I Heart Fridays - Kozy Komforts

  I love supporting other handmade businesses, especially mompreneurs.  And this 'I Heart Friday' business is Kozy Komforts, definitely a favourite of mine!  I connected with the owner, Cristin, online through mutual friends and fell in love with her knitted/crocheted creations.  We also have a shared love of turquoise and coffee!  She makes so many fun and functional products including the facial skrubbies and beautiful cowl pictured below. I also own an awesome custom mug cozy for my coffee in the cold mornings!

  I love these cotton facial skrubbies! Gentle on the skin and perfect for my daughters at bath time, or for me during my nighttime skin care routine!  I asked her to surprise me with the colours and I loved what she picked out!  I've washed them several times and they still look great and have held their shape! The headband she includes with her orders works perfect to keep my hair back while washing my face too.

  Being a huge Hunger Games fan, I had my eye on these 'Katniss' inspired cowls for a long time.  So I finally decided to order one, and well, I absolutely LOVE it!   I was so excited to open this package when it came in the mail.  This cowl is so thick and well made.  It is perfect for the Fall and Winter months when the weather is cooler.  I'm looking forward to the colder weather just to wear this.....almost (I do love my sunshine!)

DIY Baby Toys: Gifts for my new Nephew!

I love DIY projects and I'm always looking to challenge myself with creating something new.  Handmade gifts are the best and these 2 DIY projects were fairly easy!  

 I enjoy sewing and while I'm not very good at it yet (I like straight sewing lines!) I decided to try out some new projects for my newborn nephew, Nate.  My sister just had a baby boy (first grandson in the family....lots of little girls so having a boy is pretty exciting!!)  I searched out Pinterest for some easy beginner sewing toys to make for him.

First is the taggie blanket toy.  This is a small square toy with ribbons around the edges.  I knew I'd be able to make this one as it's all straight lines and pretty easy.  I found some awesome blue minky fabric and also used some lime green cotton. (the nursery colors are blue and green)  I also used some cellophane inside the square so it makes lots of crunchy noises when played with.  I had been hoarding my StarWars ribbon for quite some time, waiting for the perfect project to use it on (my sisters hubby is a big fan!) So why not use it on this cute toy for their new son!

  I also wanted to make a stuffed animal.  I knew it couldn't be too complicated as my sewing skills are at a beginner level.  I found a cute dino pattern and tutorial that I thought I might be able to pull off.  I think it turned out pretty cute!
