I received the following press release from Lullubee.com.

NEW YORK, N.Y., July 17, 2012 – Lullubee.com is a new online arts and crafts retailer offering high quality, ready-to-make DIY classic craft project kits that craft fans can make with their friends and family or can choose from a line of ready-made, one-of-a-kind craft items that are conveniently delivered to the customer’s doorstep with free shipping to anywhere in the USA.

Lullubee is Crafting Made Easy
Lullubee is crafting made easy by eliminating the guesswork about DIY craft projects. Lullubee designs the craft project, sources the project materials, provides a list of tools needed to complete the project, shares the crafting techniques in an easy-to-follow video tutorial and leaves customers with the fun part: creating beautiful, unique handcrafted objects.

(Basic skill level)
  • Made by Artist: Features crafts made by lullubee’s in-house artists or special guest artists. These crafts are completed projects and are available in limited quantities.


Appreciation for Things That are Handmade
Lullubee was founded in June 2012 by Tiffany Dekel, an online entrepreneur who has been responsible for three successful online agencies and Laura Lee Burch, a former illustrator and professional crafter who has published several books about creating handmade gifts inspired by toys, dolls and costumes and also teaches felting at Shenkar University.

“We developed lullubee because there has never been a better time for people who remember and appreciate the quality of handmade objects,” says Dekel.  “We find that people who enjoy crafts want something unique and not something that is mass-produced that they can share with their children, but may not know how to start. Lullubee was created to help people be creative and be happy with the outcome.”

Many craft projects in lullubee’s Gold Collection and the Craft of the Month Club are classic crafts inspired by Dekel and Burch’s childhood memories that have been popular for generations.

“We enjoy inspiring people and created lullubee to unleash the crafter in you. We encourage our fans to follow the directions we provide with all our craft kits lightly and to play with their own ideas so they end up with something uniquely theirs,” says Burch. “We want our customers to know that there are no bad ideas and to remember that handmade crafts are original and unique every time they make something. Even for us at lullubee, we can make 50 celebration crowns and all 50 can look different.”

Lullubee plans to add a seasonal décor and holiday gift line in September featuring craft projects for Halloween, which includes a playful collection of Trick or Treat costumes and DIY craft kits for Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s.

All of lullubee’s collections feature free shipping to anywhere in the USA.

New life for unfinished quilts - by Quilting Arts

Though I've fallen quite far behind in quilting, and haven't done much lately, I do subscribe to the lovely Quilting Daily newsletter, and found today's article quite inspirational. I'm one of these quilters who loves to start projects, but hates finishing them. 

That's unfortunate, since the quilting is my favorite part.

At any rate, today's blog post by Vivika, "New Life for Your UFOs with Re-imagined Quilt Designs," is simply fantastic. You must check it out! There's a new DVD of Save My UFO [unfinished object] (as seen Quilting Arts TV) that show these segments, available for preorder from the Interweave store, and also a gallery, where you can get advice on your own UFOs.

Please check out my Aunt Greta's Etsy shop!

Quilted Custom Tote, $30 by Not Just Bags
Check out my aunt's new Etsy shop, Not Just Bags. She has lots of cute make-up bags, scrappy totes and custom pieced totes for your use. I've seen her work--it's really high quality!--and the make-up bags are priced at just $10, and the totes just $30. Her work is a labor of love, and you'll get a big does of it when you buy one of her pieces of art.

Thanks for looking, and adding her to your favorites and your circle.

Visit the Fashion Doll Review

My other blog has been devoted to my obsession with dolls, sewing for dolls, and modifying them. It ranges from vintage Barbie to 16" Tonner fashion dolls to ball-jointed dolls. Check it out for some inspiration!

Click these links to let me know when you visit with a link back to your site.

The photo here shows a a Rose Fairy costume I made for my ball-jointed doll made in Korea by a company called Peak's Woods. Her name is Mintie, and she stands almost 23" tall.

The Fashion Doll Review is set up to keep you informed on the latest and greatest in doll collecting, plus we feature sewing projects and doll crafts as well as some of the more humorous aspects of doll collecting.

When I say "we," I refer to an eclectic group of contributors who submit articles to the blog. We're a pretty diverse group of collectors.

Check out this blog...

What a lovely crazy quilt Altered Trading Card I came across while browsing today. It's quite lovely! What a great way to use up all these extra scraps...

Another blog of interest

If you love contemporary quilting, be sure to check out Quilting Arts blogs. It's packed with great inspiration and ideas. (Sign up for their newsletter, too!)

The most recent article discusses design ideas to help you improve your art. Frankly, I'm blown away by the "Trees" quilt by Lyric Kinard. It's just beautiful. Makes me want to get out my supplies right now!

Enjoy!
