LizzyHouse

A quick hello.

I have about 4 posts for you. Not right yet though. Things are crazy town USA around here, and my little sister might have her baby in a couple of hours or 2 weeks... also, I'll be in LA next week... and there is new fabric, and new patterns and what have you. 

I'm dropping in this afternoon to share a kickstarter project with you!

I know some cool cool peeps in a band called Matteo, and they are so cool their whole band plays traditional Chinese instruments mixed with western instruments in a contemporary way. Well, they've been invited to be artist in residence at the Sichuan University in China, and they need a little help to get there, and I think to pay their videographers so they can record the experience... which is something that I am excited about, because I'm a process person. 

Their music is beautiful and interesting and a little haunting. Won't you chip in? The kickstarter closes in 7 days! 

  talk to you soon! 

Even Better!!!

My Fiber Farm Peeps are starting a magazine. It's called, By Hand. I am so excited for them, and to be a part of it, and that they are creating a publication that I so want to read. 

They have done a kickstarter, and well met there goal! But to create more content, have a better web presence, and get to print faster we'd all like to do just a little more! 

They have fantastic gifts for their backers, but I am going to sweeten the deal. There are 4 days left, and if you pledge more than $45, you will get everything that they are sending you, as well as a fancy gift from me. There will be a pattern, some fabric, a little stationery, and a couple of other things... when did I ever send someone a gift that wasn't the bomb dot com. 

Lets be serious here. Never. I never sent a gift that didn't knock someones socks off. 

So. When you pledge, leave a comment saying that Lizzy Sent You. Like a speakeasy. 

*** update! you can leave a comment here if you pledge, and I will just verify with my Peeps, and get your info! Thank you, already! 

 

Help a Peep out!

Hey Peeps, it's your Peep, Lizzy.

My good friend (peep) Alexia is doing a kickstarter project to kick off her pattern company, Green Bee Pattern Co. and she could use your help!

There are just 4 days left, and if donate you are essentially just preordering a pattern for the cost that you putting up to help a sister out. I love kickstarter, and I love Alexia, and I would love love love to see her project get funded so she can get to being so awesome on bigger scale!

thanks, peeps.

check out her kickstarter page here!

Help a sister out!

Ok, so I think posting about KickStarter is going to be a regular thing of mine. Not only do I think it's awesome, but I think it's an incredible opportunity to support our artist community fulfill their dreams, grow their businesses, and hopefully stay out of debt, simply by investing some dollars for a guaranteed return. I'm OK with that.

We helped P-Town get funded, now let's help Jen get funded!

Sophie and Lilli is run by the Awesome Jen Vallez! I met Jen through twitter, and we have been able to support, help and comfort each other through lots of things over the past 2 years. It's amazing that we haven't met in person!

She makes these incredibly sweet dolls, and she has been MAKING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM BY HAND, but the incredible thing is that her sweet peeps have garnered some attention, and they've got to grow up a little so that they can be carried in department stores all over the country. With this opportunity, you have the chance to

A. Support Jen's independent business growth efforts

B. Support the Vallez family over all!

C. Support manufacturing in the USA!!!!!!!

D. Make some little girl really happy when you give them the doll you receive for being a backer.

E. You get to be awesome.

I meant what I said about this being a regular thing. I promise to post about projects I believe in and invest, not because I am Rich Lizzy Pennybags (not even close), but because I need support too, and I feel like I receive it from my friends, family, and you my sweet readers on a such a regular basis.

This way we can lift each other where we stand (stole that from Dreamy Elder Uchtdorf).

So let's go get em!
