Good morning! I'm busy working right now, guzzling down my morning mug of coffee while the kids literally bounce off the walls... and couch... and every other bounce-able surface. lol. Pretty soon I'll announce that it's time to go to the library and we'll head out into the Florida heat and humidity. On the way to the library, we're stopping by Grandma's house to pick up the two robots she just completed. I'll bring them home this afternoon and photograph them, edit the photos, and list them in our shop!
Speaking of the library, this is our new favorite book:
The kids and I read it every day. It's such a great book! The illustrations are so detailed and full of delightful things. You could stare at a page for a very long time. I love books like that. Very inspiring and full of color!! Is it just me, or are children's books not as interesting as they used to be? I find myself seeking out vintage books for my kids, the ones I remember, because they seemed to ignite the imagination so much more.
These types of books are just one of the ways I get creative juices flowing. Recently, I stitched up a batch of unique cup sleeves... or cozies, or insulators... whatever you call them. They are cute! And functional, too. I made them to fit a variety of cup and bottle sizes. The straight-sided sleeves are best for bottles or sippy cups. The ones with an elastic enclosure are better for cups that flare outwards, like coffee cups and sippy cups with that shape.
The coolest thing about these cozies is that they have a clear vinyl pocket where you can slide a photo (of your child, a pet, a family member, a friend) or you can write your name or a message on a slip of paper and display it there. These are great for kids cups. It dresses them up and provides identification for situations when labeling a cup is important, like church nursery, playdates, or daycare.
Check 'em out:
You can grab them in our shop: Cup Cozy Sleeves at Snookums & Me
Happy Thursday!
