Handmade for Springtime



Spring looked like it was coming early, but mother nature reminded us that it is not quite spring yet. We walk outside and daffodils are blooming, trees have buds starting to emerge, and robins are starting to appear. If you have the winter blues and you are looking for a little bit of sunshine, check-out of few inspirations from Handmade in KC artists!

Finding Inspiration In Nature

Spring time is a time of birth and renewal. Take time to enjoy nature and see what inspires you. Maybe it is a splash of color from a budding flower, a inspiration from the birth of new animal, or discovering a new way to up-cycle an every day item to celebrate life; inspirations can be found all around us, if we just take a second to observe and listen!

Whether it is picking something special or just a small token to make someone know they are special, a handmade gift is always a great option.

Special Meaning Gifts

Many houses are full of t-shirts that take up space in our closest and dressers. Some we collect overtime and we put into a box to donate to charity or it ends up as a rag. There are the other t-shirts that have a special place in our hearts, connected to a memory in our past. Grab that t-shirt and contact Strawberry Auburn! They can turn it into a pillow. Do you have a large number of t-shirts? How about a quilt?
