I am still here.

So October has proven to be quite a busy month.

It was my birthday... so I was required to spend a lot of time running around in this:

My friends are super and I am grateful to have had lots of love and attention this month in honor of my birth!

There have also been significant changes rolling out at my day job that have required lots of time and attention from my brain.

And... one of the coolest things this month: Etsy posted a link to one of my cozies on their Facebook page.

Candy Corn Coffee cup Cozy

It brought quite a bit of traffic to my shop. I am so grateful and the influx of orders has kept me quite busy! I am currently on vacation from the day job.... I wasn't sure about taking the extra week before my trip to NYC but it was completely meant to be. I am so glad that I have had the time to fill all the orders and not get behind. It's been a lot of fun. So if you are wondering where I have been.. I have been on my couch with yarn streaming Netflix!

Hope you all are enjoying fall!

Mama Marchand.

I love making custom items. Recently my twitter pal Tricia, aka Mamamarchand requested a custom bird cozy in my favorite color combo. I rushed out the door to get it to the PO so fast that I didn't get a chance to take a picture. She was nice enough to send me one...

I couldn't help but notice it matches the colors of her blog design. And also her Mama's Nest Designs Etsy shop header.  Run along and check out her shop featuring new and upcycled jewelry. She has been open just over a week and has lots of super great items.

These might be my fav:



Edgy Owl Silver green beaded earrings



Cozy love...

Check out some of these super cool blogs that have shared the cozy love!!  I am so very appreciative when people feature my cozies.

Jen over at Harper Street wrote a lovely post about some of the cozies here.

Sarah of Cerlandia talked about the Fall Swap package I sent her (including a cozy, and some of my favorite items that are also made in the Pacific Northwest.) Thanks to Carissa at Kissed a Frog for organizing! It was super fun and I have a post coming on my super package too! Sarah's post about her package is here.

Mayra of In Flight Ideas wrote a lovely post about candy corn. YUM. She included my candy corn cozy. Check out her post here.

Candy corn are so popular right now... Another post following that theme here thanks to Brideblu.

Liz over at  Blue Eyed Owl Boutique wrote a lovely Halloween themed post right here  featuring my vampire cozy.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciated being appreciated!! 

Crazy 8's!

This summer I was asked to complete a custom bulk order. Heather asked for 8 cozies with 8's on them. I was totally curious but went about creating some cute cozies for her. I finally asked and she told me that she had a group of 8 friends that she has known for almost 40 years. They get together periodically and she wanted to bring something that would be used and remind them of each other and their friendship.

She just sent me a pic of their table setting. Judging by that, it looks like they had a great time. I am glad they enjoyed their custom cozies and some super great quality time with friends!

You can check out my bulk listing here.  If you have questions, shoot me a lovely convo or an email: thecozyproject (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Thanks Heather for sharing your picture!

It is really pumpkin time...



Pumpkin coffee cozy by The Cozy Project





















This coffee cozy is a perfect fit for the average disposable paper coffee cup. Wouldn't a pumpking spice latte taste even better if you were looking at this while you drank it?

It will keep your hot drink hot and prevent fingers from getting too toasty! Pictured here on a 16oz cup, but it will also fit a can, or pint glass.

I am excited about Halloween!!

MY 40th SALE!!

Green cup cozy with red apple.

I am happy and excited and grateful to announce that I had my 40th sale on Etsy!

Keep an eye out on my shop. I have some new items that will be going up early next week.

Thanks to my fabulous yarn colleague Christine of dela chic for being my 40th shopper!

I need a wallet...

I am tired of lugging around my wallet and my huge iPhone case.... I am not a construction worker, just slightly paranoid and I brought the super durable one that would protect my phone even if I dropped it off the 30th floor of a building. I want to find a pouch or pocket or case that I can use to carry my phone, bank cards, a business card or two, some cash and a lip gloss.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I have been looking for a month.

Meanwhile... I am pimping my bulk cozies.



10 cozies made just for you!
