All studio visitors must report to the office!

The lovely Steph, who is off learning the art of motherhood, came for her first studio visit with baby Oliver! We have been waiting patiently for them to make the trip, and now we have all had our baby holding fix. Thanks you two! Steph did a little shopping, we are all happy. We've missed you Steph.

**Christmas Gift Idea #1**

For the Ultimate Ultra Fabulous Host or Hostess.

Your Smoking Lily Tea Cozy is not only for keeping tea warm when Grandma is visiting--or for keeping your New England Stone Fence hot hot hot (recipe below)--it's also perfect for when you need to keep little ones entertained. Cozies sold separately, baby not included.

Coming in a variety of print and color combinations. Be the talk of the block with your very own Smoking Lily Tea Cozy.

New England Stone Fence

5 oz apple cider

1 oz rum - maybe more depending on what in-laws are visiting.

Combine in a warm tea pot, sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon on top.

Cover with a Smoking Lily Tea Cozy.

I personally think whipped cream and a caramel drizzle is a great topper.

Studio Update: Babies and Fabric kits

This is Sam!

His mom was kind enough to let me take a picture of him when they came by the store the other day. Isn't he SO cute??

Sam's mom is obviously very talented and creative. She made Sam's top even cuter with the addition of a few of our silkscreened bees she cut out of some fabric she found in one of our fabric kits. She says she also has a piece of the turquoise Oscillator dress fabric printed with rice and is in the process of making Sam a new pair of sweatpants! Fantastic and amazingly adorable!

Our Fabric kits are made using the extra bits we have leftover after we cut out our clothing... we pack up all the bit bits along with patches, zippers and ribbon ready for you to get creative! With lots of different kinds of good quality material there is a plethora of wonderful items awaiting your creation!
Yayy for using your hands and materials that would otherwise be cast aside!
