A HUGE SURPRISE!

Today when we went into our local quilt shop, I saw a roll of fabric that looked startlingly like my blue Pearl Bracelet from Red Letter Day.

On closer examination I realized IT WAS MY PEARL BRACELET FROM RED LETTER DAY. IN A LAMINATE.

David (the president of Andover) had talked about doing this at Spring Market, and I knew that the fabric had been printed... but it literally wasn't until I walked into It's A Stitch that I realized that it had actually been made, sold and shipped. So I bought a yard and a half of my own laminate to try and get a few little projects together before market next week. Another last minute thing you know...

So, if you don't already have this best selling dream in your shops then contact Andover or your Rep and get your Pearl Bracelet on.

Cake Party

I know that a lot of you have been very worried. Worried about whether or not there was going to be a cake party. Well you can rest easy from here on out. Because there is one. SO for all of you market goers and friends come to my Semi Annual Cake party.

This years cake is sure to impress all of your senses. Including your sense of humor.

When? Saturday 1 PM

Where? George R. Brown convention center second floor (specifics TBT [to be tweeted])

Who? Any one attending Fall Market who wants to sit down and eat a piece of cake with this one [pointing to myself].

Also, as cake party grows, so does the cost. If you are a loyal cake party fan or are just looking forward to this treat then feel free to donate a couple of dollars to the cake pan.

Thanks so much everyone! I can't wait to see you all at Market!

ps. I am still doing an Eats guide. It just is taking a while. Obviously.

Winners, go two.

I had written out this elaborate post yesterday, with cute interviews from some of my bloggy peeps about why they blogged, and what type they were... and originally, they were going to be posted every day from the time I posted the contest, until the time I announced the winners.

First the internet went out

then I made some major decisions, and had some major incredible conversations and needed space away from the computer

which brought me to yesterday, and then the power went out.

my cute post, was obviously not meant to be.

So without further delay here are the winners...(winners seems like a harsh word to me right now...)

Ok peeps, email me your adresses, and I will send along your prizes.

Also, if you were to still try and use the discount code LOVELIZZY, to save 15% in my shop... it would probably still work... through Sunday, since it took a while to get the winners announced...

Later today, a Houston Food guide, for all of you Quilt Market peeps looking for places to eat... whether you are a vegetarian or a meatasarus-rex. I'll tell you where to go.

honor it.

Contest ended on Friday. I still haven't picked the winners. I've been on a different planet... but it's been a good thing. I have constantly been feeling like I am closer and closer to tapping into something important and special in my work, and instead of shutting it down to get more things done, I am trying to honor the space and pick up the pieces when it feels like I am in the clear for a little bit. Does that make sense? I will be back to normal tomorrow.

with winners.

yes, they are both wearing Castle Peeps bandanas.
