Once in awhile items are sold out, there will be some coming again, keep checking back! Thanks everyone!!!
Oh wow, do I get to be first? :) Free People is my favorite clothing brand. And I found you through their post :) So glad I did because you do some fantastic work. I have taught myself how to sew, with hopes of one day recreating some Free People goodness :) In answer to your questions.. I have to say my favorite crafter is Carol Duvall. She is the one who made me fascinated with crafts many years ago. And I love everything in your shop, but if I had to pick a favorite, I would say the skull and crossbones hair clips. They're so cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteAll three stores mention make my heart go pitter patter. Just looking at their catalogs make me happy. My favorite crafter are probably the gals over at Sugar City Journal. After looking at all their lovely creations I long for a sweet baby girl and oh yeah, I would need to learn to sew. My favorite item in your shop is the MAMAsize Rosy Posy Hair Clip in Honey Yellow.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafter/craft site is Amy Karol fro Angrychicken.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite items in your shop are the Rosy Posy hair clips in shocking pink.
I love the bag!
Wool Felt Crown- I'm a Pirate is my favorite item on your site. Posie Gets Cozy is my favorite crafter blog.
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Soule Mama, both her site and her book. My favorite items in your shop are clips I bought for my daughter and use all the time, the Rosy Posy ones, especially in blue. My email is amharju@gmail.com. What a gorgeous bag! You should really sell those in your shop, they're amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love to pet the clothing at Anthropologie. I have to discretly check that I am not drooling as I flip through the pages of the Free People catalogs. Yes I am a fan. One of my favorite blogs is superherodesigns.com - she is an inspiration. I covet your crowns, especially the purple chrysanthemum - just a wonderful sense of wonder and joy.
ReplyDeletemy e-mail is monica.gruber@bacs-gc.org
Mmmh, free people. I am salivating now. I love the girls at Sugar City Journal...and even get to call Melissa my friend. I love all of your Posy Hair clips. So adorably refreshing compared to a basic bow.

Found you on the Free People Blog; which is SO magical!
i am so absolutely in love with your site, your girls are always so cute in the dresses you create for them. i think it is so cool that you got to work with free people because i love all their stores. well if i had to choose what i like best in your store i would have to say the hot pink rosy poseys. and i would have to say that martha stewart is my most favorite site to pull crafting inspiration from.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just discovered your wonderful blog and amazing homemade items. My favorite thing in your store is the Wool Felt Crown- Beautiful Mum. I love the purple, I would wear it while vacuuming my house. My favorite crafter would have to be my mom. Katheryn Tidwell Bieber, If I hadn't grown up in craft stores my whole life I might have ended up way to normal. My email is rileigh.hansen@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I LOVE the dresses you make for you daughters, I have a one-year-old girl myself and I think I am going to bust out the old sewing machine. The polka-dot with the embroider rose is my favorite. I wish it was in my size.
Congrats my friend! I am so glad that your constant creativity (that rocks, might I add!) is being acknoledged by those that you love! You deserve it! :)

ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions my favourite craft blog is undoubtedly Little Cotton Rabbits for more reasons than I could ever name here.

As usual my little girl is sitting on my knee as I surf the craft blogs and she said 'I have always needed one of those...all my life' - She's four!
A thousand good wishes for the wonderful things that will lead on from your Free People exposure! Jen

My favorite thing NOT in your store is the new headband...oh how I really want one of these!!!
But, my favorite in store item rae the girlie crowns...because, well, Molly is a princess and will be celebrating her first birthday soon!
My email: MrsCooper811@aol.com
Ok, it's so funny, I was at a 2nd hand shop just a few weeks ago and saw this great embroidered dress, and thought of your free people bag, and was going to make one of my own! I too love Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters! I would love to give this bag a new home! If not, I guess I can make my own... My favorite craft site is, honestly, yours. When I first started sewing and crafting, a friend sent me your clutch directions and that was the first thing I ever made! Now I make hair clips, dresses, dolls, anything I can sink my teeth into because you inspire me! I totally copy you all the time! I think, if Ruby can try it, so can I! But if you're looking for new ones, I love howaboutorange.blogspot.com. She has some fun things there, and she loves bright colors. I also love fortandfield.blogspot.com. She has a unique style too. I love your rosy posy clips and I love the crown idea. And I can't wait to see what new stuff you add to the shop! I was just checking out your new vintage clutches. Too cute! I love the buttons on them! My email is kimberlyhibler@gmail.com. And congrats on being spotlighted on Free People and making up a tutorial! That's so amazingly awesome! I want to grow up to be you!

