I really like that name, I wish I would have thought of it earlier. LOL! Who knows... somebody probably already has it. Anyway... there's a lot going on over here, and I've had NO time to blog, so I have to catch you up on some exciting happenings!
First, there's a new pattern release at Pimp Stitchtoday! It's part Christmas and part everyday (I did Kokeshi dolls and Gingerbread Guys). Also, the first six patterns from each designers collections have been bundled into one package so you can buy past collections for a discounted rate! You get 6 patterns for $15!! And don't forget to check out the Pimp Stitch Blogfor fabulous interviews with designers such as Kristen Rask of Plush You fame! She did a really cool free pattern last week. The PS blog is being updated regularly and has some really cool things coming up that you won't want to miss!!
Also, the first Pimp Stitch kit we sold in our PS etsy shopand it did very well. Now we've added a Christmas kit. The cool thing about these kits is that it comes with a pattern page that has designs from each of us four designers. I did this little Christmas Tree, Tamiedid an adorable reign deer, Amy did a cute fluffy snow man, and Laurendid a yummy ginger with milk! You can buy these kits in the PS etsy shop and at shows only. They are limited in quantities, so get them while they are still there!!
You guys all know that my fellow Pimp Stitcher, Tamie wrote a book right? I know you know that, but JUST IN CASE! Here's a linkto that. It just dropped last week and is finally available. We LOVE LOVE this book. The layout is adorable, the animals are to die for, and all in all it's just a great inspirational book full of cute! Congrats Tamie!!
And if you're already thinking about Holiday gifts... you're not alone!! Amy started a series on her blog called handmade for the holidays. She will be blogging tutorials for quick and easy Christmas gifts! The first one is for these adorable button rings! I'm telling you.... this girl is talented!!!
Finally... I have to tell you about YOU BAZAAR! This is a show that is coming to SF on November 2, from 10a - 5 p! It's a combination of Plush You and Bazaar Bizarre! For me, this is like a dream come true... or as Hannah Montana says... the best of both worlds. (sorry for the HM reference but I had too... I do live with her image in my face daily since I have a 7 year old! LOL!) Anyway, I'll be vending at this show with the other Pimpsters, and I'll be teaching a workshop too! I'll be providing some blank plush toys, and you get to embellish them! You get to stitch faces, add hair, or teeth or horns or clothes, or wherever your imagination takes you!!! The plush blanks will be $10 at the show, and the embellishments you need will all be provided... just bring your imagination!! Here's some pics of some old stuff I've made but needed to rework. There will be lots of new stuff too!! I hope you will come and see me there!!
