Handmade Pick of the Week

Share
Ahh, spring is just around the corner! I'm thinking about flowers, green grass, and the Easter bunny today! What a great time to feature Auntie Jill. I just adore her shop! My girls now own three of her stuffed lovelies! My youngest daughter has the snuggle bunny pictured above. She loves her rabbit and drags it everywhere she goes! Jill uses minky fabric for most of her creations so they are super soft and perfect for snuggle time!


Here are some of her smaller snuggle bunnies. I think these would make a great baby shower gift. She makes these in both minky fabric and fleece.


I love this enchanted unicorn too. Her horn is made of brocade fabric and she has a small rosebud above her tail made of ribbon. She's perfect for all sorts of magical adventures!

Here is a very sweet elephant that Jill created for a special boy named Jacob. Jacob, who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma on 12/31/09, loves elephants. This elephant is helping to raise funds for Jacob's extensive medical costs. I have no doubt that this elephant has given Jacob lots of comfort!
I really like the colorful mane on this lion. He looks like he's ready for some fun, and for spring too!
It's obvious that all of Jill's animals are made with love. They are soft, cuddly, and very well made! You can find Auntie Jill on Etsy www.auntiejill.etsy.com or at http://www.auntiejillshop.com/

Handmade Pick of the Week

Share

In case you haven't figured it out yet, I have a bit of an obsession with all things handmade! Just when I think I couldn't possibly discover another amazing artist or crafter, I stumble upon a new one and I am once again amazed. So, I'd like to start featuring and sharing some of my favorite handmade finds.



Today, I'd like to share a great Etsy shop with you that I discovered just in the past month. Monica with Mo and Ozzy Creative Crochet Hats makes the cutest crochet hats! Her creations are truly creative and unique. I love both the colors and the designs of her hats. They are bright and cheerful, and just plain fun!



And Monica doesn't just make hats! You can also check out her Etsy shop to see her other creations including hair accessories and purses. www.etsy.com/shop/moandozzy



She is hosting a giveaway on her blog right now. Be sure to check it out! Oh, and wish her a Happy Birthday while you are there!
