featured artist - HeathersHobbies


Tell us a little about yourself. My Name is Heather McCall. I am a 36 year old stay at home Mom of 3 boys. I own a small Etsy shop named Heathershobbies. I crochet baby items such as: shoes, sweaters, blankets and more.

How did you become interested in creating? I started crocheting when I was 9 years old. I have been hooked ever since. I really started creating when I was pregnant with my 2nd Child. That’s when I wanted to really learn patterns. I would make baby sweaters and booties. I made each one of my children baby blankets.

What is your inspiration? My Inspiration is my grandmother. She taught me to crochet and knit. I would have never learned if it was not for her. She passed away a couple of years ago. I have her old crochet hooks which I use as a memory of her.

What is your favorite piece you've made and why? My favorite piece is the little button loafers. I found that pattern through an Etsy seller named Sylver. I thought they were the cutest things ever. They are now my best sellers.

If you're interested in one of HeathersHobbies pieces, take a peek at her etsy shop.

shopping for pretend


Today's topic: pattern! I love the idea of mixing up different patterns to create a fun and unique outfit. And what's better than primary colors to top it off? This red, white, and blue top would be perfect for the Fourth of July, and I'm loving the tiny flower vintage flats. With this nautical tote, you're ready for your day out!

Shopping for Pretend


Maddy's Wish List


After discovering sadieolive's Etsy shop yesterday, I've been in a very vintage mood. Pretend shopping online always seems to soothe my not-so-skinny-right-now blues.


Lirola
Spring Dress With Secret Garden Belt Bundle Listing

This dusty rose handmade dress with its soft drapes makes me want to pull out my lace gloves for a vintage tea party. Maybe when I'm not pregnant, I'll be able to fit in this.



This dainty little necklace would nestle perfectly between the swooping collar of the dress.



Not that I wear a size 6 (more like a 9 and a half...on a good day), but I just LOVE these shoes! I've always been a fan of whichgoose's shop, and now that she's added some shoes just makes me want to follow up on her posts more.

Pink Marshmallow

This gorgeous clutch is lined in silk and matches the dress perfectly! Not only that, but it's on sale!
