Big thanks to Molly Newborn for helping Penguin's Gift celebrate one year of gift sharing.

And thanks for a very popular giveaway!

Petal Drop Necklace

Okay, something else has been added to my Holiday Wish List:  A Petal Drop Necklace from The Pleated Poppy!

These unique necklaces are made by placing a swatch of fabric behind a beautiful chandelier crystal, then hanging the crystal from an antiqued copper chain.  I love the balance of sweet, feminine with the industrial feel of the copper chain.

Find them here, priced from $30 - $35.  While you are there be sure to check out the other products at The Pleated Poppy, including Petal Pushers and Posy Pins.

Fabric Bracelet pdf file

Christmas is less then three months away!  Yes, its still early fall.  Most of us are just now thinking of Halloween and Thanksgiving feels like forever away.  But now is the time to get a jump start on Christmas gifts!  Lots of people are going back to simple, made-with-love gifts (which I love to give and receive!).  If you are looking to make a few gifts for this holiday season and love playing with fabric, then I have a great shop for you - V and Co.

Last week I purchase the pdf file for the Fabric Bracelet pictured above.  I haven't made the bracelet yet but even a craft/sewing-challenged person like me can tackle this project.  The instructions are very clear with color photos and step-by-step instructions. 

Braided Pillow pdf file

I think this pillow would be a amazing gift using one of the Moda Jelly Rolls, even a Christmas Jelly Roll.  (I'm in love with Moda fabric right now!)

The Favorite Scarf pdf file

I am a scarf lover!  There is nothing like receiving a great winter scarf.  Using the pdf file from V and Co. you can make beautiful embellished scarves for just about every gal on your holiday list.

Fabric Decorative Balls pdf file

Oh, I would love an arrangement of these Decorative Balls displayed in my house!  Just think of all the holiday or decor themed combinations you could create.

All of these pdf files are priced at just $6.99 each!  And there are lots more at V and Co.  Also, check out V and Co.'s blog where Vanessa shares her uber-crafty ideas. 

Have fun making gifts for the special people in your life!!

Cake Pops

I can't help but get caught up in the buzz about Bakerella's new book Cake Pops.  I'm not a Bakerella follower but I think her cake pops are the cutest things ever!  Once my daughter sees the cookbook we will be busy making cake pops, and more cake pops, and even more cake pops.

This book is the perfect gift for so many.  The photography alone is worth the price!  Not to mention all the tips and tricks that are said to be included.  Priced at around $12 from Amazon.

(I've added it to my Christmas Wish List!)

Halloween Gifts

I know its still September and we've all just realized that Fall is here to stay (yay!) but I wanted to share some fun Halloween things.  Each year Halloween has become more and more a holiday for gift giving so I thought a roundup of spooky and cute things were in order.  Enjoy!
