Urban Art Coffee Cozies- NEW product

Urban art for your coffee cuff.

My original miniature canvas paintings for your coffee cups. These perfectly fitting, reusable, insulated sleeves, will render your cup unmistakable for anyone else's drink at your table or meeting.

Painted and stitched canvas, paper cloth, and stamped images, sewn over an insulating layer. These coffee cozies fit regular sized coffee shop paper cups, ice coffee cups, ceramic "180 degrees" cups, and pint glasses, making them the perfect accompaniment to all of your outings.

Great gift for coffee and tea loving boys and girlz of all ages.

Designed, hand painted, stitched, and sold by me AlyTheRed.etsy.com at Bliss Monkey Studio- bringing you the most playful, original, and artsie coffee cozies since 2007.

Our big Holiday Market three day weekend-- I shared a space in Alley, Pracital Rabbit's booth. It was fun, it was colorful, it was busy.

My display rack with wrist warmers, coffee cozies, and brand new gnome stuffie ornaments. See the big gnomies in the bin below? They were a pretty happening bunch.

WHEW!!!!

Kids, I'm a busy busy bee in the studio, sewing lots and lots to keep everyone in wrist warmers and coffees cozied and such. I'll be debuting my new ornaments soon.

Wednesday - Garden Day

I've decided that Wednesday will be the day to share some garden photos or tell a story. But today, today is weather BLAH in Oregon. We Oregonians have a lot of tolerance for grey skies, but this is seriously damp, chilly, and blahhhhhhh......... So what I have are photos we'll pretend are today- overcast, but not so blah.

This is a feature in the front path garden, next to the Moomintroll Garden. See the mound in the back? That's Singing Rock Mountain. I collect rocks that appear to have open mouths. They gather there, on the mountain to sing. Baby rocks next to mama rock too.

Two weeks later..... herbs getting established, tiny celantros making secondary leaves, alyssums purpling around the place, and pinapple mint getting bushy enough to make a batch of sun tea.




Yesterday, I spent the day with THESE devine creatures. My own Mudslide, and his two delightful classmates. We took a long field trip to the awesome children's museum in Salem. We stayed together and had such a nice time. Hours flew by!

We loved the bubble room, where you can make a bubble form around your whole body! And we liked climbing inside a model stomach. We all agreed that we didn't have enough playground time. Pah!


Finally, one last photo of the day's events. Mudslide and his knightly friend poised for action.

A delightful day to be sure, and I raced home to a hot cup of coffee, and afternoon spent in the studio, making new TEA themed cozies! Oooo, la la!
