New pattern from Amy at Pimp Stitch

 

This cute new guy is available at Pimp Stitch! Yay Amy! Hoot!

Feline frisky?

 

If your kitties are tired of batting around boring old cat toys...then spice up their life with some catnip sushi ones. I've got the pattern over at Pimp Stitch right now. They're super easy to make and are perfect for stocking stuffers. What? You don't give your pets stocking stuffers? Did I just give myself away as a crazy pet person?

Eek! It's a mouse..ornament

 

Hello. I've got another ornament pattern + tutorial over at the Pimp Stitch blog. These sweet little mice won't steal your cheese--they're content to chillax on your tree or entertain your kitty.

Thank you for your continued kindness and comments. I'm buckling up for a long, bumpy ride. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

New tutorial :: House Ornaments

Little houses..on the hillside..little boxes full of tick-tacky. Oh wait, these aren't ticky-tacky. They're adorable. I've been watching too much Weeds. Check out the instructions and free printable pattern over at the Pimp Stitch blog. Looking to invest in some real estate? Enlarge the pattern to make all kinds of sizes--a whole city of your very own. Without a single sub-prime mortgage.

TGMO!

A Day at the Races

Last Sunday the girls of Pimp Stitch shared a booth together at the Handcar Regatta. It was a fun day--beautiful weather, great people watching and lots of fun, kooky inventiveness. I didn't bring my camera, so I stole Amy's pics. Thanks, Amy. She's a better photographer than myself, anyways. We decided we should chip in and buy Amy the pink ambulance. Very Pepto. We could be the cool, crafty version of Ghostbusters. It's been a long week recovering from jetlag and the inevitable chaos that results from my being gone..but I'm settling back in and getting my bearings. Oh there they are, buried under seven loads of laundry. Wrinkled.

See you soon.

Pimp Stitch sneak peek..

I'm releasing two new patterns this week on Pimp Stitch. Check 'em out! I've gone girly-girly this go around.

Crayon tutorial & Purse winner!

Hey there! The three-day weekend we just had was not long enough. No sir. But I did manage to squeeze out a tutorial for crayon tinting embroidery projects on the Pimp Stitch blog. While you're there, be sure to check out Amy's new patterns. Mmm..lattes. Finally, (drumroll please!) the winner of the little mustard purse is Erin K! If you're Erin, please e-mail me your snail mail and I'll get your purse on it's way.

Humpday giveaway (one day late)

Happy Wednesday! Now, I realize it's already Thursday..but if you're reading this, you made it! To celebrate that and the fact that school is back in session (woot!) out here, I'm giving away this little fat-bottomed purse. Leave me a comment below and I'll draw a name Saturday. Thanks to all who've stopped by the Pimp Stitch blog and shop. We have new designs available this week!

New Patterns at Pimp Stitch

Hey there--just a little psst! to let you know we've updated Pimp Stitch with some new patterns..there's a teensy bit of Holiday sneaking in so you can get stitching on cute gifts, ornaments, bags, just about anything. And there's still a couple of Holiday kits in our etsy shop, too. Just so you know. And check out my friend Amy's button ring tutorial on her blog. It's awesome. I want to eat them all. Is that weird? Happy Tuesday!

New Holiday Kits!

Check out the Pimp Stitch etsy shop to see our new Holiday-themed kits. I know, it seems a little early for Christmas, right? But just think of all the handcrafted goodies you can embroider for gifts while sweating on the sofa watching the Olympics. Or at least that's what I"ll be doing. Also, don't miss the guest blogger on the Pimp Stitch Blog--none other than Kristen Rask of Plush You! I wish I could visit Seattle for the next Plush You in October, but Pimp Stitch will be representin' at You Bazaar in SF Nov. 2. We'll bring a big bucket of kits and goodies, so put it on your calendar!
