This week’s Humpday Blog love goes to my friend Steph Hertel’s Turtle Soup blog.  Don’t confuse her with the yodeling sensation, Stefanie Hertel.

I don’t even know where to start! Steph is pretty much the perfected version of what I do at my blog … she makes things … creates things … designs things … bakes things … and is pretty amazing at it.  I met Stephanie through ISU’s graphic design program — and she is extremely talented.  She works for Hallmark, which is the most coveted job in our field (or at least in my eyes anyway!)

Here’s a random smattering of lovely things that Steph has created and blogged about … you should go check her out, and don’t forget to leave her some love!


Lovely tote bag Steph created a while back


Um, YUM. Peanut butter cup cookies! Oh yes — and she shares recipes as well.

Zucchini Pasta
Lovely Zucchini pasta

Felt Flower Pin
Seriously — she is a jack of all trades! Adorable felt flower pin …

Cute Onsie
Here’s a closeup of an adorable onesie she made

Designy
Here’s a little taste of some of her great design skills … an invite for her annual cookie party and what I’m guessing is the lovely packaging she created to go with it.

Beautiful Quilt
And … a beautiful quilt.

You must take 5 minutes and check her out! Definitely worth it, unless you don’t like looking at well-designed and yummy things. Then … um … why are you here?

    Awww, Calee, you’re too sweet! I’m blushing! Thanks for such a wonderful post!

    You know you’re pretty amazing yourself, little lady. I’m envious of your thriving Etsy shop… can’t wait to get one started myself… I just need to figure out what I’m going to create and sell!

    I agree with you — Stephanie is pretty darn impressive. I wish I had half as much crafty, design-y talent!
