Enjoy a peek into my home studio this morning while its clean! This is were I screen print, hand paint laser goods, assemble, package and ship all your <a href="http://www.lostlittlethings.com/">lost little things</a> goodies. I like to surround myself with plants (nature), treasures from my collections and handmade art to inspire me in my designs. </div>

I had an amazing weekend at Bricolage for Small Business Saturday! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported your local handmade community! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two more fabulous shows going on this weekend at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/393386344153962/">Wintry Pop-up Shop</a> in downtown Boise and the <a href="http://www.boisechristmasshow.com/">Boise Christmas Show</a> at the Expo Center. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THEN I'm off to CA for a week to visit <a href="http://www.renegadecraft.com/losangeles">Renegade LA </a>and do some Christmas shopping before I settle down for a long holiday with the family. Look for my new 2015 wholesale catalog to be released before the new year thanks to my great friend from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/picturemeprettyphoto">Picture me Pretty</a>. I've also been working on some new designs I hope to feature this spring on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lostlittlethings">Etsy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget you can shop lost little things year round at some great local stores in Idaho and Texas. For a full list click <a href="http://www.lostlittlethings.com/p/shop-local.html">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Holidays Everyone!</div>

I love getting creative with new ways to hang artwork. This little project was inspired by the old vintage schoolroom maps that make my heart skip a beat. I used one of my screen printed vintage maps and a couple lengths of molding stained dark. I simply trimmed the map and glued it to the wood, drilled two small holes and hung it with cotton string. A much more affordable mini version that fits great in any space!</div>

If you wanted to get really creative & authentic you could use a golden eye hook drilled into the bottom center to act as a decorative pull hook. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The summer just flew by, now its fall already and I have a lot to catch you up on...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I failed at finishing my summer Pinterest project list. I'm still working on it and have several more projects and posts to update you all on later. Part of the reason I failed was because I rediscovered the awesomeness of laser cutting and got terribly sidetracked making a new line of wood jewelry and accessories for the shop. I've started featuring a few of the new products in stores including <a href="http://spacemontrose.com/" target="_blank">Space Montrose</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CherryTreeCreative" target="_blank">Cherry Tree Creative</a> as well as <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lostlittlethings?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy</a>. I'll have everything new up on my new site after we move but more on that later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Second, we had another beautiful baby boy, Rory, in August. He was a bit earlier then expected but he is happy and healthy. His big brother adores him and we've all adjusted well, including the furry half of the family. You can see some adorable photos of Rory that our friend took at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nicholspixelsphotography?directed_target_id=0" target="_blank">Nichols Pixels Photography</a> on Facebook. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, we have decided to move back home to Boise, Idaho. With baby #2 finally here we've decided we'd like to be closer to our families. I would like to continue expanding my business and my husband is looking to further his career which is difficult to do without more help and support from family and friends. We leave Texas the first of November before the worst of the winter weather starts in. It is going to be quite a change in weather and scenery that will take some getting used to. As much as I absolutely adore Idaho and the northwest I am not a fan of the cold. Snow, beautiful; cold and wind, brrrrrr! But we are terribly excited even though we will miss Austin and the sunshine dearly. I have made some great life long friends here and have had a blast being a part of <a href="http://austincraftriot.com/" target="_blank">Austin Craft Riot</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, as for my shop, I've cut everything back to a minimum on my website and Etsy. Once we get moved and settled in a couple weeks I will be updating my website with both new and old goodies. I will have three main sections in my shop; screen printed home goods, laser cut jewelry and accessories, and state themed gifts. For the moment I intend to keep a few other fan favorites including bottle cap charm necklaces and game board clocks but as far as their future I'll have to see where they fit into the larger scheme of things. I started a catalog in the spring and will have new line sheets and updated wholesale information up as soon as possible. Any questions, requests or concerns can always be answered at lostlittlethings@gmail.com. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, you can see more photos of the family, the shop and follow our big move on Instagram @Ilovelostlittlethings or on Tumblr at <a href="http://ilovelostlittlethings.tumblr.com/">http://ilovelostlittlethings.tumblr.com</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time to get packing!</div>

Recently one of my best friends had a baby shower and I wanted to send something special with the handmade gifts I got from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/petitepensieri" target="_blank">Petite Pensieri</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/babybolt?ref=shop_sugg" target="_blank">Baby Bolt</a>. I saw this really cute DIY cloud toy online so I thought I would make a version of my own. You can find a pattern and full instructions <a href="http://www.hello-refabulous.blogspot.ca/2012/07/happy-cloud-baby-toy-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> at <a href="http://www.hello-refabulous.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">ReFabulous</a>.

