I love Shop Sucre! (Thanks for the business!)

I am getting the biggest laugh!! My Etsy shop name Sucre & Spice is a nod to my favorite sweets shop, Sucre, in New Orleans. My Etsy address is www.sucreshop.com.
This article in The Weekly Gambit a New Orleans publication, got a little mixed up and listed my Etsy shop as Sucre's web address!

A Spoon In the Road

My little spoons, which I saw and loved and ordered and decorated, have become quite a hit. I imagine sometime when their kids are little, all stay at home moms wonder what their next move will be. I think mine may have found me.
I've been talked about, favorited, listed in treasuries, linked to, and purchased. Considering it was just one month ago I started listing spoons on Etsy, I couldn't be happier! I've been teaching Craft Owls two mornings a week, and am spending at least two others, while kids are at schools, inking stamping and striping! I am spending SO much time doing this, I thought I'd share some favorites.



Oh how I love to spoon! :)

Whooo Loves Owls?

Well, I do. Here's my kids favorite joke: knock knock. Who's there? Owls. Owls who? Yes they do! My kids love owls. But, well, everyone does. They're awesome! And I've been making a lot of them lately because I'm thinking of calling my newly formed craft sessions the "Craft Owls". I can not believe that there are blogs dedicated solely to reporting all products owlish. And the are cuttte. Cute Hoots is one I've started to look at every day. And I'm hoping maybe they'll like this project!

I put together an owl bean bag. Yes, just one. But there are two more coming. Because I am a juggler, bean bags always come in threes. I WANT JUGGLING OWLS. I got the idea here at Moonstitches. Really, I used their basic idea, and I was excited to make the adorable owl on her tutowlrial. But when I got to the end and I saw she was stuffing her owls, I was just surprised and thought that's not what I want to do. So I used a triangle beanbag pattern and boxed in one of the corners, and made my little friend. Would anyone like to see more specific instructions? Please leave a comment, if you would!

He can fly!
Nash likes his new friend. Hope you'll like it too!
