain't all candy and flowers. Poor Sugar got his heart ripped out by a fast-moving, fast-talking Jack Rabbit. A few careful stitches, and his heart's back in the right place - he's ready to love again. Will you give this sweet little Bunny a chance?"

If that doesn't make you want to give him a chance I don't know what will...except maybe the fact that he is also on sale right now!

Zombree Knits is the Etsy shop where you'll find this cute little bunny and other adorable knits. The designer and owner of the shop says she has a passion for creation. She is a graphic designer/illustrator by day, but all that computer time usually leaves me longing for something tactile. Knitting fills that void. "I love working with fiber and seeing a piece take shape. Most of my creations are pretty organic. I'll often start with a pattern but branch off if I feel that something else is trying to come through. Everything in my shop is one of a kind."

She says she loves knitting with her bamboo needles because they stay warm in her hands. Acrylic is her favorite knit since it's wash friendly.

Just be sure to get to her shop ASAP since there are not many items still left for sale.

    Pet Plants from Globally Cute

    I read about these pet egg plants on The Daily Kool after seeing their submission on Digg. They are so cute, I think I need to get one for Braeden for Easter. Yes, I think I will do that.

    Nyokki! Nyokki! Nyokki! ("grow! grow! grow!") and that's what these cheerful pet plants do. Small, but precious characters (about the size of a real egg, with fabric legs), Nyokki are handmade in Japan from glazed ceramic. They are filled with a growing medium and rye grass seed that grows to full height in about two weeks.

    You can buy them at Globally Cute. Whether it's a treat to yourself or a gift for someone special, at GloballyCute.com, you will always find something unique, eco-friendly and fun!

    Muddy Fingers Pottery

    Monday, March 30, 2009

    "At my shop, you'll find quite a variety of handmade, original objects with the sole purpose of pleasing your eye and heart."

    Owner/creator of Muddy Fingers Pottery loves what she does for a living. She lives in Southern California and loves working with stoneware or porcelain. "I manage a pottery studio where I teach 3 classes a week, load, unload, and fire kilns. I love my job and I wouldn't dream of doing anything else for a living. I love clay, my awesome students and feel blessed to be able do what I love for a living."

    The Turquoise and White Spring Flower Basket would be perfect for you to have around the house for Easter. Or if you are feeling generous you could fill it with flowers or goodies and give it to your grandma for Easter. The description on the page where you can buy this basket says, "Made from highfire stoneware clay, this graceful basket has some lovely subtle details that give it a certain charm. It is water tight and dishwasher safe. It measures 9" tall and 6.5" wide." I think it's just beautiful!

    She also makes pendants from stoneware clay which are stunning and rustic looking. They are strung with thin leather strips. She says they are great for your fall wardrobe, but I think they would be perfect to wear all year round.

    Definitely check out the shop, find some Easter giftings and enjoy.

    Gnome Homes and Easter Eggs

    Tuesday, March 24, 2009

    Looking for a way to bring spring inside without the green thumb know how or pollen? Or maybe you'd like to buy a special Easter or Passover gift for someone special.

    Then you need to know about Gnome Homes! They make moss terrariums which have been a family tradition for three generations. Matt is the chief terrarium creator and Meghan handles shipping, the online stuff and polymer creations.

    The terrarium you see pictured here is a Small Egg Terrarium with Orange Mushrooms. It is a perfect little plot of moss to put wherever your life needs a little brightening up!

    This lovely little terrarium includes the figurines shown, the two orange mushrooms. All figurines have metal stakes to ensure secure placement within this tiny world. Since they are not permanently attached you can move them around to your hearts content.

    This jar is filled with rocks, dirt, moss and love. It is extremely easy to care for...all it needs is indirect light and a spritz of water twice a month.

    In anticipation of the upcoming Easter Holiday we have decided that every customer from now until April 8th will receive a FREE Easter egg figurine for their terrarium!

    They make four sizes of terrarium's: tiny, small, medium and large.

    You can find out more about Matt, Meghan and their crafts at the Gnome Home blog    .

    NogginsNBobbins

    Saturday, March 21, 2009

    This floppy ear Easter bunny hat was just too cute not to write about. Made from super soft yarn in "natural" with a big pink flower on the side. This hat can also be made in brown, white, or tan. The hat can also be made with no flower (or detachable flower) and light blue ears and trim for boys.

    The store is nogginsnbobbins which is also just too cute; what a clever name! The shop's owner is Heather and she resides in Wisconsin. She has three children of her own and is a stay-at-home Mom who somehow also finds the time for crafty projects. She says her grandma taught her to crochet and sew fifteen years ago and the crafts inspire her.

    The beanie sizing chart is as follows:

    0-3 months fits heads up to 14"
    3-6 months 14"-16"
    6-12 months 16"-18"
    12-24 months 18"-19.5"
    2T-4T 19.5"-20.5"
    5T-preteen 20.5"-21.5"
    Preteen-adult 21.5"-?

    In addition to the adorable baby beanies she also sells baby cocoons, scarfs, mittens and sometimes a destash of yarn if you're lucky. She happily accepts custom orders, but asks that you be aware most orders take two weeks to arrive.
