Digs Studio ~ Best craft shop in town!

I love Digs Studio! Combine a little bit of Minneapolis shops Crafty Planet and I like You with the interior design aesthetic of Hunt and Gather and you have the best craft + handmade + gift shop in South Minneapolis. Located at the corner of 38th and Grand this independent craft studio has loads of charm and personality reminiscent of an ol' timey trim & notions shop from a bygone era. Wander around the shop to find handmade goodies made by local artists as well as unique crafting supplies. Everything from cards, fabric, buttons and yarn can be found attractively displayed among the vintage decor. Its great to have a shop like this in the area and I can't wait to see how it grows in the community. Support handmade and your local Mom and Pop shops, check it out when you're in the area. Sugar, sugar an independent candy shop is located right across the street to entice you even more to visit.

Fellow Minnesota toymaker Tara LaChance (aka little BIG pants) soft toys are some of the handmade goodies that can be found at Digs.

Product Review ~ Puffies

I recently discovered these miniature felt Puffies at my local Archiver's scrapbook store. They are so cute I had to get them. I wasn't quite sure what to do with them until I visited their website and found some creative ideas. They are meant for scrapbooking because they have an adhesive backing but can be utilized for other craft projects as well. A friend of mine is a having a baby girl and I thought that this would be a great gift for the baby's room. I also did some Paris themed wall hangings to honor my upcoming trip. Check out the whole Puffies product line with many fun themes.
