little doodles prints by kate wilson

Kate Wilson describes herself as a small person but she clearly has big-time artistic skills. Her bird sketches look even amazing zoomed in, as she uses an extra fine ink pen and a stippling technique that any nature illustrator would love. Kate is also offering a series of prints whose beige/yellowy style is truly quite [...]

Everything from the stitching and thoughtful plush inner lining to the round-meets-square design makes me want to grab one; if only I had a Nano! =) Each one comes with a metal lobster clasp (a thoughtful touch!) for easy hanging. My favorite is the bunny [...]

my sweet imaginations

As many crafters can relate, Susan Van Horn first began creating art out of a desire to make something personal for her two little girls–and to save a little money on the side.

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! Pukashell is one of the more prolific Etsy shops so I was happy to see these sweetheart cake pins. They’re oh so detailed and lovely, just don’t eat them! I love poring over maps so these tiny European envelopes are right up my alley. [...]

diy: papercrafting with flickr

Flickr is probably the best community for photos out there; Cuteable has its own happenin’ photo pool and is just a great place in general to get inspired. I was therefore quite amused to see someone put it to practical crafting use with these paper Monkeys and Birds. Each one is a DIY project where [...]
