After browsing through deviantart for plushies, I would have to say sewingstars produces many of the best plushies in the community! I’ve posted one of her tea bag plushies on the blog before, but thought it was worth a second plugin. Check out her portfolio page for more!

Here’s a very cool cassette tape cleaner that I found on Flickr (uploaded by: hermanau). One thing: Cassette Tape cleaners are definitely cool: clear case with few colors. It looks even cooler with the reflection and background of course

I was around Nathan Phillips Square (downtown Toronto) sometime last week and passed by several booths filled with many random things from paintings to photographs to craft pieces. There was one booth that caught me eye, the Monster Factory booth. It was filled with many unique cute plush toys such as these ones:

Monster Factory is Toronto based and is a collaboration between Rhya Tamasauskas, Bliss Man and Adam Dunn. You can see some of their works sold in small downtown Toronto stores such as Propaganda (on Yonge Street).

Mustache Tote Bag

Written by on July 18, 2008 – 5:12 pm -

I think I have a thing for Mustaches! I found another awesome mustache related crafty item that was designed by Bake Sale Designs

Bake Sale Designs is ran by Rebecca. Rebecca is an experienced sewer who has been handcrafting since she was a child. Bake Sales Designs is a unique place to get gifts because they’re unique and handmade, which is more personal and special in a way. I’d rather have a mustache tote bag over a Gucci bag any day!
