Summer stitch marker alert!! We just got the cutest rainbow popsicle and soft serve stitch markers from Blue Bird Makery, perfect for those summer projects. We also couldn't resist adding the midcentury modern teacups and the Kentucky shaped stitch markers and needle sizers to our order. We have all of these in the shop and ready for summer adventures!!

We've been carrying stitch markers, bracelet looms, and other small notions from Twin Mommy Creations for a few years not but have somehow forgotten to introduce their creator. Ann is a mom to twin boys, Ethan and Dylan, living in central Florida. She started dyeing yarn and creating notions as a way to save money for her boys' college expenses while still having time and availability to enjoy her life with them. We absolutely adore her stitch markers (and judging by how quickly they fly our of the shop, so do you!) We just got a refresh of the rainbow cats, Soot Sprites, Pac-Man, Uteri, and pretty kitty markers.

You also can’t go wrong with “In Sheep’s Clothing” (not pictured) as a light and bright summery neutral pairing that will let this June color shine!
