A New Plush Snow Owl Design!

Say hello to the newest member of the Two Happy Hearts Club!
I stitched up this super-soft, cuddly snow owl a couple months ago as a gift for my nephew-to-be.
I absolutely LOVED the way it turned out, and thought it only made sense to make it available on my Two Happy Hearts ETSY.




Do any of you have an etsy shop?
It seems like lots of bloggers have a beautiful etsy shop as well.
Leave me a link! I'd love to add more favorites on etsy ;)

what SHE wore - red coat wonder.

my lovely sister and i went out on a coffee date this afternoon.
she's been in new jersey for the past few days,
so we were overdue for a twin date.



i just had to snap some photos of her. she looked too cute!!

she just bought this amazing red coat.
it looks so gorgeous on her.

red coat - urban outfitters
striped shirt - we the free
boots - aldo
belt - thrifted
jeans - levi

alsooooo.....i started creating little owls with fun feathers!
i'm stoked to have a new design.
i love the way they turned out.
i also found some gorgeous lace & pearl ribbon for the lady.

i like to think she's wearing a fancy little necklace.
and he's looking quite sharp with his tophat ;)





tonight will consist of a basketball game, some chicken stir-fry, and possibly a movie.
northwest indiana is supposed to get nailed with snow over the next few days.
so, i might have some cozy days inside this week!
i'm not complaining about that ;)

three owl friends to swap & love!

i woke up at 4:30 this morning to take my sister & brother-in-law to the airport.
they're flying off to visit friends in new jersey for a few days.

so, i'm back home for a quick second...
then heading off to chicago again today for work.
busy day ahead. true story.

but i thought i'd pop in and show you 3 beautiful ladies i've been working on.
they're meant to be 'swappies'. you & your two besties can swap them around.
remember friendship bracelets/necklaces?
kind of the same idea - only in plush owl form!

they all have pretty lace & pearl headbands...









they'll be in my shop as soon as i get a chance to post them.

but, i've gotta shoot off for now!
have a lovely thursday <3 <3 xo, christen

why, hello december.

i can hardly believe it's december 1st!
november just flew by.
but i love everything about december...including the snow.
which, by the way, today is the first day it's snowed since mid-november!
how perfect to celebrate the first day of december, right?!
i loved waking up and seeing snow out my window.

so magical.

so, i have a few little things to share..
crafting-wise:

i have some more owlies in my shop!
i think they are such darling little cuties..









stop by the shop.
i've got a couple owlies posted there right now.
hopefully i'll be able to post some more this week..

i love making them so much.
i still need to make a couple for OUR christmas tree!
i just wish i had time between working so much!
someday i'll have more spare time to crafting the day away :)

have a happy day!
enjoy the first day of this lovely, cheerful month.

sew-sew-sewing away!

my newest endeavor for the holiday season?

owl ornaments!

i've made 3 different couples so far,
and i'm loooooving the way they're turning out!

it's so fun to sew little mini owls...they're just so adorable.
here are a few photos of the newest members of the Two Happy Hearts collection!







goodness, i love them!
i'm (obviously) going to keep some for my christmas tree...
since it'll be my first ever christmas as a wife!
gotta keep the craftiness spirit going all-year-round.

hope everyone is having a happy november!
somehow it's still in the high 50s here in indiana...
and it kind of feels like a miracle.
