Teacher Gifts!


Getting ready for shows is fun, but totally exhausting!! :)

Teachers gifts are big on the list so here are a few I have been working on. I'm slowly getting them up on Etsy, but if you want some, come see me at Darnaby! (or email me!)


  • Teacher "sneezies" - what teacher couldn't use tissues with all those little germy kids around? lol Lots of fun fabrics this year!

  • Book Baubles - these are great for teachers, stocking stuffers for your sister or even co-workers! Use them to organize your bills, keep your spot in your fav book or magazine, cookbooks, endless, fun and pretty!

  • Teacher "Pull-ups" as I like to call them. Chocolate cards .. what could be better? I've stuck colored cardstock in them in the past to include a small message, but the generic ones I make can also be great stocking stuffers, bday gifts, or just because!

  • And something new ... notepads! I saw these little beauties on a blog last year and thought they were adorable!! (thank you Michelle Wooderson!) The possibilities are endless with these tho!

So, maybe that will get your wheels turning for teachers gifts. I've also been working on fobs! I LOVE FOBS! I can't stop making them. I love pulling out some new fabrics and making a few fobs from them.. ahhhhh. SOOO MUCH FUN!!

Enjoy! And don't forget your teachers this season! They teach your kiddos!! :)

I am a Robot - Do as I say......


It would be an understatement if I said that robots were a part of my daily life right now. Isn't it funny how boys, specifically toddler boys, change their likes and dislikes? Every week its something new. Cars, trucks, Nemo, Mickey Mouse, Transformers, airplanes, now Robots!

J & D helped me design these shirts. J loves his. We alternate between robots and monsters now. Who knows what will be next! :)

I'll be adding them to Etsy. Etsians seem to love the robots lately, so, seems like a good place to launch them. If I get my act together, I may have them at the Darnaby Arts & Crafts Show (Saturday, Dec 6th, 9-5 - Union HS on Garnett). The Tulsa Trendy Treasures group will be there! Be sure to stop by and say hello!

Let it Snow!

Moving to the south was a definate change of season for us - meaning, the seasons don't change like they did up north! I miss a long fall and all the brightly colored leaves. Dare I say that I miss the snow? Sometimes there is snow here, but its generally in January and definately not the 4-10 inches that we are used to! haha. I'm not saying its a bad thing. During tornado season, I would definately take a Buffalo snowstorm over a tornado warning!

So, in the spirit of the change of seasons and cousins in the North already preparing for chilly nights and snow, I have new toddler tees!
Available on red or navy long sleeves and in toddler sizes (2t-5t). They are made of super soft terry and black cordoroy eyes & mouth. Durable and kid tested. Jake has already started wearing his.

I have them already in my Etsy shop, but will be adding them to MHP this week.

Just looking at them makes me want to curl up on the couch with some hot cocoa & marshmellows!! :) Mmmmmmm

Lulu's Sweet Shop - October 25th 9 - 5


The Tulsa Trendy Treasures group will be at Lulu's this Saturday! If you are local or in town, stop by for a cookie, lunch or just to browse some great gift ideas! Lulu's is in the cute plaza at 81st & Sheridan (8005 S. Sheridan Rd, Tulsa). They offer delicious pastries, cookies to die for and a wonderful lunch menu! Everything is from scratch, the entire shop is peanut free. She makes her vendors certify that all the ingredients she uses in the handmade goods and the ready for sale items she stocks are from peanut-free facilities.
The TTT group will be doing a drawing for a gift basket packed with fab goodies! Stop by and say hello!!

So much fun..


Well, we survived the Harvest Moon Craft Show! It was great fun. The economy may be in the toilet, but people are still thinking of Christmas, and still wanting to shop. That is a good thing. Next the TTT girls have a small show at Lulu's Sweet Shop (for those of you who are in Tulsa - its 81st & Sheridan on Saturday, October 25th. She has awesome chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmm.)

Art on Main in Jenks is also coming up, so, now I'm working on stocking up the boutique. Speaking of... the Spotted Umbrella moved!!!!! Just up the block.. well, kinda mid-block. But maybe that means they'll get more foot traffic.

I'll be updating the website this week (wishful thinking) to include the monsters! They seem to be a big hit! Yippeee!!! And just for fun.. a picture of my little monster :)
