Little Bird

This little bird ornament comes in pillow size too! She's hand-silkscreened on white cotton and appliqued to hot pink cotton. Gold ric rac completes the picture. If you ask me Blue Thimble's baby bird needs some friends to fly with. In any case, this makes a great gift or good luck charm. And can't you just imagine a flock flying over baby's crib!

Stitching Postcards

These are so clever! Stitch the routes you’ve traveled and voila -- a beautiful crafty memory. Great for inspiration boards, scrapbooks, and invitations. Or send to a traveling companion as a special momento of your trip together. I’m going to use them for invitations to a very special gathering -- slightly embellished -- of course! Find them at uncommongoods.com

Yummy Thimbles

These flexible thimbles mold to your fingers and come in a range of yummy candy colors. You can find them at The Quilt Bus and Repro Depot.

Mochi Bunny

Craft Current has a mascot! We rescued Mochi Bunny several days ago and he's been a joy. Mochi Bunny is a 4-5 month-old Holland Lop who has already taken over the office -- yes, he's an office bunny (and a house bunny, although he does have a hutch outside to visit several times a day). Mochi is learning to use a litter box very quickly! He hasn't misbehaved at all; he will have to stop eating the dog food though . . .
Now for some inspired bunny crafts . . . let me see . . .

Crafty Retro Coasters

Using a large round cookie cutter, trace six circles onto a sheet of cork from the craft store (see resource page of Craft Current). Cut circles. Trace more circles onto felt (preferably wool felt) and cut those out (make sure they are slightly larger than the cork circles if you want the felt to show) using pinking shears or fabric shears. Place stencil of your choice onto cork circle and stencil with acrylic paint, changing brushes for each color used. Once the paint is dry, glue cork circles to felt circles and you’ve got a great gift for someone special. This project is easy enough for a child with a little adult supervision. For a unique and more meaningful gift, have your child freehand paint onto the cork. I love that look even more than my original paisley stencil. Have fun!
