Finally posting...some sad news

Okay, so I haven't posted anything since March....oops! Life is so busy, it's hard to make time for blogging. I already take enough pictures of everything, so this is just one extra step. Shouldn't be that big of a deal!

My friend K has been going through some tough times lately, including losing both of her cats, about a week apart...she's having a hard time with it(as anyone would!!) and I racked my brain trying to come up with something I could do for her.

I decided to make her a rice pack, which she can heat up in the microwave and use for sore muscles, etc...I knew her cats always slept on top of her, so I thought this would be a good kitty substitute. Warm and heavy. And I embroidered silly kitty likenesses on each side of it. I know some people might be weirded out by that, but I think she will like it.

RIP One-Eyed Jack and Elvis! You were good kitties.

New to Etsy?

I found this great guide for those people who are new to Etsy shopping. It can be quite confusing at first, but this page contains everything you need to know to optimize your Etsy shopping experience. Now get out there and find some awesome handmade stuff! (like the photo above...I know, I'm shameless :))

Most recent fave

This is my favorite scarflette we've produced so far, I just had to share it! It's the first in our new line of dyed scarflettes, and it's fleece lined, so soft and cozy! And, of course, it can be found in our Etsy shop (http://stirdesigns.etsy.com)!
