When it rains, slugs come out to play...

While it's true, there are a TON of slugs in the NW, they aren't all slimy & gross. Really... they aren't. There is a particular variety that comes from the attic of your favorite grandma & hutch studio. They are sweet, cozy, & extremely lovable. These three slugs have been made from vintage chenille bedspreads & sauntered out to play today. 

I made my very first slug for our son, Sayer when he was about 6months. It became his favorite lovey & is very well traveled & loved. Since then, I've been making them for KLTworks. I just made these this weekend exclusively for hutch studio. It seemed fitting as the weather is quite rainy & blustery. They are currently in the hutch studio etsy shop.  

Hope everyone is having a nice & cozy weekend! Just thought I would pop by & say hi.

"Yellow"

I just can't help being all mellow yellow right now.  Here in the Skagit Valley the daffodils are in full bloom and I drive right through fields of them on my way to hutch every day.  Soon they will be upstaged by tulips but I personally have a fondness for the daffodils.  I thought I would pull out some of the vintage "yellow" objects at the studio and share them with you.  Enjoy the sunshine!

Now go ahead and kiss a fellow.... or eat some jello.... for the love of yellow.... Happy Spring!

Vintage Inspiration "Pink"

"Pink"

I was searching around the studio today for 50's era items that would possibly fit into our sweet children's room.  Here are some of the pinks......

It's hard not to be inspired by the color, character, and design of these much loved objects.

And how can you not like pink?  Sweet, sweet, sweet.
