AHHH I forgot to tell you guys that I was book of the week  at Cut Out + Keep! Click on over to check out a Q&A with me!

You can also enter here to win a copy of my book. You have until May 9. Good luck!

One of my readers requested that I post links to stuff that I find inspiring, and I just Tweeted about an Instagram feed I really like, so this felt like a good time for a lil blog post!

The Happy Mail – Instagram

The Happy Mail is a company out of the UK that delivers cute boxes of candy and baked goods to you. They seem to have a “more is more” philosophy to decorating which is way up my alley, plus their IG feed is just so cute and colorful!

SaoZen Plush – Instagram

Super cute plush artist! When photos from her feed pop up on my IG, I just feel filled with light!

Macy Daisy – Instagram

I love her style and her shop! I have bought a few pieces of clothing and jewelry from her, and they feel so thoughtful, beautiful, and so authentically her.

Momiji – Instagram

Until very recently, I had no idea how cute the Momiji Instagram feed is! I will be working with Momiji soon on a fun giveaway for you guys, and their IG feed is just plain adorable! Momiji dolls have an opening so that you can hide hand-written messages, dreams, and wishes in them!

Naoshi Sunae– Instagram

Anyone who has been in my house has seen Naoshi’s work. SHE PAINTS WITH SAND. It is so amazing, and I totally want to be one of the girls in her art. I have the print in the upper left corner, but I haven’t bought a frame for it yet. When I was in LA a few years ago for the Sweet Streets show, I bought an original sand painting. I don’t normally splurge a lot on original artwork, but I could not say no to myself!

I hope you had fun taking a little peek into what I find inspiring on Instagram. Have a fun and/or relaxing weekend! I’ll be prepping for my trunk show at Imagiknit on Monday and MAYBE seeing Naoshi in person at Renegade Craft Fair! (Renegade added a 3rd show this year in SF, and this weekend is the first one!)

I just received my order of custom bookplates, so for those of you who bought my book already but would like a signature, you can purchase one of these bookplates and let me know what you’d like written on it, and then I ship it to you for you to stick in your book!

I’m also still offering signed books in my shop as well :). Don’t forget I have a book signing here in San Francisco on Monday, May 2nd, at Imagiknit, 4pm-7pm. Details are here!

Please mark your calendars if you’re in the Bay Area! I’m going to be at my favorite yarn store Imagiknit, on Monday, May 2nd from 4pm-7pm signing books and throwing a lil trunk show! Come say hi, check out some finished pieces from the book, and maybe even purchase some if you haven’t done your Mother’s Day shopping yet! I’ll have limited numbers of pieces, so be sure to snap them up! I would really love to see you there! Don’t forget to check out the deets at Imagiknit, and here’s the Facebook event if you want to put it in your event calendar over there :).

Wanna call in and chat with me on a podcast? Let’s do it!

I’m going to be on the Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird on Tuesday morning, April 19, at 10am mountain time, which would be 9am here on the West Coast. We’re going to chat about my new book and gosh knows what else… so tune in and find out and say hi!
