Modern Dog

Well, I never thought my editorial debut would be in a dog magazine, but I couldn't be more proud to be featured in Modern Dog! I haven't picked up the hard copy magazine yet but I just found my Frenchie bodysuit on their home page! Who knows what will be published but this was a joint feature on my products and the new pet area of marthastewart.com. Exciting!

Martha

Update: I've been overwhelmed today by the positive feedback and emails regarding my appearance on Martha. Just a couple of comments for those of you who are new to my site/shop:

- I can personalize ANY of the items you see in my shop with any breed. There is no breed too obscure. If it exists, I can capture it in fabric or on stationery.

- I will have some adorable dachshund Halloween cards up in the shop by early September.

- I will be offering holiday cards and gift tags this year! Check back in late September to order your personalized holiday cards and gift tag with the breed of your choice.

Thanks again for stopping by!
-Christy


I had no idea my episode of Martha would re-re-run for a third time... so I was pleasantly surprised to learn I was syndicate once again. Seems like only yesterday that I was making my way to the Big Apple for the show.

Check out last year's post from the original re-run.

Thanks to all of my great customers who found me from Martha's site. Check back later this fall for more information on an upcoming article featuring the new pet area of marthastewart.com and my dog onesies.

New dachshund wall panels

I know I was just complaining about having waaay too much fabric but I couldn't help myself when I saw this gorgeous watercolor floral print while out shopping this afternoon. I knew it would make the most beautiful wall panels:

Dachshund wall hanging - Set of two 8 x 10 panels:


The print reminds me of artist Kim Parker's work, and I have always been a huge fan of her paintings and textiles. No wonder I was drawn to this fabric.

Wipe out

I have more fabric than I will ever know what to do with so I am trying to come up with some imaginative ways to clear out some of my stash.

Idea #1: These cute little reusable wipes. Measuring about 8.5" square, these are the perfect wipe-all for just about any surface. They'd be great in the diaper bag or used as a stylish wash cloth. Since I don't have kids I plan on using them for dust rags (I mean, hey - if I have to clean I might as well do it in style!).

Set of 3, $12 in my Etsy shop:

More to come as I clear out my stash!

New week, new goods

It's been a busy weekend around here! I had a nice lunch at Pei Wei with my friend Kristin and her adorable baby Grant this afternoon. I also managed to get my virtual booth set up at the new Poppytalk handmade market which opens tomorrow. Don't forget to check it out!

I've listed several new things in the shop including:

Pug bodysuit and pant set in flourish medallion print:


Burp cloth set in cherry and lime polka dot prints:


Just hatched birth announcement in light blue and white polka dots:

I still have so many new fabrics and can't wait to get more goodies listed in the shop over the next week or so.

New fabrics

Long time, no blog! I had a great trip to Atlanta last weekend where I surprised my dear friend Shane at her baby shower. It was a lovely jungle-themed shower and it was so great to catch up with old friends on such a festive occasion. While I was in Atlanta my mom took me to the most amazing fabric store ever and I can't wait to get started adding new things to the shop. Here is a new pug bodysuit - isn't the fabric delicious?