As always I challenged myself to hand draw my own pattern. I also used scraps of ribbon I had left over from other projects instead of fabric. And with a piece of ribbon I added a hoop at the top so they could double as car seat entertainment. </div>

I have a whole collection of used books I've picked up here and there from thrift stores and yard sales. Some I love just for how pretty they are, some I'd actually read and others I bought with projects in mind. I have several book projects on my summer DIY to do list and this is just the first of them. I have been looking for a Rolodex of sorts for my office to hold photos, mail, business cards, etc. Since I haven't found anything I loved I decided to make one of my own out of an old book by simply folding the pages to create a sturdy fan effect. Starting in the middle, I folded the pages in half then worked my way out to the sides; fanning out the last half inch on either side to disguise the inside cover. You can use any size book and create your own unique style of Rolodex! Here is mine...</div>

Well this project wasn't on my official summer DIY list but it was one that just screamed at me after our cheap muffin pan was official ruined in the last wash. It was perfect timing for me to propagate some of my spring succulents. I also had a rusty bread pan I picked up in a batch at a yard sale a while back that fits perfect in my kitchen window seal. It was in need of some yummy smelling herbs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is my version of a succulent centerpiece perfect for your indoor or outdoor table; wedding or summer party...</div>

I opted not to drill holes in the bottom of my pan as I want to potentially use it on my nice dinning table. However, I recommend drilling small holes if possible because succulents require very good drainage.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a variety of succulent shoots I had from other plants and mixed in a few new cacti and store bought plants. Make sure to use cacti/succulent soil to encourage proper drainage. I added some decorative white rocks to help contain the soil and make the colors pop.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the bread pan I simply added some small 3-4" basil and lemon thyme plants, filled in with good soil and added decorative rocks. You could use herbs or flowers and these would also make great party or wedding table centerpieces. </div>

<a href="http://austinmakerfaire.com/" target="_blank">Austin Mini Maker Faire</a> was my favorite show of the year! I was on the planning committee again this year and it was so fun to work with such a wonderful team of people. I ended up selling my goods at the show along with almost 100 other Makers. There were over 4100 people in attendance this year at the Palmer Event Center on May 5th. I was happy to see that customers really enjoyed my DIY Game Board Photo Frame Kits I made just for the MMF.</div>

My only regret was that I was stuck at my booth most of the day and couldn't run around doing DIY projects and playing with robots like the kids. But I'm excited to announce that the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TechShopAustinRoundRock" target="_blank">TechShop</a> is having their own <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/196771713804180/" target="_blank">Mini Maker Faire</a> event on June 8th in Round Rock. So, although it will be a much smaller show I'll be able to enjoy some of the festivities and geekery. :)<br />

HAPPY FRIDAY! I had so much fun making the felt robot masks for Gabe's birthday I decided to expand our collection during my hiatus from shop work earlier this spring. They are really easy to make if your good with glue and/or a sewing machine. For a printable version of instructions click <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2C_jEK0IskBQWdFLXNZLXNPTjA/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

To start we picked out a few of bubs and my favorite animals and I drew up some patterns then scaled them to kiddo and adult sizes on my copier. If your not comfortable drawing your own patterns and know how to search you can find free patterns online or you can buy PDF patterns from Etsy artists. Click <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2C_jEK0IskBdlBpZnNCTTY2OTg/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE </a>for a free copy of my panda bear pattern. </div>

We had to test try them for size before cutting into the felt... :)</div>

After I got all our patterns drawn and to size I made an extra copy of each so I could cut out the overall animal pattern and all the little pieces for the layers. I then started marking and cutting the felt in all the different colors. I went with typical animal colors but you can get as creative with it as you want! As you can see I even coordinated my lunch while working with foxes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In addition to cutting the colored mask pieces I cut a second overall piece to double the felt strength and make a back so I could hide my elastic in between. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After I cut out all my pieces I set the second backing piece aside and used quick dry tacky glue (in moderation so it </span>doesn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> seep through the felt) to glue the smaller eye, ear, and nose pieces onto the larger mask. We double checked they fit and sized the elastic band to fit around the head at the temple. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After the glue dried I pin the elastic band about 1/2” to one inch on either side of the mask, roughly at the temples, then pin the backing; hiding the elastic between the two pieces. I just used simple brown and black threads in a straight stitch on my machine to finish off the masks. </span>If you prefer you can also hand stitch with embroidery thread. It works best to sew around the outer edge of the mask then stitch the smaller pieces in place as needed. At this point I also added extra felt and orange yarn in between the mask and backing on the lion to create a mane. </div>

