A grey weekend with a chill in the air left us longing for a cozy blanket to cuddle under. We are, as ever, quite taken with Donna Wilson's designs and this 100% lambswool fits the bill to keep us nice and toasty. She's got a knack for patterns, so check out her site for cushions, tea towels, scarves, and plush things to make your heart go pitter patter like an unexpected shower storm.
Scottish textile designer extraordinaire Donna Wilson does some pretty wonderful things with wool. Her site has a selection of blankets and little plush toys, along with this great Make Your Own Monster kit, which features a creature form, stuffing, and sew-on accessories.
Sure, you could tie a piece of string around your finger, but jotting your thoughts down on this notepad will guarantee you'll remember. Made with recycled paper, soy inks, and a design from a papercut by artist Nikki McClure, you just might want to use it for more than a grocery list.
If you're a fan of classic patterns and love the look of vintage sheets, check out these sweet packs of pre-cut prints from LA-based sewing and crafting workshop Home Ec. Ten different 18"x22" fat quarters (a phrase which refers to the squat, square-ish shape of the piece as opposed to a longer strip) come in each collection, each one pretty perfect for adding a splash of color to any artsy project. And if you're down in LA, stop by the shop or pop in for a class!
Whether you're an avid crafter or font enthusiast, looking for some nifty little decorations to spice up your home or just love thumbing through a quality grab bag of paper goodies, Janet Morales and Stu Eli have put together a pack just for you. Each is unique, featuring numbers, tickets, labels, stamps, stencils, maps, and more. When you're done pining for paper, treat yourself to a virtual browse through their online shop, Three Potato Four, featuring mostly vintage and some new pieces for your tabletop, kid's room, office, and kitchen.
