♥ Comments (10) ♥

Guys, seriously, thanks for all your comments and hellos and notes. I spent the day hiding under my blankie watching a movie or two, and all of them really did make me feel better. I think i tried to thank most of you but then i got back on the serger and i apologize if i didn’t get a reply to every single one. I did appreciate every note, you guys know how to cheer someone up after a craptacular weekend!!

It is Day of the Dead! We have a few day of the dead and loteria inspired bags in the shop!

Ok let’s back up. Halloween. Here’s Zander as Venom, scratch that it’s BLACK SPIDER-MAN AUNTIE JEN!



I spent Halloween at my neighbor’s house. They had to go to a wedding so i baby sat Kelso. And handed out candy.



Note that baby toy. See how he is 400 times the size of it? He won’t walk over it. When he would bark he would literally scare the crap out of the bigger kids who came to the door. “what do you feed that thing?” “Small children, see any that are lost?”

Bad self portrait of us



He has a luxary bed!


How about some shrines? It’s Day of the Dead. I took these at an old celebration for all hallow’s eve/all saint’s day/ dia de los muertos in logan square a long time ago.









Ok. You know you want it. Etsy friday!

First up, a new stitch marker person! Yay. As some of you know we like to have little details on our bags. One is a stich marker for you to remove and use, usually advertising someone out there on etsy. I always buy the markers for y’all. So we now have Ana of Entrelac



She gets the prize for the most elaborate set up for markers i’ve bought yet. I always ask for cards to match the amount of markers i buy from you. And Ana out did herself making them look super cute for you. She has included all different kinds to dress our bags up!



Next, my awesome friend Katy maker of jewelry, sweater clips, and other fine items in here. Has made for me some awesome HELLO KITTY markers!



And if it can’t get better..it does! If you haven’t visited Middle Earth Yarns yet, you simply must. Cairi’s yarn is so super soft, squishy, and very very pretty. Very worth that long wait for my freelance check to come.



premium merino sock yarn in coffee cream, and pumpkin mmmmm orange and brown (total piddleloop colors)



sample in tiger feet

I also got some more markers from her to dress bags up.







I even got special markers for the brown and orange birdie bags we have int he production pile



Cairi wants y’all to know:that she will have some other yarns going up which are UK blue faced leicester priced at 20$ US, but seiously folks her luxary yarn is worth every penny of that 24$ US.
Her stuff is coming straight to you from Scottland, Land of Nessie!! How cool is that? You know you love the lochness monster! (well at least i do!)
Ok. So check out all these fun etsy people, some near and some across the pond. Their stuff is worth saving up for! And have a good weekend. I’ll be sewing up a bunch of knitting needle skull bags and hopfully seeing the Darjeeling Limited with nat.
xoxo (always said x,o, never hug and kiss..type nerd remember?)

p.s. i hope to have a picture of Lucy Dog in her Tu-Tu for y’all. She is adorable. And how often do you see a basset hound in a pink tu-tu? Gotta get a picture in the daylight hours for you!
