I love this set of pink stuff! I find it so relaxing. I would love a room full of those pink candles!

Our Pink Heart Lock Necklace adds a little bit of edge to this set, and I like it!

How cute is this outfit?! I love gray bags! I even think gray might be my favorite color! Does that make me boring?

Our Plaid Circle Studs don’t get a whole lotta love on polyvore, so when i saw this outfit, I knew I had to post it right away. Love the dress! BONUS POINTS: The outfit was created by Leigh of constant-cravings.com, who is one of my favorite outfit creators!

Right on the heels of our last custom baby bag for Rachel, Steph (our awesome graphic designer) asked us if we would create a baby bag for her.

We had been throwing around some unicorn designs (for some soon-to-be-posted necklaces!!) and she got the idea for a bag with a GLITTER unicorn on it. She drew up a sketch and designed her print, as I scoured the internet for products that would allow me to glitter up my screen prints. A few pattern designs later, this baby was born! This is probably the most complex bag I have ever made, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out:



Look at that magnificent sparkly unicorn!


It features:

  • three pockets on the outside w/buttons
  • two pockets on the inside
  • a partition dividing the inside of the bag into two parts
  • long adjustable straps, so it can be worn as a purse, or a messenger style bag
  • a magnetic snap closure
  • three fabric covered one inch buttons that match the (super cute) lining of the bag

    • *phew* A lot of the features were first times for me – like the partition and the magnetic snap closure, so I took things really slow. It took me a while to put the whole thing together, but it was totally worth it!! I was/am so happy with how it turned out, I found myself having a hard time sending it off to Steph! I hope her (and her soon to be born baby) love it as much as I do! <3

    What do you guys think? Do you guys love unicorns as much as Steph and I?

    I’ve been keeping an eye on Polyvore lately to see if anyone would create some sets using our new anchors away necklaces and a few days ago, this adorable Paris themed set popped up! How cute are these outfits? I love the ruffled skirt, and the heart bag!

    ACK! I’ve been so bad at posting to this blog. Life has been busy lately, and blogging has fallen to the bottom of my to-do list.

    I have a lot in my Cherry Red hopper at the moment, and I’ve been so focused on creating new things, that I haven’t been keeping you all in the loop :(

    I made this custom tote for my old friend Rachel (seriously, I went to elementary school with her!) who is expecting her first baby at the end of June (OMG!) and wanted a baby bag to match her adorable stoller.

    This bag is up there among my favorite custom creations of all time:



    I created the leafy pattern, screen printed it onto the fabric (in three custom mixed colors), and made some extra buttons out of some of the fabric scraps. I also reinforced the bottom, but I forgot to take a picture :( The teal straps were a PERFECT match for the polka dotted teal lining fabric, I really couldn’t have been more perfect!

    Congrats Rachel! I hope you (and your baby) love your new tote!

    I LOVE this outfit! I can totally see myself wearing something like this to work! Which reminds me – I need to find a good brown skirt for the spring. I’ve been wanting to make an elastic waist skirt using this awesome tutorial for a while. I’ll be sure to post pictures when I do!

    I love all of the skull accessories in this set! I used to have a skullie belt buckle in college!

    I’ve been working on restocking our Black Skullie Bows, so look out for that this week!
