a floppy ear and handful of hearts...

My workday is filled with so many different activities- designing, cutting, searching for materials, taking photos, writing, blogging, thinking, not to mention the physical act of sewing... and really that's just the obvious actions. Running a business is a hefty load of multitasking and odd jobs.  Yesterday I did a number of things, my favorite of which was nailing down the design for the bunnies I'm making for the Valentines Day Update. Designing is a complex puzzle that is so satisfying. I find all the joy is in the smallest details- a flopped over ear- the slight differences in layering felt for small hearts...

on the worktable for today... TEN BUNNIES!

order a yard for yourself!- FABRIC UPDATE-

Here's the link to order my fabric directly...  from Spoonflower. (if that link isn't working for you for some reason, you can search my name in their search box too.) You get it at the regular Spoonflower retail price (no mark up from me) and have a number of different fabrics to choose from. If you click on the "zoom" button you can see the full yard design which has a little bit of all four patterns...

Ordering Note - The only way to get all four designs it to purchase a full yard or more. You'll see as you click on different sizes of "cuts" what the piece your purchasing will look like- if you only order a swatch or a fat quarter, you'll just get part of one design... hope this helps!

Hope you Enjoy!!!
and I'd love to see anything people make with this- so send your images my way!

I'm working on making a yard of my fabric- all 4 designs on one piece available for everyone soon! Stay tuned. Ohhh and I designed it all in Photoshop... I'm not as good with Illustrator or InDesign, but I made it work. Even though Photoshop isn't ideal for this job the print quality on the fabric didn't seem to suffer- I'm so happy with the samples that arrived yesterday. I'm working with the yardage now to make clothes for the Valentines animals... I've got one dress- and I do like the idea of overalls- we'll see.

the fabric arrived

and the colors are perfect with all the hand dyed fabric I'm working with... things are really shaping up- now what to make with it?!
