Green Thumb

Hard at work keeping the succulents alive and well for the holiday season. I used to sell these in five or seven packs, but it seems selling them individually works out even better. Find them at Kitsch for just $3 a piece!

Succulent Palate

I ordered lots of new felt last week from a new supplier. Even though most of the colors were the same, I decided to branch off in the world of my succulent colors. Seems pretty fitting for the weather outside.

Need your daily dose of felt flowers, follow along on Instagram.

New Product Alert!

Brooches meet succulents. The newest felt creation from Fairview Place.
For sale soon at Kitsch and Artfully Yours.

#7: Succulent Brooches

I'm participating in the 92 Days of Summer challenge. Click here to see my 92 To-Do's for this Summer - and to see the brave souls tackling their own lists!

Snow Day Forecast

This is what happens when you've been up since 7 a.m. on a Snow Day, have had several cups of coffee and a very long to-do list. This is the most productive I've been in a long time and I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of myself. I knocked off the computer stuff first thing so I could leave the rest of the day to my creative juices. 

• I prepared this appetizing soup (minus 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, frozen spinach instead of fresh and a whole lot of extra herbs) last night for dinner. 

I made these new Door Knob Wreaths from miniature grapevine wreaths my Mom found for me at the Goodwill (score!). 

I tagged and inventoried brooches, hair clips, all new hair combs and succulents (now selling individually) for Kitsch. 

I finally got around to making this custom request for a bestie overseas. Now I'll just need to find a box to ship this oddly shaped pillow and stuff with the rest of the goodies I've been stashing for the last couple of weeks. I have left to cross off some Wedding blogs, but the night is still young. 

One last photo for the evening and then it's time to get on to the next list item. Here's to hoping another five inches of snow comes overnight and we get another day at home!

#19: Felt Succulents

It has taken a lot of convincing from John of Glass Gardens to get me to make these...but I have to admit they are pretty adorable. I spent a drive up to Richmond on Saturday cutting out hundreds of these little leaves (and getting felt scraps all over the car). Sunday night when we got home, I assembled them all, only to realize a much easier way to create them. Sorry, that trick is a secret. But these little cuties can be yours, head over to the Etsy shop to see what is available. They will also be making their way to Kitsch sometime this month.
