Baby Brother and New Kitties

My friends just had their second baby. So the new baby gets an Alphabet Bear with a letter "E" on it (for Emerson). Their older son, Josiah, is about to turn two and he's pretty excited to have a new baby brother. I wanted to give him a little gift too because the new baby is going to be getting lots of things and I didn't want Josiah to feel left out. So I made him a little Kitty based on his real kitty. It was my first attempt at making a custom Kitty which was pretty fun. I think you might be seeing a "custom Kitty" option in my store eventually. Oh, and the last two pics are my new Kitties that I just finished. They'll be going up in the store in the next few days.

Artist: Karina Kalvaitis of The Secret Nest

Check out these crazy creations by Karina from The Secret Nest. I would love one of these fuzzy sculptures for my desk. They are just so lovely and whimsical. There are little treasures in the caves which is super fun. Check out The Secret Nest shop here.

Artist: paige russel

I love the ceramics of Paige Russel. The silhouette vehicles of her "North American Wild Life" series are super darling. They would make great xmas gifts for sure. Check them out on the Paige Russel website and etsy store.

Artist: Papaver Vert

I absolutely love these felted bowls and coasters by Papaver Vert. They are so elegant, and the colors are great. See more on the Papavert Vert etsy, blog and over at poppytalk handmade.

This is some of the most gorgeous jewelry I've seen in a while. Can you believe that it's made out of polymer clay! It is made by artist Jennifer Morris. Check out more in her etsy store and check out her flickr for some beautiful photography.

Design This Design That interview

I was interviewed by Ariadna of Design This Design That a while back for her online magazine. The issue was about toys and now it's out, yay! There are so many wonderful artists highlighted in it, including some of my favorite toy makers. You can check it out here.

Artist: Lisa Riddle of nowvember

I think these are just darling. They are little notebooks that have been hand embroidered by artist Lisa Riddle of nowvember. They would make super fun stocking stuffers! (hint hint) See more in the nowvember etsy shop.
