down home amy makes these very sweet baby goods. I love her illustrations and the way she prints them on basic colored backgrounds. Amy also has a nice line of household goods and all the printing and sewing is done in her studio on the east-side of Vancouver, Canada. You can visit either her blog, shop or website to get a good feel of her work.

Hello everybody...I'm really looking forward to a new week, starting with a picture of our own home...I finally got a change to hang our plastisock wall pocket in the boys bedroom...I bought it over at ittikid a long time ago and I'm still very happy with it, perhaps even more now when it's actually hanging on the wall. I'm a big plastisock fan. The bold graphics and colors with a Scandinavian tradition really appeal to me. Of course I love to combine the strong prints with softer and more basic items. Lode also loves to wear his robot shirt and the Lions...and I must say as a mum I'm very pleased with the quality of the materials! Plastisock was created in 2005 by Malin Jarbo and Emily Willman.
I have placed some of my own old theather puppets...not all, becasue some of them were so scary looking. Can't believe I actually dare toplay with them when I was a child :) and if you curious to know which books are hanging there then click here and here :)

Are you already familiar with this great online magazine ... Modern Handmade Child...? if not then please click her for the latest fall issue and enjoy a wealth of handmade products, many links to creative people, recipes, a DIY tutorial ideas of how to start a bookclub. I randomly picked some images of handmade items from the magazine that I really like. Modern Handmade Child is a seasonal online publication founded by Gretchen Jakub Fabre and Shannon Hanley (who some of you might know from the EtsyKids Team) in early spring 2009. Their main mission is to share their passion for the 'handmade' with you.
