We interupt our regular program.....

TOMORROW AT 10 AM EST I'm going to be having a STUDIO SALE!

(I know my posts have been dominately about stuff to buy...but the truth is...I'm trying to get rid of stuff!)

I'm going to be selling flat rate mailer boxes full of left over Studio products...fabric, fabric, fabric, patterns, stationery, scrapbook paper, you name it. Products I haven't sold in years, other's that never made it to the shop, and products that I have now, but will no longer be selling any more! Mostly Sarah Jane products that I've been holding on to, but don't have room any more. Want some?

But they are mystery boxes...meaning you won't know EXACTLY what you will get...but I can promise you you are going to love it.

Come by tomorrow and take a peek of what's going inside! Check back here in the morning! 7am PST/10am EST

Here's another peek:

OK! Now back to the giveaway......

CHRISTMAS GOODNIGHT GIVEAWAY

 

GIVEAWAY TIME!!!

This time last year was super exciting, as I was debuting my first picture book. It's a labor of love to illustrate a picture book....one that I consider awesome and amazing and something I'd do again and again and again.

Today, I'm giving away THREE signed copies of A CHRISTMAS GOODNIGHT!

This sweet story was written in the style of Goodnight Moon, where the reader is saying goodnight to all the Nativity characters....first to the real life story, and then to his own Christmas surroundings.

It's a sweet, simple lullaby text, not complex and narrative, but one that makes for a perfect bedtime story.

You can read reviews HERE

Come and get some AMAZING quilts, pillows and aprons featuring the OUT TO SEA collection. 

You just need to sign up for ONE KINGS LANE to see the event. It's a great site. Promise.

My favorite items are all the decorative pillows with real vintage trims.

And then these canvas pillows with hand stitching....LOVE!

And the quilts are to die for. They forgot to open up the quilts to show the full design (oops!) but I promise, they are amazing. This one for instance, is rows of chevron, alternating with white.

These aprons are reversible, which I Love!! We have a few reversible aprons at home, and I think they are adorable.

Quilts sewn and quilted by the amazing April of Prairie Grass Patterns, Pillows sewn by Sachiko of Tea Rose Home and Susan of Lil' Tulip and Aprons by Gina of Party of Eight.

They lovingly worked together with me while I designed all the products and they sewed them together....they turned out amazing.

What a treat! I'll be shipping them from my studio with lots of love!

Paper Doll Tins

We love paper dolls at our house. I'm thinking of making some more for Christmas, and I came across this really darling idea from Alanna's Blog who blogged about magnetic paper doll tins. I had to share!

She took the paper dolls, and made their own boxes, and lined it with the Children at play crafting paper. So so darling.

She used the smaller, pre-cut Making Memories Dolls that I designed.  But you can also use the Paper Dolls I have in the shop as a PDF download HERE.

(The set has 6 dolls and 30 outfits!)

I'm starting to feel the "crunch" time of getting my handmade gifts done for this Christmas. You? I'd love to know what you are making this season. Do you have any handmade gifts you just can't wait to give?

Updates and such.

Hello!

Oh wow. What a week it's been! I'm still so overwhelmed by the response to The Portrait Project.  I honestly had no clue how much enthusiasm there would be. Really.

It sold out in less than 24 hours (all the slots I had available for 2013) and there are a couple hundred on the waiting list. If I had known how popular this would be, I would have been a bit more prepared. Well, the truth is I care about getting everyone of you art work...but I'm kinda short on time and hands...so I'm still figuring out how to make that work. But good news is, I think I'm making a lot more room from artwork in the future for sure!

If you are on the wait list (you know, cause you emailed me) I'm going to be in touch shortly. But as it stands, I'm going to be doing what I can this year, and then opening it up again by maybe the summer, or more likely a year from now.

But thanks to all who purchased! I can't wait to get started!

On another note, we have a few more things up our sleeves here that I'm super excited to introduce to you. So be on the look out. I think Friday I'll have an announcement that will be super exciting. So stay tuned!

Love to you all!
