Such madness has found its way to the headquarters of one of my favorite handmade supporters, Etsy. Last Monday I found myself at the usual Etsy craft night decorating some wonderful little teacups and enjoying some good old tea and cookies. Needless to say that by the end of the night "I was as mad as a hatter."<div><br /></div><div>You can read all about it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/events/come-to-a-crafty-tea-party-at-etsy-labs-7308/">here</a>!</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8263527327925334093-2491594590087701974?l=stitchandplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stitch and Playhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03664422106650828617noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263527327925334093.post-30239552541582144722010-01-21T14:53:00.000-08:002010-01-21T15:03:48.027-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/S1jdTH0ePVI/AAAAAAAAADU/WXBNTlgqns0/s1600-h/cafe.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/S1jdTH0ePVI/AAAAAAAAADU/WXBNTlgqns0/s320/cafe.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429332671381519698" /></a><br />I took this photograph on my yearly holiday trip to Miami Beach to visit my parents. Looking for an early new years eve pick me up, we stumbled upon a very chic Cafe Bustelo coffee place in one of those very luxurious (not to mention expensive..) beach side hotels. I love how this wall was entirely covered with these great graphic cans. Perfect picture moment if you ask me. I must say, the wall made my cappuccino taste a lot better than I expected!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8263527327925334093-3023955254158214472?l=stitchandplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stitch and Playhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03664422106650828617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263527327925334093.post-56047863315688684672010-01-20T12:10:00.000-08:002010-01-25T15:21:46.711-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/S1dlVmHl6fI/AAAAAAAAAC0/QzbirpgXp4M/s1600-h/gocco1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/S1dlVmHl6fI/AAAAAAAAAC0/QzbirpgXp4M/s320/gocco1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428919297502472690" /></a>I have loved silkscreen for a long time now. Thats why my sister and I had to have the wonderful Gocco. This incredible mini silkscreen machine from in Japan is so fun to use. Not to mention, I have never able to keep ink off of my hands until I tried this useful little gadget! I highly recommend this for those who want to do silkscreen on a small scale and want to be able to do it at home with no big fuss.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/S1dmmB6eCtI/AAAAAAAAADM/tWfiAzMnCOg/s400/gocco2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428920679353158354" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8263527327925334093-5604786331568868467?l=stitchandplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stitch and Playhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03664422106650828617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263527327925334093.post-62142016942293133312009-12-08T10:27:00.000-08:002009-12-08T10:32:27.451-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/Sx6bNizoZAI/AAAAAAAAACc/Rk4oJqS5Nbw/s1600-h/2009+Handmade+Holiday+Craft.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8Pa3iIm7A7M/Sx6bNizoZAI/AAAAAAAAACc/Rk4oJqS5Nbw/s320/2009+Handmade+Holiday+Craft.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412934459129881602" /></a><br />Check this out!
