Handmade Fav: Little House Of Crafting

In an effort to promote handmade this holiday season, I am featuring some of my fav handmade shops. Please check out these amazing shops and support handmade!

Today's handmade fav featured shop is one of my super favs! I am addicted to all her cute geeky products! I've bought several of my friends and family little stocking stuffers from Toni's shop this holiday season, and I can't wait to buy more!

What is it that you make/sell?

I make pinback buttons and perler bead art. I also have my pinback buttons available in magnet form. 

If you don't know what perler bead art is, here is an awesome example:

What is something unique about your shop, process, or how you got started?

I ensure that my perler bead art is of the highest quality. I take the time to iron the pieces until the holes in the beads are closed. This amount of time varies depending on the color of the bead; however, I want to insure that customers are receiving a highly durable product.

Perler beads are super small, and I think it takes some amazing patience and skill to make these rad designs. I also think Toni must be a genius to come up with all these patterns!

What is your favorite product and why is it the perfect gift?

My favorite product my Keep Calm and Write On button. It's the perfect gift as November is National Novel Writing Month. 50% of the sale price will be dontated to NaNoWriMo on December 1st so everybody wins!

Even though NaNoWriMo is already over this year, take a look at all her other amazing pinbacks! I am a huge fan of her Harry Potter and Adventure Time themed ones! Toni also take custom orders! I have so many I want her to make for me!

This is my bag with my Luna Lovegood quote and my Lumpy Space Princess pinbacks! 

I also wear them....

Anything else you would like to add Toni?

Wizard Love

I'm sure many of you have seen this by now, but I was just thinking of how cute this is. My husband sent this to me a few years ago when I was still working at the mall and having a rough day, because he's the best husband ever. November is the month where we marathon all the Harry Potter movies, and sometimes I try to re-read all the books.

My husband's boss just got back from Harry Potter World, and he did not know a thing about Harry Potter. I think that is the strangest thing I've ever heard! He must be that guy that lives under a rock....I want to go to HPW so bad, or just move close enough to go everyday.

My favorite HP character is Luna Lovegood, which I've talked about before. She's probably my second spirit animal behind Bubbles from the PowerPuff Girls. I also love love Neville, especially in the end where he kicks major evil booty!

I can't wait to share Harry Potter with Amelia! It's going to be so fun reading the books with her and watching the movies (when she's old enough).

Who is your favorite HP character?

Saturday Style Moodboard

This weeks mood board is dedicated to Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I love how she's quirky, weird, confident, and could care less about what anyone thinks. She's happy to be who she is. Oh, and she has great style! She is always one of the Halloween costumes I have on my list each year.

Something Yummy: I started making a healthy breakfast, but it tastes like a cookie.
Recipe: Old Fashion Quick Oats (follow directions) I substituted Vanilla Almond Milk for water. After you cook the oats + a tablespoon of coconut sugar + a tablespoon of flax seed meal.

I need to name this recipe....

Something I'm Reading: The Sleep Lady's Good Night, Sleep Tight. I wish I actually had time to get past the first chapter

Something New: I dyed my hair....brown...I know a natural color. My hair needs a break from all the maintenance that comes with fun colors/bleaching.

Something I'm watching: Besides watching Once and Wonderland, I've been addicted to Don't Trust the B@#$% in Apartment 23. It's hilarious and I love Krysten Ritter and James Van Der Beek!

That's What She Said Sunday

I am reading an ebook I found on goodreads of a continuation of the Harry Potter series that follows his son James. James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing by G. Norman Lippert, is the first in the series of 4. There also seemed to be several side short stories. Kinda makes me want to read Harry Potter all over again. So check it out if you've got the time and we can discuss it over coffee.
