stocking up...


I've been working hard at preparing for my first spring show, and luckily my Mom was able to hook me up with some great wooden displays from her shop - www.woodscountrydecor.com - which is absolutely fabulous by the way! (If you ever find yourself in Central PA, you MUST stop in. It's one of the most relaxing, coziest places to visit, and the shop is always full of new treasures!) Above is one of the wooden tote/tool box I got from her that I jammed full of napkin sets. It's looking great and now I'm really starting to get excited! But the reality is, I still have a TON more that needs to be done before the sale. eek! So, it's going to be a crazy next 6 days, but I'm sure it will be well worth it!

Oh yeah, and one more thing ...which how can I forget?! Check out my NEW petals of love napkins printed in gold on navy fabric!!! I had printed this design on a small run of tea towels and sold out, so I've reinvented it a second round, only this time with longer stems. Hope you like! ...plenty more to come.

who knew McDonald's napkins could ever be so lovely?




i was asked to screen print some cocktail napkins for a wedding, so i had planned to run a sample print on some left over birthday napkins (that i thought i had in the cupboard) ... but, when i couldn't find them, i had to resort to some McDonald's napkins i found stashed away instead. lol. go figure, right? anyways, to my surprise they actually turned out to be quite lovely! who knew?

t+t's handmade business cards




today's "to-do" list involves making more business cards. unfortunately, i did not get around to posting my first set of business cards, so this is them at their second round. i bought a stamp kit + sales tags and made my own. i've dyed them in beet juice and then stamped them with the kit + the dove stamp that i carved (seen in earlier posts). i love it bec/ every one turns out different from the others ... not to mention, it's affordable + fun. hope you like.

My L-O-V-E pillow and new scarves were featured on my friend's blog: "this must be the place" check it out:
http://thismustbetheplacewi.blogspot.com/2010/04/twiddle-and-tweet.html

Danielle and I were friends through college, here in Richmond, and she just recently moved back home to Wisconsin. Here, she found the place where she was meant to be. In Danielle's blog, she shares her joys of life and the things she love. I'm glad to be added to the list of loves. :)
thanks girl! (ps: i can't wait to see pix and posts of your new place!)

wedding bells are ringing and tea towels are fleeting.

I can tell the wedding season is beginning to kick into full gear when my tea towels are running HOT! These make for the perfect bridal and wedding gift! However, I'm currently in extreme need of making many, many more ASAP! i am currently in search of finding good quality, plain tea towels at wholesale, as sewing and printing has become too much. If anyone has any referrals, PLEASE let me know! I can't even tell you how much I'd appreciate it! thnx!

delirious ... the brutal realities!



so as i'm getting ready this morning, thinking about what needs to get done tonight after work, and i realize that "today" is THURSDAY!!! that means there is NO tomorrow night of working for me! soooo, so much for the plan i made last night, i will be in PA tomorrow night visiting with fam. i guess that only leaves TONIGHT to get everything done including packing, which for me, takes awhile as i bring my whole closet. :) so regardless, i'm not going to be able to fit everything in that I had hoped for before leaving on our trip. i'm still going to try to fit in my photoshoot tonight and hopefully some posts for the weekend. but, the rest of my printing will have to happen next week. so in the meantime, i thought i'd share a few pix of the new prints i will be making "next week". ;)
i hope your as excited as me.

(Note: at midnight last night, i decided that maybe i should stop printing so the neighbors don't get mad. so the last pix i've posted are of my screen and transparency, not the actual print).
