Now THIS is quilling!

My co-workers and I were so floored by a Neiman Marcus holiday catalog that featured quilling on the cover. It was simple but supremely beautiful. After a bit of looking around we discovered the artist. Yulia Brodskaya. With a whole list of accolades and clients from big brands I couldn't help but want to share her incredible work. I'm sure you'll agree too. Photo by Yulia Brodskaya at artjulia

Valentine's Pins! Part 2

Well I had lot's of fun making these pins. I had some felt and batting and embroidery floss, plus pins. And a whole list of taste description words. I realized early on I could get a maximum of 5 letters to decently fit onto my heart. So I stuck to that and freehanded my words in embroidery. I decided to make it a luck of the draw and have a good laugh at the blushes my co-workers wore as they drew their flavor words..But I let them off the hook and permitted trading..They all faithfully wore their hearts. My husband I hope will sport his "stud" and my son M (who's 6) already wants to wear his "hunk" around school, my daughter K, loves to smile with her "sweet".

Valentine's Pins!

I love Valentine's Day and I try to give my co-workers and friends a little something to celebrate the day with me. With a lot of people it's hard to come up with some budget friendly items to give away. Luckily I browsed purlbee.com and found these cute Valentine's Heart pins. I'll be doing a version of this. I'm already trying to decide which heart to give to who..Image via: purl bee
