Win a Custom Eco Coffee Sleeve!

I'm doing a giveaway in coordination with Monster Bites for a free Custom Eco Coffee Sleeve!  You get to choose what you want on your sleeve!  To enter, all you have to do is comment on this post and tell me - How do you like your coffee? - ... but be sure to sign in or enter your e-mail address so that I can get in touch with you if you are the winner.  Contest will end at 12 noon (EST) on Saturday and the winner will be chosen at random.

Here are a couple of sleeves to inspire you!

These sleeves are made from recycled materials!  The outer layer is made from fused plastic grocery bags... several layers of plastic bags are fused with a low heat to form one strong, solid material that both looks and feels like wrinkly leather.  The lining and patch are made from upcycled materials.  A vintage button and small elastic loop allow this sleeve to fit a variety of cup sizes...even cans!

For more info about my products and Eco Coffee Sleeves, please check out my Etsy Store :  soshesews.etsy.com

So...


How do you like your coffee?

Stuff I have... and LOVE!

Along with 2010's awesomeness, every Sunday I will be bringing to you an installment of something in my possession which I absolutely adore.  Pay attention because some times you might find a neato crafting tool that I cannot live without, maybe a thrift store find, and sometimes I'll show you my latest Etsy or craft fair purchase.

So... on with the first of many!

 

This adorable robot painting is done by Rebecca Scott.  She has such an adorable style... I love it!  The mustache is actually a piece of thin foam... it makes you want to touch it!  Ben and I got this from her last Fall at the Indie Craft Experience and have it proudly displayed in our Hallway-o-Art.  She also paints the most adorable mermaids and dinosaurs!  Please check out her work!   Click here to see more from Rebecca Scott at her website!

2010 is going to be AWESOME!

There's just so much...

... so much to tell you my dear bloggy.

First, let's start with what we've missed.

1. The biggie... I got married! I've been screaming about it (almost everything was DIY, of course) for months, and you can check out my Flickr if you're interested in the whole scoop... but here's a tiny dollop to satisfy your cravings (Photos are done by the very talented Andrew Thomas Lee... please refer to him for complete amazingness!).


2. Second, business has been great! I'm starting to learn that for me it has more to do with keeping up with the demand, and being productive every day.

3. You can now find my goodies locally in Atlanta at Beehive Coop!
It's been really fun being there so far! So many talented designers in a one-stop shop! Check it out!

And now for the Future News!

1. I've got TONS of new designs in my shop now! Foxes and Whales and Artwork... OH MY!

2. Now that I am a genu*wine* arteeeeesst, I must have an art show to launch my new work! The month of March, you will find my newest line of art on show at Octane Coffee here in the great Westside Arts District in Atlanta!

3. And of course, no awesome year would be complete for me without major plans for ...

...CRAFT FAIRS!

This year's gona be a bit strange (Indie Craft Experience announced this month that they will not be having a summer show... boooooooo! hisssss!). ICE will be missed greatly... but I'd really like to try my very hardest to do one of the Renegade Craft Fairs. It would involve a lot of traveling... a huge expense (the closest one is in Chicago)... but I think I would kick butt there, so we'll see if it pans out.

As usual, you will find me at least once a month (as long as the gettin's good) at some local craft fair. Follow me on Twitter get the latest updates about what craft fairs I'll be doing!

xoxo

Love you!
