Are you a regular coffee or tea drinker in the morning? Are you sick of those cardboard sleeves? Then look no more, Little Bird Creations has got you covered, you can drink your drink in style with one of her adorable felt coffee cuffs. But even cooler? You can design your own colors from the variety of designs that she has! OK, sorry for the infomercial, but really, Jaime’s shop is uber adorable and not only does she sell coffee cuffs, but she sells pendants and ring pin cushions (too cool) as well. So what are you waiting for, read on to get to know Jaime and her shop just a little bit better!! 🙂

{MEET JAIME}

1) Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you decided to open up shop?
Hi there! My name is Jaime, I am a native Austinite (Austin, Texas), indie designer, obsessive crafter, lover of color, felt, coffee and most of all…I love being mom to my boy and soon to be daughter (we are adopting a sweet child from Russia). I am married to my best friend (we met at age 15, became best friends and never looked back!) going on 11 years! My life is not as I had planned it, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I have been making and designing for as long as I can remember. My Gramms taught me how to sew when I was 7 years old and I don’t think I have stopped sewing since! My first project was a rag doll…after that came a short obsession with sock bunnies. My poor family had to endure that phase for almost every birthday and Christmas present that year. In 2003, shortly after the birth of my son, Little Bird came to be. I decided to open my online shop in 2007 as an outlet for my creative making and it has grown into the shop it is today.

2) Where do you draw inspiration from?
A lot of my inspiration comes from daily living and my children! Whimsy, wild flowers, birds…bright colors. Inspiration is just about everywhere and I never know when that moment of “aha! must make this now!” will hit…it’s a fun process though and I love how just simply living can bring about fun ideas.

3) If you could travel to anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Being in the middle of our adoption, I have to go with Russia. I cannot wait to get back there and bring our daughter home!
If not being in the middle of our adoption, I would say Greece…the people, food, architecture, beaches…I would love to see it all.

4) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Very Berry Strawberry from Baskin Robbins! 🙂
