My hot coco is toooo hot.

I posted this on Facebook a few hours ago, but I thought it was worth blogging as well.

Had another hot coco night with the boyfriend tonight .... but our mugs were just tooooo hot.

So I made new cuppy sleeves to fix our problem.

Now all I need is my boyfriend to come back over for more coco!!!

Crafting on the fly ... Im such a grannie.

P.S. I haven't made these sleeves in along, I'm surprised at how quickly I whipped some up.

Saturday Morning Crafting

The "Uber Slouchy Sweeeet Hat"

My latest Slouchy creation.

My latest sale and latest creation is this tan slouchy hat. I used the "puffy" stitch I love so much and the loveliest {acrylic} yarn I could get my hands on. I've made variations of this same hat but since I already mastered the originally pattern that I learned how to construct a hat from I've been trying different things to make it my own pattern and style.

Tis another hat to make it's way into my shop.

Color me pretty

I heart yarn and fabric.

Sew Storm

The other day as it snowed outside
there was a sew storm brewing inside.

Building up my spring stuff for Etsy ... stay posted.

MacLovin'

I've been developing and spicing up my "MacLovin Sleeve".

While trying to figure out how to lift the spirits of my little ole' laptop sleeve I decided to go with my branch idea, that came from the general idea and use of Mr. Mac A. Roni himself. With Him I'm hoping and praying that I can branch out of my current situation and "get out there" in the design world {and or craft world} and get some sort of exposure.

So far, so good

And who knows where or what the Lord can do
with me, Mr. Mac and even Etsy.


For now here's my finished product.
My Branch & Buttons MacLovin' sleeve.



And because I love yellow I lined it with this awesomely soft and durable felt like fabric. Mind you, this is only a sleeve not exactly a "case" so it's thick enough to protect from scratching and ruining the face of my laptop, but simply put its like a book cover not really a book bag. In time I will probably explore thicker fabrics and quilted linings to develop actual cases, but for now sleeves are what I'll be making.

Alright, back to the cutting board for sleeve numero dose,
and to the sketch book I go for more spinach love.

Happy Monday everyone.

Building up my shop

I've been crafting, drawing and Etsy-ing all day. I'm almost ready to go live... almost. And for now there won't be many products listed in my shop but I'll for sure welcome custom orders.

{ NOTE: I can and will take any custom orders now, prior to opening my Etsy... just let me know here or via email: riniandfaith@gmail.com }
