I love Collaborating

Wow, is it really Friday already? Man, the week has flown by and I did not even see it coming! Lots of fun crafty stuff coming your way over the next few days. :) The first one is in the new issue of VivaLaModa magazine. I absolutely love collaborating on this ultra cool indie magazine. It features all handmade items from around the web and I get to do the kids themed articles, which of course I totally dig! This month I featured items with a Valentine's Day theme. I also included a fun tutorial to make a sweet little owl pencil topper.
You can find the owl tutorial on page 20-21. I also put it in a sweet little PDF that you can download here. Oh and I have even more Valentine's crafty goodness coming your way tomorrow! I love the photo I took of Gia...it was completely on a whim. She actually stepped in front of my camera as I was taking finishing shots of the felt. I love candid shots that you get just at the right time...of course, that only happens once in a blue moon. ;)
This was the second shot of the owl up close.
Hope you enjoy. If you decide to make this little guy, I would love for you to share a pic!

Wishing

Sometimes, I wish Gia was still a baby just so that she could still wear all the cute things that I come across. Case in point, these adorable little shoes from sugarplumbtree on Etsy.
