Reusable coffee sleeves

Another craft that combines a few of my favorite things-being green, coffee, and handmade. I found a few tutorials on how to make these reusable coffee sleeves...



Here are the instructions on how to make this fabric sleeve from Imagine Fabric.

Here's another tutorial from thriftyfun.com


Green, coffee, handmade, and breast cancer awarness-what could be better? Here is the pattern.



This is such an inexpensive and cute gift idea. You can personalize it based on the recipient.

So here's the problem-I don't sew or crochet. My mom does though and I think I will be asking her to make me one. I'm thinking I want a crocheted one with a flower on it. Maybe I'll have her make me a few different styles.

And last but not least-In case you are like me and can't crochet or sew and don't have a mamma who can here are some available to purchase...

Handmade Shopping Cart/High Chair Cover

There are so many reasons I love this handmade shopping cart cover made by Tinder Designs. It brings together my love of zebra/pink, handmade, and speaks to the germaphobe in me. So cute. I wanted to get this for Tarynn so badly, but had already purchased her one at Walmart and couldn't justify having two :( I'm still trying to think of a way to get it. Maybe hand down her current one to her grandparents?

Love this

I went to the Art n'craftacular in Loomis on Sunday and met Pam of Warm Hugs Designs. She didn't have a booth, but approached my friend Liz and I while we were sitting outside letting the little ones play. She makes dresses from upcycled vintage pillow cases. I cannot say how much I love love love this idea. I love vintage, I love repurposing, and I love sundresses. Ahhh perfection. I checked out her etsy and her blog and there are some really adorable items.
