Make Space for Crafting

I love peeking into craft spaces and seeing where other people create. Check out my interview for Craft and get a glimpse into my craft space, which by the way is not normally that tidy!

Fabulous Find: Neti Pot

I've been a coughing and sneezing mess for the past week. Don't get too close to your computer screen or you might catch this never ending cold. I had my first experience with a Neti Pot a couple days ago, which actually felt a little like drowning but allowed me to breath for 10 minutes (totally worth it). I did a search on Etsy for "neti pot" and I shouldn't have been surprised to find a bunch of fancy little pots. I'm now having neti pot envy, I might just have to glitterfy my boring plastic neti pot.

OrangeInk Review & Giveaway


I received the coolest print from OrangeInk in the mail a couple days ago and I just had to share my excitement with you! OrangeInk sent me the Woodland Alphabet print to review and the first thing I noticed when pulling it out of the mailing tube was the quality of the print. It apparently is printed on "premium matte photo paper using high quality archival pigment inks, guaranteed to last for up to 200 years", basically it looks awesome! Any of the prints in this shop would look super cute in a nursery or kids room. These prints would also make the perfect gift for a baby shower with all of the customizable color options (you can match the print to a fabric swatch, how cool is that?!) - prepare to get lots of oohs and ahhs at the party. I'm officially bookmarking and double bookmarking this shop for when it comes time to decorate my own nursery!

Erin, the mastermind behind OrangeInk, is super sweet and a pleasure to work with - I really can't say enough good things about her shop. Erin is offering 15% off prints to my readers during the month of February, just enter the code "DesignsVanessa" in your notes to seller at checkout and wait for the adjusted invoice to be sent to you before submitting payment. This discount is good for prints only and doesn't include any add-on services, such as custom colors, graphic design or logo design.

OrangeInk is also generously giving away this Woodland set (you can pick between the girl or boy set) to 1 of my lucky readers:
