Have You Ever Gifted a VIP?

December just started and you can already smell Christmas in the air! I had a few orders from my Shop and had a lot of fun crocheting, sewing, wrapping... it's the best time of the year!!

Thinking about presents... have you ever sent a gift to a famous person?..a so called VIP? I'm asking because..I did! A few months ago I created a cozy inspired by Rachael Ray. I love her TV shows {the one on Food Network, whenever I can watch in people's houses with cable, and her daily show}. I sent it to her, well, actually to the Studio where she works...and... I never got any answer. :( 

So, I have no idea if it ever reached her hands. Probably not. Oh well! I tried, and I can still imagine that she has it and uses it everyday, sipping her coffee in the morning. Who knows... ;)

If you are curious to see what I sent her... here it is:

I was very lucky to meet her 9 years ago {befooore all her big shows!} while she was shooting an episode of her show "40$ a day" in Denver. I could talk to her and she signed one of her cooking books.. I have a collection of them! 

Do you have any experience with VIPs? I would love to hear them!!!

That's all from me!...for now...

Aqua Love

Aqua.. what a beautiful color! I'm waiting everyday for my Mr. Mail-Man to bring me some aqua colored yarn that I recently ordered online. I need it to make my "Ladybug in the Clouds" cozies. It's the yarn that I use the most! So, while waiting I decided to look for some beautiful and inspiring Aqua colored items on the web... let's see...

Nice shoes!

Nike Shoes

My husband would never wear this tie... but the color is just too pretty!

How about this lovely Wedding Favor box? it reminds me of Tiffany..

Cozy Giveaway ♥

One of my favorite books is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It's such a beautiful novel, full of suspense, romance, drama... I think you should read it too!! 

Different movies were also made out of this story.. the one I'm watching right now {I'm super cozy in my bed on a rainy day...} is this one, the 1996 version:

I have it on DVD and I watched it so many times... I'm never tired of it and right now I'm in the mood of watching it... is it maybe because of the gloomy clouds outside? At the same time I'm crocheting my Ladybug on a Rainy Cloud COZY! Perfect Combination! :)

Oh! I almost forgot!... I'm in another wonderful giveaway!! Please go check out my Guest Post and Giveaway HERE!! I'm giving away this Coffee Cup Cozy:

Stay Cozy and Warm!!!

My Coffee Etsy Finds ♥

Today's post is linked up to a very nice blog that I recently started to follow: Pointing Up  . 

We are going to share our love for coffee.. I couldn't not participate..as I am one of those who cannot live without Coffee!! I had already posted about it a few months ago, teaching the way I make a delicious Cappuccino.. {you can find it here}.  Every morning I have to have my huge cup of Caffe'Latte.

So, I decided to share a few of my "Coffee Etsy Finds" {I love the Etsy Finds' newsletter!! I'm always hoping to be in it... who knows.. maybe one day..}. 

I will start with my last creation.. my newest Cozy! The Ladybug on a Rainy Cloud cozy. It's still pretty hot here in California, but I know that the rainy days are getting very close....

Ladybug on a Rainy Cloud Cozy

I cannot resist this coffee-pot.. the color.. the enamel.. the 50's look.. I'm a big fan of vintage!

Vintage Coffee Pot

This Art-Wall speaks for itself... :)

Coffee Art Print

There are so many cute rings all over Etsy!! I think I would wear it if I had one!! ♥

 

Coffee Cup Ring

And then... espresso cups! They are not that easy to find in the USA. These are from Portugal. I like the artistic style and the pretty colors...

Pretty Espresso Cups

Well, I think that's all.. and it's time to go drink another coffee to have the energy to finish all my chores!! :)

xoxo,

P.S.

Anybody can link-up! Just follow the instructions here. :)

my Cherry Cupcake ♥

Deep in my thoughts.. in my mind that never stops thinking, creating, imagining something new to make.. a little Ladybug found a deliciously pink cupcake. It was love at first sight!! She crawled on top of the icing and ate the cherry, which became her clever disguise.. trying not to be noticed. :)
This is the story behind my new cozy: the CHERRY CUPCAKE LADYBUG. Bring it to Starbucks and it will make everybody turn their heads because of her cuteness!! ♥ I love the cotton I used for this cozy, it's incredibly soft..and the color is just adorable. I cannot resist pink!! I bought that yarn thinking that I would have made something cute out of it... well, I really hope you like it too!!!

Be My Valentine..

My vacation in Colorado is almost over. I will be back soon to sunny {but rainy at the same time} California. :)
While here I got inspired to create a new cozy for my shop.. for Valentine's Day, of course!!! It's the closest holiday, all the etsy shops and treasuries are already full of hearts and love themes.
I like this time of year, especially here in the States... not only because I'm a big fan of pink, red and hearts... In my country Valentine's Day is celebrated exclusively between boyfriend and girlfriend, while here everybody is involved! It's an occasion to show love and affection to the people close to you.. {am I right?}.. :)
I couldn't help but reading the history behind this day about Love. In Italy we call it "the Day of St. Valentine", it originally takes the name from a Saint who became a martyr in the ancient Rome. He was killed because he went against the Law by marrying christian couples. He gave his life for Love. So beautiful!
Well, to celebrate this feast I made a cute new item.. a Ladybug in Love cup cozy! I will share a picture with you, as well as a few other items among the many I like from different shops on etsy.

my Ladybugs...

I don't remember how I started to create my little Ladybugs.. probably because since I moved to California it became my favorite bug! My yard is always full of them, my children like to observe them, I love the feeling and tickling of their tiny legs walking on my arm, or hand. Sometimes we find them in the house! They are just cute bugs and are now part of my BUG ON A MUG collection of cozies!
The last one I made, after the success of my Ladybug in the clouds, is the Ladybug walking on the Moon.. the first is a "day-time cozy", so why not create a "night-time" one? :) Check it out and see if you like it!!
