Sparkly New Glitter Kitty Stickers

I'm so excited to share these new stickers with you!  Ever since we introduced our Holo Kitty stickers, they have been a best seller.  We originally offered them in pink and black, but the when the black sold out I only kept restocking the pink.  (Sorry to those of you who've asked about the black coming back!) 

Well, when I saw Sticker Mule was introducing glitter stickers to their lineup, I was pumped.  It took me half a second to decide to order these sparkly black kitties and I just love how they turned out.  So magical and rainbow-riffic!

We've always had our stickers printed by Sticker Mule, the quality and service are top notch and you gotta love the multiple design discount and special deals. Anyway, we hope you dig these new Glitter Kitty Stickers.  You can find them in our shops and on our Faire Wholesale line sheet.

Pattern Party Postcards - Restocked!

I've restocked this set of fun postcards featuring six of my hand-drawn patterns. Super-fun to send to friends, but also sweet for hanging on the wall. Head to the shop to grab a set!  Retailers: find these on our Faire Wholesale line sheet.

Three Small Works

Here are three little drawings of pretty ladies that were recently included in the Small Works Exhibit at Sager Braudis Gallery in Columbia, MO.  I meant to post this when the show first opened, but... you know how it goes.  Anyway, the show may be over, but these are still available through the gallery. Give them a call if you're interested! I'm always happy to show work at Sager Braudis!

New Doodletown Pouch + Lower Prices!

I've got a fresh new stack of Doodletown Pouches to share with you today! This is one of my favorite patterns I've designed. Probably because it just sort of happened when I was happily doodling away whatever came to mind. No plan, just fun. 

My design is printed (by Spoonflower) on heavy cotton twill and I lined these with a fun salmon-orange print. You can keep lots of drawing and crafting tools tucked away in one of these!

 

I'm also happy to let you know that I've lowered the prices of all my handmade pouches! This is because I've decided not to sell them wholesale, at least for the time being. Although it's exciting to have these in retail shops, doing so required me to keep a low wholesale price (too low!) so that when shops double that amount, the retail price wasn't crazy high. Anyway, now when you visit my shop you'll see all the pouches are significantly less. Three cheers for that!

Tiny Things Collection Note Cards

Creating these cards makes me so happy.  I really wish I could have a full-time job making these arrangements.  I have always collected little things (I know I'm not the only one!) and am happy to have a use for my tiny treasures (and an excuse to add more to my collection). I piece these together like improvised jigsaw puzzles, carefully placing, shifting and tweaking as I build and expand the layout.  

The little letters are from a vintage ceramic set...  It's fun brainstorming phrases, some pretty silly, others more traditional. I'm always open to suggestions if you have any ideas!

There are eight cards in this series so far, the six pictured here and two winter/holiday themes (let's not think about that season yet). You can purchase each individually or as a set in our shop (also available to retailers wholesale).  

I hardly need mention how much kids enjoy looking at these... Anyone up for a game of I Spy?

Citrus Slide Socks

I haven't posted here in over a year, what with the ease of sharing on Instagram and all...  But I kind of miss this space, so here's a pair of socks.

These took a while to finish, partly because, even though I loved the colors of the skein when I got it, as soon as I started (well, a couple inches in) I really disliked how it was knitting up.  I feel like this happens a lot with me and this type of yarn.  Anyway, I powered through, determined to finish them even though I was sort of grossed out by the color combos all along the way...  Would I even wear them? Since finishing and blocking, these have grown on me a bit. They'll look great under a tall pair of boots!

Pattern: Smooth Operator Socks
Yarn: Wisdom Yarns - Pix in Citrus Slide

My Illustration in REI's Force of Nature Zine

I did this watercolor illustration back in April for REI's new zine: Force of Nature. I was excited to receive a stack of the publication in the mail the other day - Always a treat to see my work in print especially in the company of so many great women artists and illustrators!
