Funky Find Friday! - Carolyn Crump


If this week's post on Thread Sketching/Free Hand Embroidery were an ice cream sundae, then today's Funky Find would be the cherry on top! I came across this talented lady last year and I couldn't believe what she can do with a needle and thread. 
Carolyn Crump 

Her name is Carolyn Crump and she's a fiber artist (one of my new favorite terms) who lives in Houston, Texas.  She goes a step further from Thread Sketching to actual Thread Painting which as you can see is amazing and takes some serious talent.  She uses quilts as her canvas of choice.  These are two of my favorite pieces.  And yes, these are quilts!

Carolyn also creates abstract artwork and sculptures. Check out her awesomeness here.

Funky Find Friday! - The 'Stache Store


In a perfect world, I’d like to believe that I am the funkiest thang around, but I know that’s not the truth. I’m pretty close, though! With that being said, I want to spread the funky love, so from here on out, Fridays will be dedicated to the most fun, wacky, unique people, places and things I can find. Welcome to Funky Find Friday!

The 'Stache Store




A baby with a moustache? What the what?! I found this cool little shop while browsing for baby gifts on Etsy. Apparently my girlfriends just cannot stop getting pregnant! I contacted the owner, Brandy (who I will now refer to as Mama ‘Stache) and asked her if she’d like to be my very first Funky Find and she happily agreed.  I’m nosy and love to hear about people’s life adventures so I asked Mama ‘Stache how the ‘stache store came to be. 


Mama ‘Stache – “What is the {stache} all about? Well for me, the story behind the {stache} starts like any other good story. So an old friend of mine and I had a few beers and were being silly while crafting and the ‘stache was born. Three years later, I'm still going strong! I'm Brandy, the owner and creative genius behind thestachestore.com. I am a full-time elementary teacher (my kids love the {stache}!), mother of two sweet boys (under two!) and a full-time student. Enough about me, let's get back to the {stache} at hand. The {stache} is a symbol of fun and emits laughter. The paci {stache} is the world’s best baby shower gift and brings a smile to a nervous parents face. The {stache} has increased in popularity over the past two years but even long after the ‘stache tattoos fade off the fingers of the hipster, thestachestore.com will still be there. Also available are awesome {stache} sticks for family photos, weddings, photo booths or just for fun.



I couldn’t have said it better myself. And for fun giveaways and coupon codes, be sure to like her  Facebook  page and follow her on Twitter @thestachestore!  I have and I hope you do the same.
