2 Short of a Dozen Holiday Boutique

Hey all. I'll be participating in a holiday boutique show in Wayzata this weekend. It's going to be super fun and full of crafty loveliness. For more info and to check out the 10 artist's work visit the 2 Short of a Dozen Holiday Boutique blog. I'll be there all day on Saturday, I can't wait!

I'm in the Storque!

Check it out peeps. I was in an Etsy Storque article a couple of days ago! The lovely Linzee McCray wrote the piece about Textile Trends at the International Quilt Market. And one of those trends was embroidery, woo hoo! I got to chat with her about my embroidery kits and she took a pic of me with my big hedgehog pillow. You can read the entire article here.

My Saturday...

Snowkitty - made by Alyssa & Jon from Studio Collective on Vimeo.

...was spent making a Snowkitty. Hah! It snowed 6 inches on Saturday and only days before I had the windows open because it was so nice out. That's the Minnesota fer ya! Here is the hub's video he made of it all. Tee hee!

Quilt Market post number 1 (finally!)

I'm FINALLY posting about Quilt Market. I'll be doing a couple of posts even though I didn't get that many photos, so stay tuned. Above are some pics from my booth. You can see my new products that I'll soon have up on my website and etsy. They are three little dog embroideries and an alligator toy sewing pattern. I'm super excited to start offering sewing patterns! I'd love suggestions on what animal you'd like a toy sewing pattern for next. I'm thinking a jellyfish might be fun, but I'm not sure yet. For the booth I took photos of the dog embroideries and printed them huge to hang on the wall, and people kept coming up to them because they thought I actually embroidered them that large. Heh heh. Now I totally want to. I think it'd be fun to have a big bedspread with one of the dog embroideries on it. I got to meet a bunch of my twitter/blog/store friends. I definitely had a great experience and can't wait till the Spring one in Salt Lake City. And my big news...I'll be doing a line a fabric with Clothworks that will be coming out next year. Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I'm so excited!
