Pros: Good Quality, Polished, Comfortable, Unique, Sparkles

Best Uses: Everyday

Describe Yourself: Classic, Practical, Comfort-Oriented, Modern, Stylish

I love this ring. The construction is solid with the perfect weight. It feels substantial without being too bulky or uncomfortable. I work at an active job where I am indoors and out and working with kids and with my hands. This ring has been very comfortable.

Woven Ribbon Pillow

Now that I'm *mostly* moved into my little place, I've been nesting. Curtains, painting thrifted furniture, and some other goodies.

Here is my latest sewing project: woven ribbon pillow. It's 18x18 and has a zipper so it's removable for spot cleaning. Looks lovely with my WHITE furniture. Now that I don't have cats, I can have WHITE furniture. Whoa.

It is available in my crabapple etsy shop as a custom item but is a fun project to make on your own.

Towels, Shows, & Other Good Stuff

So much news since my last entry. New city (Corpus), new apartment (totally heart it), new everything practically. Including this new item of obsession: towels. And make-your-own-bias tape. Here is a bias tape making tool in action.


These are "prototypes," which is what I call anything that I screw up when I'm first learning to make it. So they are in fact all screwed up but the colors are still fun. And there is a fresh stack of hand towels ready to be decorated in a non-screwed up fashion.







These goodies and lots more will be featured at my next show: The Lone Star Ladies Present: Shop Austin on April 18 in downtown Austin. Go here to reserve half price tickets to pick up when you arrive at the show.

The very generous Catherine of The Everyday Scrapper featured Crab Apple Designs on her blog this week and used items from the shop for several of her paper crafting projects. It is a huge honor for me to be featured and I want everyone to go there and show her website all kinds of love!!

Etsy Treasuries

I am so honored to say that recently I've been featured in TWO different etsy treasuries, both unique and quite lovely.

The first is a blue theme (expired) by Susantique and the second is a clock/time theme by ZAIcouple. Here are screen shots, or click to go shopping!

Print Your Own Valentines

I'm pleased to announce that my print your own owl valentines are selling nicely in my etsy shop. Hooray! One mom told me today that her child plans to use them to make valentines for their class party. What a cool idea! For only $4.00, you can make as many valentines as you like. Neat!
