New Wall Art- Office Edition

Living the cube life is NOT easy- at least not for me.  Especially back when we used to have all white walls- so dull.  Then the office was "redecorated" (read: splash some paint on the occasional accent wall, leave the ugly grey cubes and grey carpet that DO NOT match the new colors on the wall - this is what happens when you let engineers use their artistic abilities).  Now I sit in a grey cube and look at a tan (cough, cough baby poop brown) wall.  Sooo after a bajillion hours of staring at this stellar color combo, I decided it was time to make something to hang on the wall.  Something I enjoy looking at.  My setbacks were that I wanted it to be easy to hang and I wanted it to be FREE.  Voila, my photo hanger, made from hemp, ribbon and cardboard.  The hearts are actually made out of starbucks sleeves, I cut them out and pressed the corrugated sides onto a couple stamp pads to give it a burst of color.   




















I used some of the clothespins from my wedding that I had used to hang the escort cards to hang photos up- where did most of those go, anyway?  These 5 are all I have left… guess I’ll just have to make more!








Even though this photo hanger super easy to make, if you want to be lazy and order one of these, or a variation, look for them on my etsy store!  I can include the cute clothespins, too.  A nice way to jazz up any cube!

P.S. I’ll have more goodies to post later this week!!

xoxo, C

New Wall Art

We recently put up some photos from the wedding in our room.  I also used the banners from the wedding to make this cute dream sign above our bed.  I will be selling custom banners on etsy soon, so make sure to convo me if you want one made!!




















Also in news- hoping to get a new camera this week- no way I can posting to etsy with pics like these!!!  Any recommendations??

Hello World!

I have finally launched the Stitch the Sky blog, in hopes of VERY soon launching the Stitch the Sky etsy store!  So, in the words of my cousin Beth, keep those peepers peeled for handmade items that you can soon purchase from moi!  Today has been one of those days…. Where getting through work is just such a chore.  I am longing for time spent looking for new inspiration of spectacular craftiness.  I've even prepped my work area at home....
























Stay tuned for fun projects, photos of inspiration, and daily blurbs.  Since I'm sure only my besties are reading this, miss you!!  xoxo
