Fancy Tiger in Sunset magazine!

Fancy Tiger Crafts was featured in Sunset magazine October 2008! We were listed under the D.I.Y. stops in Colorado. We are super excited about this - thanks Sunset!

The Cutest and Most Teeninesiest Buttons of All Time!

I just found the cutest and most teeninesiest buttons of all time. These three little ones were nestled in the bottom of a recent batch of vintage buttons we acquired, huddling together under the big buttons and hiding with the dusty bits of string and mismatched rusty snaps. I almost ate them they are so cute.


Perhaps if you were going to make a winter coat for your pet finch or mouse this fancy button would be perfect!

Soft as a Bunny's Belly

We have tons of new yarn coming in almost everyday! Some of our new favorites that are particularly luscious are the Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky and Jojoland Cashmere. The alpaca was irresistibly soft - we've already made two hats out of it!

Abby, Our Cutest Dog Friend

We recently made a cute dog portrait of our cutest dog friend, Abby, who works at Composition.
Our little Abby was an experiment - a hand sewn softie that we needle felted "fur" onto. We hope Abby likes her new friend!

Is the cuteness killing you?

We just got in patterns and kits to make adorable patchwork owls in various sizes. The cuteness is killing me. Even better than patchwork owls are the new fabrics from Moda's Urban Chicks "1974" collection. In addition to purchasing the fabric by the yard, they have put together handy little charm packs of 4 x 4 squares - perfect for making a whole family of shockingly cute owls.
