Aren’t these brooches adorable? I just love them and the rest of the work on Cornelia Creations. Check it out for some gorgeous work.
This 0,1,2,3 bag from Sleeping Cat is the perfect size for carrying all your things around with you.
Darlene Waddlesworth is a lovely breed of duck and measures 4.5 inches in height. Her name ‘Darlene’ means tenderly beloved, little darling and she certainly lives up to her name. She loves to spend time with people and listen to conversation. You can adopt Darlene from Wolly Wotnots.
I really like the sentiment in this wall hanging by Beans Things.
Hootie Coo Girls have come up with a fab idea - you can mix and match the designs of these girls to make your own perfect girl. You can change dress, hair colour and personalise it for you or others.
This is such a great headband! Get this Jenny Headband from Miss Indie.
These earrings from Ruetabega are bright and would help you to stand out in the crowd.
I really couldn’t decide which item to feature from Susan Nanjarin - this beautiful original encaustic painting called Wish You Were Here won though!
This beautiful features silver freshwater coin pearls with light gray shell rounds and marbleized Italian ceramic beads, all handwrapped with sterling silver wire. Get it from Piedra.
This quilt from Kim’s Crafty Apple is gorgeous and won the EtsyBaby Spring Fling Challenge - I can see why!
I want these bird rockies from Samaria Project - they would look great piled up in a vase.
BeeBee is a lover—she may not have the most perfect smile (hence the underbite) but she gives as much love as you can take!…she loves to nap with you, lay with you, sit with you…pretty much she just wants to be with you! How can you deny those sweet puppy dog eyes!
Don’t fancy piling bird rockies into a vase? Then wear a button version on your jacket or bag!
This Mini Love Bot Bot is rather shy - if you admire her favourite unicorn button she will love you forever!
Nothing makes a better pet than a rock. They always have time to listen and don’t go running off when you least expect. Just remember, rockies hate to be thrown around! Rockie Monster Terr the Terrible is looking for a new home - could he come and live in yours?
Vintage Chenille is chock a block full of cute stuff!
Check out Ruby the Babushka doll - how cute!
A very cute little pear rattle, created from a pale yellow vintage chenille and a gorgeous floral “Aunt Grace” reproduction fabric, this little rattle measures approx 4″ x 3″ and would make an ideal gift for any baby girl or boy.
My Mum and Dad had a chenille blanket when I was little and I used to love snuggling under it. This rag chenille quilt would be fabulous to snuggle under.
Another rattle but this time a carrot!
Do you think if I bought this gorgeous elephant that I would be able to keep it away from my girls?
The second Etsy team to be featured today is Etsy for Autism.
I adore this vase from Glynt Pottery and the way it doesn’t look like your typical boring vase.
Plant Brains makes some super cute hats and I love this polar bear one!
How great would these bright and colourful tags look on your gifts that you give? Or use them for scrapbooking. Either way you can get them from Kim’s Country Cottage.
This bright and colourful Aceo entitled Filed of Flowers has been made by Connor who is the son of Mel of World Of Moments.
I adore hand knitted clothes on children and couldn’t resist showing you this cardigan from Grannys Knits.
I’ve decided to base todays Wednesday feature posts on Etsy Teams. This morning it is the turn of Etsy Hookers - lovely people who do fab things with crochet hooks.
Elmira Elephant is a very special elephant. She could not make up her mind to either join the circus or the zoo. She was watching TV and suddenly decided she wanted neither she wants to be a Nanny and watch over your little ones. She is very very friendly and makes a great friend.
How could you say no to a great pitch like that! Get her from Wigglysee.
These flowers have been made from organic cotton by Annie Design and I can already think of a myriad of uses for them!
I love this bright bottle cover from Valerie’s Gallery - a perfect gift with a bottle of wine!
Another great gift would be these everlasting flowers from Crochet Bouquet - no need to water and they won’t droop!
And this sock monkey is the cutest thing I have seen for a while - too cute!! Get him from Friendlyhands.
Do you remember when I wrote about Viva La Moda a couple of months ago - click here to see the original article. Well the new issue of this online magazine is out now and it’s fabulous. And I’m excited about it because I was asked to write an article about some cute things I found!
We are on page 26 if you fancy looking, but do check out the rest of this magazine as I think Ainhoa has done a great job.
….then check out this interview I did over on Autonomous Artisans (a great blog by the way!) It shows a bit where I have come from and I thought you might find it interesting!
Mixed media artwork by me!
Cuteness is practical!
In these tough economic times (egads, I hate that phrase!), we have to think more practically. Hence, allow me to share with you a few of my favorite “practical” cute things.
Reading is important. Why not read something cute? The Juzzard makes the most darling things…including a comic series called My Cardboard Life. (You can read some of her comics here)
We still need clothes. So wear something cute! And cryptozoologial. A unicorn and a yeti riding on a vespa. It doesn’t get much better than that! Get it from Sir Mitchell.
You can even smell cute. Smell? Yes. This Pink Cupcake scent is amazing! Soap. Necessity. Get it? Then get it from Spa Therapy.
And we mustn’t neglect our walls! Art is good for the soul. Art that makes you laugh is doubly good. Get this cute Boston Terrier from Rubenacker.
And, ok…I am out of practical steam. Practicality really isn’t my strong suite. So, allow me to leave you with Star Trek…Meerkats! Who knew sci-fi could be so cute? These fabulous Meerkats can be yours from Nifty Knits.
Thanks Claire! Great picks! Claire Chambers makes Chickenpants plush and movies, runs TheNeedle.org, and is easily sidetracked! Check out her fabulous site here.
This time I have been looking for houses as apparently my house is in danger - according to the spam emails I get anyway!
I love this collage which is housed inside a salvaged thimble house - get it from Strangelord.
This cute house by Little Quilts would look great either on it’s own or as a little street displayed in my craft room - I’ll have to persuade Matt!
You don’t have to keep cute houses to yourself - send them to your friends with this postcard from Maude.
The Other Mousie thinks that this house would be suitable for one of her sock bunnies - who do you think it would be suitable for?
Fill your home with some of these fabulous house pillows from Leililaloo - my only problem would be which one to choose?
Another great idea! You buy a challenge pack from Junkstop and on the 2nd June an identical pack of stuff will be sent out to all participants. All you have to do is make something from the stuff that is sent to you and upload a photograph to the Flickr group (exact rules will be sent out with the parcel) and voila. You can win a $20 gift certificate from Junkstop! Now where’s my 20 cents….
Thanks to Craft for the link.
I love this idea from Amanda Makepeace - send her a pebble and she will send you an Aceo for free! You can find out more about it here on One Pebble and below is an example of one of the Aceos she has sent out. I’m going to be hunting for pebbles soon to send to her!
My younger daughter came to scare me this morning dressed as a ghost (crocheted blanket over her head!) so todays Cute Overload post is dedicated to ghosts!
This ghost egg cosy would be perfect for cheering you up in the morning - I love him! Get him from Filzplatz.
I couldn’t feature ghosts without featuring something that includes the ghosts from Pac-Man! Get this cute bracelet from Omegazoid.
This little guy looks like a cool dude to me with his glasses! You can find him over at Anna Tillett Designs.
Bloody Bunny has these cute postcards for sale that feature the Boo family.
For those of you who only thought that ghosts live in houses then think again with this cute garden ghost from Odd Imagination.
It’s always an...
