It's been a while since I made any cotton bunnies.

Organic Cotton

Did you hear about the CPSIA situation? No toys with lead (DUH!) are allowed to be sold. Testing was going to be required. Then there was a stay of execution. And natural materials are exempt.





HUGH SIGH OF RELIEF!





I've always used all natural materials in my Woolies. But now even more so - and luckily, the natural fibers are becoming more readily available (although still kinda pricey).


So, with a new design and organic cottons - check out Beatrice!



She's available in my Woolies shop. I hope she finds somebody to love her!

Tree Branch Button Earrings






My friend Jenn from The Button Shop makes the most wonderful hand carved buttons from tree branches - you have to see ~~~~~






They come in all shapes and sizes, and she uses all different kinds of wood - cedar, maple, oak, willow. I have a bunch of them. So I was looking for something else yesterday, and I found two almost perfectly matching cedar ones. I thought, wow, because I am so obsessed lately with making jewelry, I'll bet these would make cool earrings.


So.......


Voila! Tree Branch Button earrings!!! I hope somebody falls in love with them. They're for sale at Buster and boo - stop on by!
