Here are some recent treasures I’ve received from friends…

A little bag from Haruna, she blogged about here too!

What do I keep in this little beauty?

USB thumb drives! I love it, thanks Haruna!!!

This next bag is from my sister-in-law, it was my Christmas present this past holiday season, one of my favorites (she’s also one of my sewing inspirations,  she was making clothes in high school that are still cooler and more complicated than anything I’ve ever made!)!

What’s in this beauty?

My lifeline, the laptop! It also can hold my school books, pens, pencils and yes, that left pocket fits the iphone perfectly!

Handmade + Tech = Happy Tiffy!

A little valentine’s love.

A little late… but perfect!

Our Bogle Bib Rosa, has been featured on the blog “Only the best of Etsy”

Isn’t she darling!?

I hinted a couple weeks back that we were working on something! Well it’s time for that something to be reveled!

Auntie Rene & myself have formed a crafty partnership!

Phase 1: Monster bibs for Toddlers!
After many afternoons of dreaming, drafting monsters, pattern making, sewing, prototypes, and photo shoots with our own monster we have launched our first 6 bibs! Each Bogle Bib is unique and individual as the child who wears it! Including ribbon teeth, giant mouths to keep the droppings contained and amazing personalities!

Here’s our day in pictures!

Making cookies for Papa!

Intrigue.

The Attack!

The withdrawal. If she could speak more words, they would be “Yuck! What’s on my hands?”

A solid fabric bonanza, from craigslist!

Baby destruction of said fabrics. Currently waiting patiently for the 7am Yosemite Camping Reservation sale!

AND still waiting for my valentine… Etta’s full mouth kisses, are sweet, but I like flowers…

It’s rapidly approaching! Since Valentine’s falls on a Sunday this year I’m totally sad that my valentine giving won’t be “officially” on valentine’s day… and yes, I’m one of those annoying co-workers who give gifts on  most holidays!

Here’s what I made the year before last… From Martha’s inspiration “See through Valentines”

Each heart had a different little stamp and was filled with Dark Chocolate M & M’s! So sweet & so cute!

Here’s what we did for 2010 valentines!

Etta even made her own valentines, with a little help from Mommy & Auntie Rene! She colored and we assembled!

Next step was the goodies! Chocolate & Coconut No Bake Cookies & Chocolate Mint Sugar Cookies!

All that cooking tired the poor babe out, and once she was asleep, I snuck out of bed and finished the assembly process!

Three special people got these…

As in all things, I intended to make a whole bunch more of these polyester roses… between the baby, my full time job, and the class I’m taking this term (excuses) I just didn’t get around to it!

Happy Early Valentines Day!

Sideways, but so much fun!

I’ve had a pretty amazing week. That’s because I’m judging my week by how much naping the kid does after I get home from work! I know pretty selfish, but I thrive off of what we call “Tiffy Time”.

With all this lovely napping, I’ve been able to get some crafty projects completed! I downloaded a sweet tutorial from Foundling an Etsy store over a year ago, and never got around to actually making these Polyester beauties till now!

They are awesome, and so simple to make… I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot more around here soon, well that’s if the kiddo takes some nice long naps this weekend!

These two have turned into a broach and a hair accessory, and are on the way to their new homes!

A trip to Butte Creek Mill and their Antique Store!!!

A little bit of thrifty treasure…

And sunshine… so much sunshine we were able to save a little power!
