New! Poppy Cards & Other Things

New! Poppy Cards, originally uploaded by Sweet Moss.

Poor little neglected blog! Sorry I have been otherwise occupied. Since it has been a while, I do have a few things to share.

My first green thing is about to be released! I have a big of an obsession with green things (clothes, dishes, rugs, shoes) and the Sweet Moss line has felt somehow lacking with nothing green to represent my verde problemo. I have these new little 3.5 x 5 inch poppy cards going up for sale on etsy any minute now. I love this matcha green ink. You'd better believe the little Sweet Moss mushroom on the back of the card is uber cute in green.

I have done some work in my calendar/planner/journal (what do I call this thing?). My favorite part of these pages is the depth in the photo of the bird shape. It was such a happy accident.

Finally, my lotus card has been getting a lot of attention in the Etsy Treasuries. That's pretty nice! It is so fun to see how different people curate their lists. I found this Chai treasury particularly inspiring. I can almost smell the cardamom - or that could be the cardamom chocolate chip oatmeal cookies from last night. Either way, I love it!

Hellebores: not a disease

Hellebores Closeup, originally uploaded by Sweet Moss.

Today I had an interview with a local flower shop to help them get through the Mother's Day madness. I am loving these hellebores that everyone has in their gardens. They are so primitive and handsome. I am also love the luecodendron (the fuchsia "pine cones"), they remind me of the protea garden in Hobart, Tasmania.

I've also been hard at work on some digital collage sheets for Sweet Moss. I have two up for sale and another currently in the works. They are such a fun idea. I can't wait to get my hands on some iron-on transfers to use them myself. Maybe on a pillowcase? I've been using Inkscape to make them, which I am getting the hang of and highly recommend for those  without the funds for Illustrator.

Sunday Special

This morning I made a super cute etsy treasury of unicorns for my crazed little sister. You should check it out asap because it will expire Tuesday morning.

A new release

Today I turned over a new leaf for Sweet Moss, pattern selling! I have made many many of these weird little wormies, and now it is time to share the joy. If you have basic crochet skills and want to work on one check out the pattern in my etsy shop.