<span lang="en-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If your feeling extra creative you can finish your mask off by hand stitching details to create textures, whiskers, patterns, etc. with different colored embroidery thread. I stitched whiskers on the lion and texture around the owl eyes as you can see below. I also made duplicate sizes in a couple of the animals so I could have fun too. :)</span></span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>

I have a total love-hate relationship with <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. I spend days at a time where I don't want to put my phone down then weeks where I just can't stand to look at another pin because I feel so overwhelmed (and sometimes bored with it). In this new world of <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>we as interior designers, crafters, moms, cooks, gardeners, adventurers, etc. feel pressured to make more, do more, be better, be super moms and Martha Stewart wannabees because they make it look so easy...right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling pressured to make stuff for upcoming baby showers, birthday parties, summer and the second baby on the way I've recently read some blogs and articles regarding the stress affects of Pinterest on moms. How we feel pressured to make everything and give our children huge, extravagant parties they don't need. Here are a couple that stood out: </div>

Even after reading all of this I still love (hate) Pinterest. I made fruit leather and jerky before the site ever existed; I've made baby toys and Christmas gifts from scratch for years; and I spent my childhood watching my mom go out of her way to put together elaborate holidays even when it was just the four of us. So as overwhelming as it can be sometimes, I am a visual person and Pinterest has allowed me to not only share my loves but find new ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a slow, hot summer ahead I decided to narrow my stress by creating a manageable DIY project list of my favorite pins then limiting myself to going on the website for the next couple months (I would just keep adding and adding...). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal was one page, 20ish projects that I could pick and choose from; accomplishing maybe one project a week this summer. Well, it turned into two pages and about 40 some projects when it was all said and done because there are so many! I picked out some personal projects I've been drooling over, some handmade Christmas and baby shower gifts, and some fun things to do with/for Gabe and new baby. I don't imagine I'll accomplish even half of them but its a nice reference to have them all in one list to pick and choose. Because its already terribly hot out I limited my gardening projects and I have a separate checklist of recipes I want to try as well. Although I consider myself very crafty and a decent cook some of these projects will probably end up on <a href="http://www.pinterstfail.com/">www.PinterstFail.com</a>.<br />
<br />
With each project I intend to post my accomplishments and failures here on the blog. I've posted a link to my entire DIY list below in case anyone wants to check out all my favorite 2012-2013 Pinterest projects and/or do some for yourself. :)<br />

After some intense photo shoots I'm loving my new photos and utilizing them wisely to make some spring web adds, marketing postcards and, for the first time ever, a wholesale catalog! I've taken more inspiration from my chalk art sign and updated my 2013 logo a bit to match the feeling of my overall look. You can find lots of fun photos on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RRDesign13" target="_blank">Facebook </a>page; postcards available at <a href="http://www.lostlittlethings.com/p/shop-local.html" target="_blank">shows </a>and I'll soon have a link to my catalog on my website but in the mean time you can email to request one. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In March 2013 I was accepted and became a RAW Artist for Austin. <a href="http://www.rawartists.org/about/what-is-raw" target="_blank">RAW: Natural Born Artists </a>is an independent organization of artists, for artists and by artists. Its a national organization currently operating in 54 cities across the US and Australia. In Austin they showcase artists every couple months at fabulous venues across town and of course, we all get featured profiles online with personal information, photos, videos and more. I showcased at The Belmont in April and had a great time meeting other artists and fans outside of my normal circles. Below you can see my set up (loved the more industrial look) and a cute video made by a fan. Also, if you click on the poster you can check out my artists profile at Rawartists.com. </div>

April 12-14th was a fabulous weekend at Market Revival, a handmade, vintage and farmers market put on by <a href="http://www.revivaltx.com/" target="_blank">Revival: Furniture, Gifts & Vintage</a> in Bee Caves. The event takes place a couple times a year typically in the fall and spring. There was a great article posted in the Austin Statesman <a href="http://www.statesman.com/news/entertainment/like-a-local-david-and-tara-camp/nXGcy/" target="_blank">HERE</a> that included a shout out to my shop and a bio of the shop owners Tara & David. I shared a co-op booth with these lovely ladies from <a href="http://www.austincraftriot.com/" target="_blank">Austin Craft Riot</a>...</div>

