Here’s a little felt shamrock tutorial for you. It’s a super quick project that there’s still time to make, even though St. Patrick’s day is only a couple days away. I used a felted wool sweater as my material because I have an abundant supply but any felt will work. You can sew or glue [...]

3/14/12 Update: You can sew these too! Pattern can be found here. Meet Hungry Bunny, Pretty Bunny, Woodland Bunny and Love Bunny! These cute little egg-shaped bunnies are my latest creations. They’ve arrived just in time for Easter and these four are already available in my shop. I’m imagining them decorating springtime tables, getting nestled [...]

Two new friends showed up here yesterday. I have so many little pieces of felted cashmere and wool sweaters that I finally decided to use up a few. Sairshe picked out the colors and I first whipped up this cute little owlish bird. I used this simple free pattern here. It’s just 2 triangles and [...]

Is that what you’re wondering? Why did I change my business name this summer and how did I settle on Sesame Seed Designs? When I first started selling things on Etsy, nearly 2 years ago, I was focusing on selling hats for babies. My hats are still a big part of what I sell but [...]

I’ve been working on several custom orders lately and have been really enjoying them. I like the challenge of making new designs but even more, I like taking customer’s ideas and turning them into something pretty! Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to do things for myself but I try to squeeze it in. [...]

I have a brand new website! I decided that I need a more official web presence so I bought my own domain name – ThinkingMamaDesigns.com- a while back. I’ve finally finished building my website (with lots of help from Mike) and it’s actually up on the web! My blog will stay here for now but [...]

Oh spring, I do love thee. There’s nothing like a walk in the woods, or just in the neighborhood, to find some gorgeous crafty inspiration. Why not start in my own backyard?’ I do wage war on dandelions each spring but when it comes down to it, it’s hard for the scientist in me to [...]

I’ve been neglecting my blog. I have a lot of projects in the works and my job has been keeping me busy- not to mention little Sesame who is learning a new word a day now and is often too busy talking to go to sleep. Here’s what’s been going on in the last month. [...]

Are so cute and I want one! I might get a baby French angora on Saturday! Some details need to be worked out, like where to put him/her since right now Oliver is on our back porch and there’s no room for another bunny cage there. Mike says he can figure something out so I [...]

I made all these cute bird and leaf pins for this month’s Little Black Box. Like all of my other etsy creations, they’re made of recycled wool sweaters and hand embroidered by me. They have 2 layers so they’re soft and squishy and just adorable, if I may say so myself. I loved holding a [...]
