And what a happy week it is—the kids are off, it’s wet and rainy here, and lots of goodies to play with from jessicasprague.com. Inspiration really IS everywhere right now.
Here are some projects I’ve been working on through the month of November.
In the past, I’ve created a few of these cozies for my daughter and friends using traditional fabric following this very fine tutorial from The House on Hill Road blog. Great tutorial. This time, I decided to print some Cosmo Cricket Early Bird Candy Candy and Early Bird Paper onto some Fabric Stick. I then cut out the pattern, attached it to some felt by stitching, and then followed the above tutorial. This one is for ME!
Early Bird Coffee Cozy Supplies List
Early Bird Candy Candy and Early Bird Paper Pack by Cosmo Cricket at jessicasprague.com.
Other supplies used: Fabric Stick, red felt sheets, fusible fleece, sewing machine thread, button, and felt flower.
For the above I got to use the Sentimental Cricut Cartridge with DesignStudio software to design the pattern for the card. I’m still loving the software. If you have a Cricut and don’t have the software, trust me, you should get it.

Jackson, CA, doesn’t get much snow—maybe a couple of times each wintery season—but that’s about it. Last December, the snow actually stuck for about four days. Two of those days were snow days for the kids from school. I took the above pictures of our little ones enjoying their winter wonderland—even our pom-chi pup, Dixie, got caught in the action. You can barely see her next to Gwen making angels in the snow. I hope it happens again this year. We also took those few days and decorated the inside of our house for Christmas, made cookies and drank hot chocolate, and just enjoyed the magic of the snow and the spontaneity of it all--TOGETHER.

Do your little ones ever express this giddy emotion from time to time? Well, ALL of mine do. In fact, it’s part of the genes because I do it, too. I’m tickled, no giddy, that I captured it finally for at least one of my children. For the above layout, I included the definition of the word “Giddy” under the chipboard Cricut cut of the word. I love matching a picture to its definition.
