Oh What a Busy Day! Also... Personalized Cup Cozies!
Hey everyone!
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!

Mermaids in October!
Mermaids, people
Could we have picked a LESS fall-ish, halloween-ish, thing to introduce in autumn? No, we could not! LOL!!! But you can't blame us for thinking about bathing beauties year-round since we live in the Sunshine State, Florida. Mermaids are popping up everywhere, so we decided to let them pop up at Snookums & Me, too!!!
We have finally busted out 4 beautiful mermaids for sale. Not kidding... BUSTED out. These pretties take some serious busting to make. Time. Patience. Skill. Mom's (obsessive? compulsive?) attention to detail & craftsmanship really shows when you hold one of these dolls. They are a substantial size and weight because we generously stuffed them in quality fiberfill (we've found that if you don't stuff them firm, after some time they get way too floppy).
Here they are:
I love that each doll is unique. It's fun to think that they have their own personality. In the creation process, they emerge as works of art... one-of-a-kind. One of my favorite things to do is photograph our new toys and after studying them for a minute or two, give them names and a story. :)
Anyways, these are the new mermaids. Some will be posted to our store within the next week or two. Even more are coming... in time. ;)

It's August! We're Baaaaack!
We're sewing sewing sewing! We didn't get much done while we were away... vacation was WAY too relaxing. ;) Today was all about robots. We cut out 7 new ones in our old favorite minky colors (red, yellow, green, purple) and new colors (blue, aqua) that Brook bought in LA. Tomorrow Brook is working on new rag quilts and lovey blankets and Joan is sewing up some pretty plushie mermaids... and in the following days... well, just wait and see.
Our store will reopen tomorrow. Yippie!!! It was nice to have a little break, but we are definitely ready to get busy again. Our creativity is bursting! Every time we talk about Snookums & Me we come up with a new idea for something to make. We are having fun with our new creations and look forward to filling the shop with them as the days pass. Hopefully we can sew as fast as Santa's Elves so our shop will be filled in time for Holiday shopping. LOL. :)
Oh hey, if you're curious, just a little FYI: the way Etsy works (especially for newer shops like ours), we will never put a whole bunch of new things in the shop on the same day. We find that spreading out our new items over time to generates more views and attention for our items. :)