Absolutely gorgeous bag! Congrats on the mention!
Wow, this is really cool. I just received Free People's email and perused through each link on their faves list. And now, I'm visiting yours -- which is really cool because I just bought one of your MAMA-size Rosy Posy in Black about a month ago, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. The bag giveaway!
(1) My favorite craft site is How About Orange the The Black Apple.
(2) My favorite item from your shop are those cute Rosy Posy clips. =) (I'm wearing mine right now).
(3) My email: hello@puglyfeet.com
I just found your site through the Free People blog and love your creations! I have short curly hair and so I often wear headbands and barrettes. I haven't seen anything like your barrettes in the stores and am very excited! My favorite item in your shop is definitely the rosy posy hair clip. One of the craft blogs I get a lot of inspiration from is Amy from http://www.angrychicken.typepad.com/.
ReplyDeleteMy email address is amydgrossman@gmail.com. I can't wait to find some embroidered fabric and try out this purse tutorial.
Thanks!
Amy
I hadn't had the pleasure of stumbling upon Cakies until now. I absolutely love the sweetness of your work. And your girls are adorable!
ReplyDelete1. Favorite crafter/craft site:
It would have to be Heather Bailey's site. I just LOVE her creations. They're funky, fun, and very feminine... and actually, quite similar in style to yours!
http://www.heatherbaileystore.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite crafter is soulemama. What I like the most in your store is the Wool Felt Crown- Beautiful Mum!
My email is mariefugere@gmail.com.
I love the bag! I hope I win:)
I found your blog through the free people newsletter, and what a great find! My favorite crafter is Leya at Curious Bird. I'm digging the MAMAsize Rosy Posy hair clip--so cute!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't look at the Free People blog, but I did receive the email with your name and blog link on it! I really do love your shop, and honestly my favorite item is the wool felt crown-x marks the spot and the bag of gold coins! I'm only 18 but if I were to have a child I would purchase all of your shop items for them because they are just so perfect. The crown was my favorite because as a kid I loved going on treasure and scavenger hunts, and I know that if I were to have a child I would create treasure hunts for them as well haha.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafter; hmm I don't have a certain favorite, but I really have an obsession with old quilts. I just recently went into antique shops looking for patchwork quilts, and I found some amazing ones. I love the story behind them, and how much work is put into them. I'm not very great with a sewing machine, but if I were I would try to make as many quilts and other projects as I could! But as of now, I'm just stuck to sewing by hand. My email is: Amandawalter7@yahoo.com
Even if I don't win, I'm going to try to follow your instructions to make the bag! Thank you for including the instructions :)
Love your bag, the braided strap adds pop to the bag! My favorite site is Sprinkles on top. I am loving the felt crowns you make... perfect for the birthday girl or boy and great for dress up and photoshoots. Glad FP shared your blog!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the bag. love love love it.
I have to say, that though I love checking in on other blogs for inspirations (pleasantviewschoolhouse is a fave) - yours is pretty much my favorite. I know I say it all the time, but I love how you are always crafting in the same vein as I am, with a really RUBY twist.
My favorites in your store? um, I think I love the mama posy hair clip, which I just ordered. =)
and. my email... libertyworth(at)gmail(dot)com
ps - huge congrats. this is so exciting for you!!!!

