Some Truth about rectangles

Comments (5)

Another sneek peek at our big collaboration project. This is actually a collaboration between two etsy people and erin of my dorky best friend, and of course my sister and i. Wanna see more?

how about a little closer?

it’s still coming! i’m just waiting on the package from Meg and I will begin to assemble them and photograph them!

My weekend was great. I saw Hott Fuzz and laughed so hard i cried 4 times. Zander, Wendy, and Adam came up for a visit on Sunday. They had to attend to some interview for adam. So Zander, uncle nat and auntie jennifer all went out for sunday brunch, stopped by Wrigley field, and then played baseball in the park across from nat all day. It was so nice.


Now for a small announcement:
Ok, for those of you who have been wanting sock needle DPN holders. I’m listing them in Etsy later today.
If you want one you should pick one up. Why? Because i won’t be making them anymore.
You see I don’t like making them. Sewing a perfect rectangle that matches up exactly is not very easy nor is it quick. There’s a lot of effort and seam ripping involved. Now there’s seam ripping and loads of time consumed in our other things...but they i can say are fun. And quite frankly they aren’t worth the $5 i make off of each.  I don’t like sewing things that aren’t fun. So no more. So if you want one please look at the picture closely. what you see in the picture is what you get. And i will be happy because i won’t be fussing over these things anymore.
I also have a few more on my table to finish up, there’s about 4 more coming and then thank god., no more.

ok. i have more than 4 on my table. I’ve got another stack. Still they will go up this week. You can contact me via email and discuss one being made for you if you really rally want one later on. I won’t stop doing custom orders. I’m just not tacking a mass load of these for a listing again, ever. Not fun. Not even poke a stick in yer eye fun.

thanks for letting me vent.

Ack!  No more ever - makes me feel like I should buy another one, I like mine so much.  But I don’t blame you for not wanting to do any more sewing on something that’s a pain.  No fun!
Hmmm, are those stitch markers up there?  They look pretty plus look at the cool little boxes they are in.

Oooh, I’m so glad I got mine when I did!  But I can totally identify with not wanting to make something that’s not fun though.  Hey, did you see the tiny addition I made to my DPN wallet?  Stop by here to see.  :)

This has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING, but I though you might want to see this:

I saw this site and thought of you.

Ignore it if you’ve already seen it.

hehe.

that movie looks pretty funny - have to take hubby to go see it!

I can’t imagine trying to do perfect rectangles - when I quilted I fudged most of the time!  :)
