Shoutout Sunday || Gussy Sews

What's one thing I'm more addicted to than fabric? BAGS! I'll admit, while I can totally appreciate a cute Coach, D&B, Prada or Louis Vuitton bag there's something about a handmade bag made from really cute fabric that is simply irresistible. And my favorite handmade bag designer is by far Gussy Sews. *Yeow!!*



Is this not a mothers dream? Diapers, wallet, wipes, checkbook (yes, I still carry one of those!), tablet, small toys, snacks, day planner, ect, ect, ect! You can fit EVERYTHING in one bag. And I love the funky mix of colors and patterns.





And if large and in charge isn't quite your speed how about these little zipped pouches? Same funky prints downsized to fit all of your smaller items.



       

Chunky cowl anyone? These look so cozy!

But outside of all of the crazy amazing things that she makes I also love all of the crazy amazing things that she does.

Back in October she published a great series on her blog "Grow Your Handmade Business in 31 Days". If you own your own handmade business this series is a must read. I've revisited many of these posts over and over again because she offers such great ideas and suggestions. There are tons of other great posts on her blog for handmade business owners and blog owners alike.


Gussy is also amazing for her commitment to an organization called Compassion and her work with children in Tanzania.

1.3.2013 Thursday Roundup

It's time for this weeks Thursday Roundup featuring products and ideas I am loving. Lets get started!!



First up we have these adorable peg dolls. And who doesn't love peg dolls?!?! What I really love about these dolls is that while I'm sure little girls will love them, little boys will to! These are made by a company called Bubba's Basics and they specialize in making cool handmade items just for boys because- let's be honest- handmade stuff for girls is everywhere. Which set is your favorite?

Toy Story

Ninjas

Star Wars

How cute are these dino/gragon tails? These come from Jessica at Running With Scissors. She even includes a tutorial for creating your own. 

Ever been at a loss for cool wall are for your little one? Imperial Cabana has you covered. These prints come delivered on high quality card stock ready for framing and hanging. So what's your style?

And finally....these boots! *SWOON* I saw them on the Macy's website a few weeks ago and couldn't get them out of my mind. I may (or may not) have ordered a pair earlier this week and anxiously await the mailman's arrival. One of my goals for 2013 is to bring the wardrobe of a certain work at home mom into the 21st century instead of stuck in 2004. And I think this is my first step. They are on sale through Saturday, so go grab a pair! 

Ok. well, that's it until next week! See you then!
