Etsy Friday

I haven’t done one in a long while. Sorry. Just busy busy like worker bees. I wanted to thank everyone who participated in our update yesterday and made the Pedigree Adoption Fund drive from our bags a success! Lucy Dog is very proud of all of you. If she could she would shake and give you all a slobber shower in total Lucy Dog fashion.

first up i have a very funny shirt. I think most of you will understand why i had to have it. I first saw redpaperrecord at Holiday Renegade in Dec. She didn’t have the size i needed in a women’s shirt. But she messaged me the minute she did, like a month later. I’m suprised she remembered me. Here is my AWESOME shirt. In a terrrible bathroom mirror shot. I also included two so you can totally see my chococat shower cap in the background.

So how about some new stitch marker people! Stitch marker people you say? For those who don’t know, as one of the small details i like to include with our bags is a small stitch marker on each bag with the business card attached so you know where you can buy some just like it. I BUY these to promote people i like. Some people are really excited about it and some like to even add extras in which is always graciously accepted. I find it fun and yet functional to offer this to our bags. Plus it dresses them up a bit.

how about these pretty little metal ones from Redpanada

then there’s these cute little ones from Yarn Pig/ Bea Binney

and last there’s some cookies by Kish Crafts

So some of you know i am a graphic designer when i am not sewing. You can see some patterns i’ve layed out for people here.

One of the patterns went on sale in etsy. Side on Mitts pattern and The Mitts Kit are available in Cairi’s shop. She not only designed some interesting mitts you knit sideways, but she dyes lovely squishy yarn that is worth every penny.

I also got some beautiful jewelry from Mark Poulin/marmar. I have loved his jewelry from seeing it in Hazel a boutique by Nat’s. Then it was all over when i found him on etsy. Nat got me the dog and kitty metal pendants. I purchased the reversable one in the middle.

I also got some jewelry from Nat for xmas and my b-day. From Katheyn Reichart. I love her custom stuff very much. The ring says live dangerously cause i never make a grocery list, nor did i own a knit picks dpn gauge but owned their dpns that were like 2mm, 2.25mm, 2.5mm,2.75mm and they’d all get mixed up. haha
Thanks Lesa for that xmas gift by the way.

Ok so go out and hunt yourself down some great etsy stuff!!

Happy Valentine’s Day.

This would be my valentine, Nathaniel. He is the best boyfriend in the whole wide world. He is wearing his crown on Christmas Day. and we’re being silly. But I just wanted to say I Love You (a lot more than some) and I will just keep letting it slide that you do this face in every single picture ever taken of us.

Piddleloop Sewing Team Valentines Day Extravaganza

♥ Comments (8) ♥

We are having an update tomorrow, Feb. 14th, at 3pm central time. We took every bit of the lucy dog fabric we had left and made bags out of it. We also have japanese fabric wiener doggies in the city and paw prints. These bags that are all about dogs will be listed as 5$ more. We are making a Donation to the Pedigree Adoption Drive. (I’d link but their site is down for updating you can google it for now) During the Westminister dog show, they stated they were matching dollar for dollar the amount raised for adopting dogs. Lucy dog our basset hound is adopted into our loving home, from a breed specific rescue. We really just wanted to do something good for dogs left behind, or surrendered out there. So for every dog bag sold tomorrow, 5$ will be donated. I am keeping one of the Lucy Dog bags and I am making a donation as well. If anyone wants to participate in our donation drive please contact me and i will send you the paypal address to make your donation to, and i will add it into our lump sum.

We have other bags that are for the cat people out there like this cute Meow bag:

Or this Japanese fabric Hedge Hog Bag

We’ll have project bags too

We also have new stitch marker people that will be featured on our bags this update. I will be trying to do an etsy friday to share them with you. See you at 3pm CST tomorrow. Be there or be square.

Uno the 15 inch Beagle won the Best In Show! 1st time in the 132 year history the beagle won a best in show at Westminister! Samuel would like to say thanks to hounds everywhere for kicking ass. She’s glad the slobbery basset hound was paid no attention this go around!
