Hello December. HELLO SALE!

I can't believe December is here. Times are busy as we prepare for the holidays around here. I love the holidays. There are so many of them for us and our birthdays so December keeps us busy. To help with your holidays I am having a sale in my etsy shops! 20% off your purchase from baking vinyl  or baking vinyl over here with code FB1210. Good until 12-4.  I am adding new items every day so check back often or I can create a custom designed cuff for you, just ask.

Happy Hanukkah! 

The Mommy Pages Part IV

Toys, especially for your infant, are a matter of opinion.We try desperately to stay away from plastic, but it is hard to explain it to the wonderful people who love our little one so much and want to shower her with gifts. Here are a couple that really got the attention of our Little Bean.

What is that you ask. It is a Whozit and your baby will love it even though it is not the cutest toy. This was the first toy our Little Bean paid any attention to. 

Hoot Hoot, Decorative Nursery Mobile from lollipopmoon on Etsy

Mobiles are a lovely addition to your nursery and your baby will enjoy gazing at it above his or her changing table or crib. Please take care: mobiles are solely intended as decorative pieces rather than toys for children. Please make sure to adjust the location of the mobile out of your children's reach and as the child learns to stand please adjust the mobile again.

I already mentioned Sophie. Isn't she cute? And she is made from 100% all natural rubber.

Natural teething toys are great. We tried to stay away from plastic as much as possible. Another thing that helped Little Bean with teething was frozen bagels. They just worked for us but there are other alternatives like these mesh fresh food feeders which can be found at the drug store or grocery store

But honestly what Little Bean likes to play with best.... our pots and pans, tupperware, and sadly our cell phones and tv remote. But I don't recommend letting your little one play with your cell phone or tv remote. In fact I have already had to replace one cell phone after Little Bean shorted mine out.

She also goes crazy for her books, but I will save that for another post.

Blue Vinyl

I love colored vinyl. It just makes my heart go pitter patter when I come across some, I almost don't want to add any imagery and just leave them blank they are so cool.

The month of December whizzed by and I am now scrambling to finish up the final touches on some presents. I spent my weekend relaxing in an attempt to rid myself of this flu before my parents come to visit for the holiday. At work I am tying up loose ends before my mini vacation, today is my only day in NYC this week :) Everything will come together and now I might be able to focus on some new projects for the new year. I am very excited about that.

By the way turns out that the Punk Rock Flea Market was Postponed until after the holidays! So stay tuned I will let you know the new date and location as soon as we find out.

Today I wanted to feature some of my fellow local Jersey Shore artists from etsy.

Enjoy and have a Happy Holiday!

catching up

I am still sick but since I am home I have been trying to catch up on well, everything!
I started some new projects, wrapped up some old ones, and continue on with the usual.

Check out these new coasters I just finished up. They are made from recycled cds.




I also got a chance to finally scan in all those negatives from my holga and horizon.
I got some great shots. I love the effects from the expired film.
