Are You Giving Handmade This Holiday Season?

CasaSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 11:00:52 -0800

Stephanie DosReis, a.k.a. A Little Deer, took the handmade pledge and decided to make this beautiful quilt for her son Gabe. It's adorned with a nice mix of blue and green patches, some bird silhouette appliqués, and a sweet pair of words, "Keep Warm."

I love that the quilt is handmade; it's a thoughtful and unique gift that her son will be sure to cherish for years to come. Will you be making or buying gifts this holiday season?

Crave Worthy: Scholten and Baijings Striped Wool Blanket

CasaSugar — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:32:22 -0800

Since it's Hibernation month, all I want in life is to curl up with a warm blanket. A beautiful, warm blanket. This beautiful, striped Scholten and Baijings Colour Plaid #04 blanket ($450/twin, $1200/king) is made of 100 percent soft Italian merino wool, dyed in Italy, and woven in Holland. Each blanket is cut at different widths, so no two are the same. I wouldn't mind cozying up to the Egg Chair that I know is lurking beneath the blanket, either . . .

Where at Home Do You Like to Recuperate?

Home sick? What's your favorite spot at home to hibernate and nurse yourself back to health? I personally like some combination of a few hours in bed, a long hot bath, and of course, a good chunk of time on the most comfortable couch in the house.
