here's another clue for you all

off the wall

here's something new that made a debut at charm city craft mafia's pile of craft.

what in the world is it, do you ask? why it is a little bit of decoration for your wall. the platform is an 8" x 10" canvas that is covered with several lofty layers of quilt batting. then a patchwork piece is wrapped around and secured to the frame with a few shots from the staple gun. voila! the wall pillow is born.


this is an idea that has been cooking for quite a long time on the chickadee back burner. it was fun to finally turn thought to reality. tomorrow you'll meet the other two members of the first ever chickadee wall pillow collection. be on the lookout for more in the future!

pile on!

la table d'chickadee at pile of craft

it seems like ages since the traveling craft caravan pulled in to beautiful baltimore for the charm city craft mafia's pile of craft. it was a lovely location with equally lovely vendors and shoppers alike. a fun way to spend a day, surrounded by a bunch of talented local crafters. the pride of baltimore indeed.

be back soon!

happy father's day

this chickadee loves you

pile of chickadee

see you in baltimore, hon!

one more day until pile of craft means a day full of last-minutes and loose-ends here. it also means that the little shop of chickadee will be temporarily closed to accommodate the craft show AND will remain closed all of next week. this chickadee is going over the river and through the woods and very far away from the internet. we'll be shutting the doors at midnight tonight, so get your last minute purchases in now or simply show up tomorrow!

please chickadee, don't hurt 'em!

relax, its just a staple gun...and a brand new project set to make a debut at this saturday's pile of craft!

oh ye of little faith

not all of ye, just some of ye. we have sprouts!

reach the beach

here's a chickadee first! a custom order for a blushing bride-to-be who is getting married on the beach and wanted to outfit her bridesmaids with a little more than taffeta and bows. now the merry maids can wade down to the water with a tote full of summer essentials like sunscreen, trashy novels and towels...this tote can handle the lot. in linen and cotton that corresponds to her colors, the ladies will have a lasting (and reversible) reminder of the joyful day that they can use all around town. they can take their pick of a field of blue and yellow flowers or pretty polka dots and then tie it up at the top. there's also a little zip pouch to match.
