Two Magpies Collection


I would like to introduced my cousin Megan the owner of Two Magpies Collection. Not only is she balancing a career as a member of the Air Force, a wife and a mother of a sweet little boy, but she has decided to add an Etsy shop to her already busy life. She makes the cutest baby blankets and burb cloths, that make the perfect baby shower gift or just something soft and sweet for your own little one. I had a chance to ask her a few questions.

What’s your favorite piece of work that you have created?

I've attached a photo of my favorite blanket in my shop.  I just
love the bright colors and adorable dragons.


What are you working on at the moment?

Finishing up some more blankets.  I'm also excited to be working on
my first quilt.

Where else do you sell your work? 

So far just Etsy.  We'll see how things go and perhaps expand from there.

 What else should we know about you and your work?

I'm a working mom and enjoy doing this basically during my child's
nap time.  I have found the process challenging and it's brought me
great joy.

Do you have any tips or inspiring words for others?

Nope, still getting my feet under me on this one.  But I would
encourage people to find their own creative outlets.

What inspires you?

I've always been someone who enjoyed crafting, I'm not quite sure
where that comes from, but it's always been there.  As far as this
particular venture, two things inspired me: first, having my child
seemed to shift my focus to working on creating baby items.  Second,
my mother gave me two blankets to use with my child that she had
originally made for me.  They were large and soft, and great for
putting on the ground for playtime.  I loved having these handmade
items from my mother, knowing the love with which she had made them.
I hoped I could share that with others.

What do you want people to know about your work?

Everything is soft and cuddly, and meant to be joyful.  Creating
these items has been great fun and I hope that comes through the work.

How did you get started?

A desire to learn to sew and make baby blankets for friends/family

Make sure to check out her shop Two Magpies Collection and share with all of your friends.

Oh, hello Paire

My Aunt and I hopped on a train to Paire from Germany. It was about a 3 hour train ride. Seats were comfy. If you can pay a little extra for the leg room. All aboard You can see much of the most beautiful country side this way.  Stopped for a spot of tea. YAY, its the Eiffel tower. I always thought it was amazing in pictures but to see it in person was breath taking.  Louvre  Saw the famous Mona Lisa . I would recommend making this your first stop. There can be a lot pushy people trying to get a look at her. Norte Dame  I had climbed the 402 narrow steps to the bell tower. While I was up there the bells where ringing. Such an amazing sound. I was able to record it on my phone. ( Cant figure out how to share it with you guys, sorry)  I don't remember how many steps it was to the very top of the tower. But I did it and once again the view was breath taki...

Welcome to

                                                               Scotland There should be no surprise that us girls would go here.  The first day we drove around and found a really cute B and B. The next day we picked up Kristlynne. ( that's Kristas sister in law) I know what your thinking two crazy gals was trouble but three crazy gals. All 3 of us have some kind of connection with Scotland. As we were driving back from Sterling we stopped at the  Kelpies . These horse heads are huge. They can be seen from the highway. A lot of creativity and work when into creating these. As an artist I can really respect what the artist has created. ...

Monterey Fun

My friend Skyler was leaving for a Coast Guard trade school. She is going to go for MST, that is a marina science technician. We thought we should go on one more trip before she left. So we  headed off to one of our favorite places MONTEREY. While we were there we thought it would be fun to go diving. SOOO we did what any mermaid would do but go to the local dive shop, rent some gear and went diving.  The weather was a perfect 80 degrees. The water temperature was a freezing 50 degrees.  (Just a little cold) Here are a few pictures of the dive. This was a large Sea Hare Slug. He was close to a foot long  (Fun fact they can grow up to 16in long) I have not seen so many sand dollars in one place.  It was a really neat thing to see. That little white speck is an octopus (Just a baby) That's me That's Skyler We also went  looking for Mermaid Tears (sea glass, found a good amount) and did some shopping...
