The Story of Kiki & Coco, a Jess Brown Doll
We here at Treehouse are big Jess Brown fans.  We love how each doll is unique and thoughtfully made.  No two are alike and each has a personality of its own.  So imagine our excitement when the book Kiki & Coco in Paris arrived at our doorstep!! This book is beautifully photographed and a lovely story of a girl and her best friend Coco, a Jess Brown Doll.  This book and a doll would be a very special gift for a loved one, and February is the perfect month to remind those around us of how special we think they are.  <3

DIY Needle Felted Blanket
We love needle felting. Period. This is a super easy way to bring felting into your home decor.  We all have old blankets around that don't really fit well in out home anymore. Felt them! Pick a design you want and go to town!  This is a great tutorial on A Beautiful Mess to get you started. Good luck!

Two days until Valentines!  You still have time to get festive and crafty. While doing my usual browsing for craft ideas I stumbled upon this.  At first I thought it looked a little difficult, but it's not!  It's so simple! And how cute would it be to slip love notes into or send to school with your little ones?! Check out Adalou for the lovely tutorial!

My HEAD-to-TOE Body Book
I know I am not the only parent out there who struggles with having the answers for everything.  I am so excited to have the new Okido book;  "Head-to-Toe Body Book" in stock!  It breaks down how our bodies work in a sweet and simple way for our young minds to grasp.  And the fun illustrations are so dear.
I have been a long time fan of Okido an art and science magazine for kids.  When I read about their new book " Head-to-Toe: my body and how it works" I was so so excited!  And it's here!  
Take a peek....

DIY Pin Cushion
While in my sewing class at Treehouse on Monday my fellow sewer was talking about her need for a pin cushion and how a great pin cushion would make her a legit sewer. I totally agreed, but in my quest for a pin cushion I noticed they kinda all look the same, and if I was going to have a pin cushion then I wanted for that cushion to match my style. Silly? I think not!  So naturally I went to Pinterest and continued my search. Two minutes in I had found the pin cushion I had been searching for!  So here is the tutorial from Small Good Things.  And, don't forget that Treehouse has you covered in the felt department!

Buy LOCAL today, tomorrow and every day!
Tumblr media
This morning I saw a post by my dear friend, Amy Flurry..... and I couldn't agree more!  thanks Amy!
"Buy LOCAL today, tomorrow and every day! This morning I'm taking off my small business consultant hat to share a few thoughts about the condition of business in our community and the dire need to prioritize where we patronize. The local music store, the lunch-time eatery, the downtown print store, the neighborhood wine shop, the fast framing company, the caring pharmacy, the family-run bakery, the boutique graphic design firm, the specialty kid’s store, the bookshop, the vintage fashion boutique... the places that make Athens most valuable to us, they NEED our support and not just during the holiday or on occasion but EVERY TIME there is a choice over something sold there or at a chain. This is the one situation where we regulate the business climate and we're not doing enough. 
We all know this, but it’s worth saying again: Athens and communities like it have always been defined by the creativity in our midst, but all of these businesses struggle at one time or another. Let's not wait for a desperate cry for action from an owner or for another door to close to be the reminder where to spend our money. We DO have direct control of this thermostat." 
------
As I sit here with a table full of young crafters I am thankful for everyone who has braved the cold and made a trip to TREEHOUSE. kid and craft.  And remember every dollar you spend locally is a VOTE for keeping our city wonderful and  those little businesses around.
