Keep Calm and Craft On

A Project by Lindsey Huckabee
One of my favorite new products is a pint glass with a state outline.  Everyone loves their home state, whether they have lived their all their lives or even if they live across the country and have fond memories of home.  It’s hard not to be proud of where you came from, whether you’re from a a big city or a little country town.  I think these glasses are a great way to celebrate your roots.  You can just have a state outline, or you can personalize it with a heart, star or dot over your city.  For your very own pint glass featuring any state, country, continent, or a world map, visit my Etsy shop at: www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee

I’m obsessed with these new monogrammed cake stands!  Not only are they lovely and personalized, but they double as a punch bowl.  I recently gave one as a house warming gift to a good friend who loves to bake and she loved it!  They are the perfect gift for a new home or a great way to spruce up a well established kitchen.  For your own monogrammed cake stand, visit my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.

Old-fashioned glasses are the perfect addition for every cabinet - we use our set every day.  Either Bear will actually make an old-fashioned whiskey drink Don Draper style to celebrate or relax in the evening or we drink our juice and milk out of them in the morning.  I love them because they are so versatile.  For your own custom designed old-fashioned glasses, visit my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.

Happy Halloween!  Our Halloween wreath is pretty creepy if I do say so myself.  It was pretty easy and cheap (only about $15) to make.  I wrapped black silk ribbon around a flat floral wreath, made a bow out of spider ribbon, and glued a skull into the bow.  I used a smaller wreath than usual, so I had to make sure it hung down from the hook, otherwise it would block our peephole (there’s nothing scarier than not knowing who’s knocking!).  I used the rest of the spider ribbon to make a small bow to hide the hook on the door.  When all of this was done, it still felt like something was missing.  Bear suggesting putting the words “Happy Halloween” on it and I think it was a great idea.  Once I cut the letters out using my Silhouette, I glued them on and now we have the perfect Halloween wreath!

Bear and I have been rewatching the first two seasons of Game of Thrones so when it came time to carve our pumpkins, it wasn’t difficult to come up with ideas for a design.  Bear went with a direwolf for the Starks and I went with a dragon for the Targaryens.  Now we have sigils on our pumpkins!

I love all the ways you can present monograms - interlocking script, bold print, single initials, and even the funky, non-traditional designs.  Even better is the fact that all of these options look great on wine carafes.  And the great thing about these carafes is that their shape does not make them exclusive to wine - they would also be great for juice, milk, water, or tea.  For your own carafe, visit my Etsy site at www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.

This pair of stemless wine glasses is the perfect addition to any cabinet.  The single print initial makes for a design that is simple, classic, and sophisticated.  For your own set of stemless glassware, visit my Etsy shop at etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.

A Princess Tiana fan recently requested two wine glasses with different designs of Tiana.  I offered one better and created two new designs of Tiana and Naveen dancing. The glasses turned out beautifully - a happily ever after with every sip.  For your own Disney Princess inspired glassware, visit my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.

We all have to do lists that are a little out of control and if there’s one thing that helps  me feel in control, it’s having a well organized to do list.  So I decided to reuse an old 8x10 frame and make a nice new to do list.  I put chevron cardstock in the frame, cut vinyl words with my Silhouette machine and made three categories - one for things to do now (errands and things around the house), one for work that needs to be done on my Etsy shop (orders, design proofs, new listings) and one for projects and goals that I want to tackle in the future.  I liked the idea of using a frame because it gives me the option to write things on post-its or with a dry erase marker.  I also like using a frame because if I get tired of the chevron paper, I can easily trade it out for a different pattern or color cardstock - I can even do holiday themed paper.

I love custom orders!  My favorite request recently was a set of 6 stemless wine glasses with a different Disney couple on each glass.  When the customer first came to me with the idea, I was really excited because I knew how cute they would turn out.  What a perfect set of glasses for a Disney lover!  You get all of your favorite fairy tale romances right in your kitchen cabinet.  For your own set of Disney stemless wine glasses or to place a custom order, visit my Etsy shop at www.etsy.com/shop/lindseyhuckabee.