ReplyDeletewoo-hoo!!!
ReplyDelete1. I really love so many crafters out there; check out the links on my page for a complete list. :) of course, I'm slightly biased and my #1 favorite is my sister @ bunnycreates.blogspot.com. :)
2. I love the pictures of your babies in your shop the most. haha. but seriously, I love your crowns. They're fab! :)
congrats!!!
Hi! I found your blog through the Free People blog (their creativity inspires me above all else). I spent the better part of last night reading through previous pages of your blog and looking at your beautiful photos. I love how happy you are being a mother and using your creative abilities to make such beautiful things for your family and shop. I am also an artist and a young mother, so finding other women with similar interests is encouraging to me. Now I really want to turn my blog into a creative outlet instead of just a journal.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blog entry of yours is the one about last Mother's Day. I love the idea of having a family art day! I have decided that my little family needs to do this as well (I'm even stealing your idea to make our own sushi).
Your purse is beautiful. I am a slow learner as far as sewing goes, but have been trying my best for the better part of a year and a half. I mostly make pillows and blankets, so a purse would be a good challenge for me. Thank you for the tutorials on Free People! I'd love to see this as a backpack too.
I love entering contests as well:
1. One of my favorite crafters is Jill: homemadebyjill.blogspot.com.
Jill is a soon-to-be mother and likes making things for babies as well. I also really love the Etsy website: I really like bluebirdlane.etsy.com. She has the prettiest butterfly tags you will ever find.
2. My favorite item in your shop is the Delicious Poppy In Fire Red. Poppies are my favorite flower and I have paintings of them all through my house. Although not in your shop, I also really love the black and white polka dot dress with the embroidered flower on it that you made for True. I would love to buy one of these or see a pattern of it for when I have a daughter (I have a son so I am forced to be content with less pretty outfits).
3. My email addy is ladaisi@hotmail.com .
Thank you so much for the inspiration! I'm going to pass your blog link on to some other crafty friends as well. Keep posting!
WOW... totally RAD!!! You ROCK girl!!! Yeah... so, my favorite thing in your shop just left because I bought it... it was TOO cute! And I always love your cakies and I love that crown with the beautiful zinnia on it!!! Maybe I need that too?? Anyways... I'm really into Bamboletta.com right now because she is awesome at making waldorf/steiner dolls. I love their hair. I want to make one myself. (You can still get in on her doll give-away that ends in two days!!) And do you know my email? bethany.hissong@gmail.com. I love getting comments on my blog from you... you're one of those people who really inspire me and I think of "joy" when I think of you! Give those two a big hug today :)
ReplyDeleteI love your hair clips, I hope that I have a girl some day so that I can adorn her hair with cute clips... unless she's bald. I love the poppy one, I'm a sucker for poppies. Your bag is gorgeous also!
ReplyDeleteFor crafty blogs, I really like Kelly McCaleb over at http://www.kellymccaleb.typepad.com/.
Thanks for inspiring us stay at home mamas.
1. I love to read "the crafty crow"

Hi! I found your blog through a Free People subscription I recieved after buying my girlfriend something from free people. She is addicted to Free people! She is also addicted to crafts and sewing. She would cry of happiness for this bag. I can't complain with her obsession because she is so sweet and makes her litte sister crafts! She also makes me t-shirts and little cute things all the time.

Hi Rubyellen,
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have ever "blogged," but your bag is inspiring so here I go...the clips you make are beautiful...I love the roses, but maybe 'cause Halloween's a comin', my favorite was the skull and cross bones clip. It rocks.
I love to see creative people doing their thing. I mostly catch them in mags and books. I love collage. It seems that can be done in any medium, from wall art to scrapbooking. I came across an artist who made some really cute birds and incorporated photos in them. Her name is Jenni Bowlin.
Maybe that whole collage thing is why I love free people. Their clothes are like body collage. Love it.
Great to "meet" you. Keep up the good work. As a mom of three, now school age kids, it gets harder to find the time when their bed times get later and they don't nap anymore, but you can bring them in on the fun, too. Create on!
I'm at elizabethicks@adelphia.net
Yay Rubyellen!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to collaborate with you on this project! :)
F.P. <3's Cakies!!!

ReplyDeleteUm, wow! Can I just say how happy I am that I found your CUTE blog!!!
ReplyDeleteLets see, my favorite craft blog (I have many. My bloglines is proof of that.) is probably 7layerstudio.typepad.com

I am really impressed and inspired by your blog.
ReplyDeleteJust this morning I made up my mind to buy a sewing machine and start learning the art of creating beautiful things all on my own.
While visiting Free people site I stumbled upon your interview and was really inspired by it.
Since yours is the the first crafts blog i've ever visited and really enjoyed I would choose it as my favorite crafts site.
It was hard to only choose one item from your shop but since I have to, I would go with the MAMA-size Rosy Posy in Stunning black.
When I saw The bag I imagined myself wearing it with a white cotton dress and strolling the narrow streets of a greek Island...
Beautiful bag!!
ReplyDelete1! One of my top favorite craft sites these days is LittlePaperPlanes.com.
ReplyDeleteJust a collection of wonderful artists selling art in all forms.
2! My favorite item of yours has gottt to be the hand doing the peace sign hair clip. I lovvvee that. I know it's not selling in your shop right now, but, hopefully me mentioning it will inspire you to make more?
