Sep, 09Humpday Tutorial | Skull Candy Boxes
I know I already shared a Humpday Tutorial with you today, but I simply couldn’t resist sharing this with all of you either! It’s another idea from the Martha Stewart team and they’re Skull Treat Boxes! I haven’t tried them yet, but they seem super easy and they would be great to do with the kids. They are egg shaped containers that you paint white and then cut out black crepe paper for the features (the face templates can be found here). Then you fill them with treats and then you’re done! Easy, right? I was thinking though, instead of printing out templates and using crepe paper, why not save some trees, money, and time by drawing the faces on with marker or paint. Well, I’ll let you get to it! If you try this before me, please let me know how they turn out. Heck, even email me the pictures of yours and I’ll put them on here! Enjoy!

Sep, 09Willow Blanket | by Chickiedee
I call this blanket Willow. The colorful top is 100% cotton and the soft minky back is 100% polyester. It measures apox 34″ x 34″ and is great to cuddle up with. The fabric was pre-washed in perfume free and dye free detergent so there will be no funky shrinkage here! The best part of this blanket is that it’s light weight, yet super warm for those chilly months ahead. You can find it here at Chickiedee! Enjoy!

Jun, 09Buy Handmade | I Took The Pledge
Aren’t you so proud of me?! I just took the Pledge to Buy Handmade and of course sell it too on behalf of Chickiedee! I think it’s pretty cool that people support local artists and designers by buying handmade products. Mass production can be cool, but handmade is less wasteful and better for the environment. Plus, things look way cuter when made by hand anyway! So it’s a win-win situation! Will you take the Pledge?
