We spent spring break visiting my sister, Rachel, and her family in Durham, North Carolina. Spoonflower is headquartered there and I got in touch with the marketing team a few weeks before my trip to see if I might come for a visit. We scheduled a podcast interview with co-founder Stephen Fraser and they invited…
8 Things I’m Loving Right Now
I love recommendations. I learn about so many neat things from friends, both online and off. Today I thought I’d share some things I’m enjoying right now in case you might enjoy them, too. Here we go! 1. School of Sewing. Last week a blog reader sent me a story tip (you can send me…
Craftcation 2015
I’m writing this post on the plane flying from Los Angeles back to Boston after a weekend spent at Craftcation. This is the first conference I’ve attended that’s related to the work I do now. It was a sacrifice for my family for me to leave for four days and I want to first say…
Studio Update
I have a few interesting things from the studio to share today. First, I have a project in the new issue of Mollie Makes (#51). At Thanksgiving an editor there emailed me asking if I might rework the flying squirrel pattern I designed for Wild Olive to create a clothes pin bag for laundry day….
What’s Going on and Some Links
I’ve got a little update and a few things from around the web to share today. 1. Alicia Shaffer was on Good Morning America today. My post about Three Bird Nest has gotten a lot of hits. Here are some stats: That’s 10,397 pageviews on Wednesday, and 13,516 yesterday which is the most traffic my…
Studio Update
I wanted to give you a little update from the studio. The way this business works (and maybe the way all businesses work?) is that a lot goes on behind the scenes months before it’s shown publicly. I’m almost always simultaneously working on several projects for other publications while also working on everything you do…
I’m Working on a New Book of Patterns
In late September I relaunched my Topsy Turvy Doll pattern. I made a new sample and posted new pictures of this doll which has been one of my bestsellers from the beginning. I read every comment on my blog posts and reply to many of them, either here on the blog or via email. On…
A Baby Gift for Stacey
My dear friend, Stacey, from Fresh Stitches is going to have a baby soon. Stacey and I met on Twitter a few years ago and quickly became friends. We both design stuffed animals (hers are crochet and mine are sewn) and we’re both interested in online business. Stacey came to stay with my family a…
Link Pack: Blogging, Sewing, Small Business, and Podcasts
I love Pocket. Whenever I read an interesting article online (or just see the headline of an article I want to read later), I send it to Pocket where it sits, waiting for me. Sometimes when I finally sit down and open Pocket it’s a bit overwhelming. It’s like an amazing magazine of interesting stuff…
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from a T-Rex, a mad scientist, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We get hundreds of trick-or-treaters so we have to load up on candy. And I’ll be wearing a chicken mask when I greet them all. Should be a fun night! ++++ On a totally different subject, this week I’ve gotten several really wonderful…
