It was great! Isaac brought me chocolate cake, mom brought me chocolate cake, and Nica made me a bouquet of chocolate-rose cupcakes ala Carrie -- delicious and entirely photo-worthy. (Thank you s'much!) Add to that a great birthday party put on by my sisters, Julia & Merris, and a serious spread of mexican food. I was far too busy eating chocolate and tacos to blog about it.
Other than eating cake round the clock, let's see, I've been busy batting at a variety of moving objects. Life is a pinata. One feisty, swingy pinata.
One project I'm excited to announce is my partnership with Peking Handicraft to produce several housewares collections, including aprons, dishtowels, pillows, and more. I'll post photos once samples are in hand. Right now we are aiming for several January releases.
On the pattern front, I'm introducing two new mini patterns this month. LOVE them both. One is the awesome lunch bag pattern I mentioned before and the other is a great little hat pattern -- a sort of mixture between a 1920s cloche and a hippie beret. Patterns & instructions are complete; I just need to wrap up the covers.
I'm also toying with a blog theme idea; tell me your take on Sketchtember.
Doodle-loo, scribble too -- whoop-di-do.
