still reeling in sweet thoughts


I am SO getting into this baking thing! I got a hot red mixer for christmas so I'm still in the mood for sweets even after christmas:) And how can you not love cupcakes (Sabrina, I totally understand) They are so cute and there's so many variations and embellishments to add not to mention the flavorings and cake part. I ran across this gal's blog that sells cupcake and baking accoutrements. i love the printed cake cups and gnome cookie cutters! check out bake it pretty.

an om-my-gosh artist




I was just introduced to the work of Rob Ryan...and wow! He's known for his intricate papercut pieces. check him out for some wonderous inspiration! I like the writing in his pieces too.

Vogue Knitting



Only recently have I grown interested in knitting. In my online search, I came across this site for a magazine called Vogue Knitting. They have cool patterns for clothing, scarves and purses. With an investment in needles and yarn, plus the new sewing machine I got this Christmas, I think I'm going to make myself some clothes!

{handmade} giftables


Happy New Year Everyone!! So I ran across these adorable cards while I was at Paper Trails, a stationery shop in Rocky River. Night Owl Paper Goods makes these cute and whimsical yet retro feeling cards and gifts. I just loooove the cards on actual wood that look like they are illustrated right on the thin wood board. And they are green!