The title of this post says it all! Chalkboard art has been in trend for the last year or so but I can't get enough. My talented friend Kathy of <a href="http://kathyphantastic.com/" target="_blank">Kathyphantastic </a>made my adorable shop sign last fall and I get compliments at every show. So, I decided to take my obsession to another level and make goodies for my shop. Well myself, then my shop. :) I sought out some of my favorite quotes, tried to come up with a few myself and after narrowing it down I started with three quotes that center around love, crafting and adventure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After spending hours seeking out and downloading fun fonts, dingbats and graphics I started in on some basic typography that would fit in with my hoop wall art collection. Several variations later I came up with three styles I liked the best and settled on them for my new spring collection. And here they are...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The inspiration for these designs came from chalk art but I wanted to take it to the next level and make something that was my own variation of the hand written art form. Since I already screen print it made sense to take that route. I started with some darker fabrics in 9" hoops to mimic the look of chalk art in a new, exciting way. So far they are a hit! </div>

I hope to add more quotes and screen print designs to my collection every year. I have a few more favorites already set aside for such an occasion. For now I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

New to my shop this spring! Mini Instagram postcards featuring my own photography! Two sizes available; 2" minis for gifts and 4x4" squares for sending love notes via mail. The four inch square cards also double as a gift because they make great mini prints for framing. Currently they are only available in person, at shows but I hope to have sets up online by this summer. The collection features lots of Austin/TX themed souvenir cards and many of my nature themed photography. More designs to come soon!</div>

As always I'm swamped with holiday shows and more busy then I like to be because I'd rather be baking and making holiday crafts this time of year. As busy as I've been I'm managed to squeeze in a few projects...</div>

1. Snowflakes made with lace from a torn table cloth (thrifted) and pieces of broken embroidery hoops I'd been saving. Scissors and a little hot glue and I'm in love!</div>

2. I haven't done this since I was a kid and its been all over Pinterest lately so I decided to make bubba hand & foot prints in salt dough for all the family. I also used cookie cutters to make the scraps into state shaped ornaments. You can find lots of recipe variations online but <a href="http://theimaginationtree.com/2011/06/salt-dough-footprint-keepsakes.html" target="_blank">HERE </a>is the one I used. </div>

3. My holiday masterpiece is this new woodland wall hanging. I took one of my wood round chalk boards from the shop and screen printed my vintage deer in white acrylic. Then I used a paint pen to draw on the holiday banner and snowflakes. My penmanship could use some work but I like it so much I might make them to sell next year. </div>

I had so much fun at Blue Genie last year I was very grateful to get in again this year but with my own eight foot space. I tried to set up a fun space that reflects my shop's personality. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Shop my booth and many other amazing artists the entire month of December up until 10pm Christmas Eve. Details in the flyer below!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Halloween this year my husband decided he wanted a Jedi outfit for his office costume contest so we decided the whole family would go Star Wars. Knowing I had a bunch of left over linen and brown felt from another project I decided to challenge myself, using only stuff around the house and a $20 budget for all three costumes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: left;">Jedi Youngling</b>: Gabe's outfit consisted of a wrap around linen undershirt, a sleeveless felt robe, my old belt, an emergency light from t</span>he car as a light saber, and booties made of daddy's old socks and stripes of felt. Super easy and cost under $5. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Obi Wan Kenobi</b>: Wade's outfit took the biggest part of the budget because I purchased, on sale, some light weight brown fleece to make his robe nice and fitted. A black undershirt, linen wrap, belt, boots, silver hairspray, and light saber made for another easy, cheap costume. Not to mention my boys looked pretty awesome! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Princess Leia</b>: I'm still missing some files here and there from my computer crashing so I don't have a great one of my costume but it was pretty basic. I had a white sleeveless dress already so I whipped up a cowl neck and long, draped sleeves to wear on top with this belt and matching grey boots. The belt is made of felt, white foam scraps and left over google eyes spray painted silver; all items I had on hand from old projects. Because my hair is short I made a head piece by gluing stripes of felt left over from Gabe's robe into buns then onto a headband.<br />
<br />
Besides making a surprise appearance at daddy's work, Gabe also dressed up and we all went to Cedar Park to play in the Halloween games, bouncy houses and see the petting zoo and fire trucks. He was pretty pooped after carrying around R2D2 (aka "ot") around all day.<br />
