I’m in love with this new Namaste Bag. Have you seen the Newport Bag? And I’m so not a big purse girl as I’ve had this Haiku Bag as my purse for the last year. But there is something about this bag I just adore. Maybe it’s because I know that most stores haven’t received their shipments yet so I know I was one of the first which makes it extra-special-cool swag that I want it? I got one in charcoal and used it yesterday and got a ton of compliments. I mean look!
She looks so happy with her bag doesn’t she? I also received new shipments of all of the other bags in the Cali Collection in every color including the new Peacock color. Look how pretty this one is.
I almost kept that one too. It’s hard running a shop when you get cool stuff in all of the time. You just want it all! Not that I’m complaining! So go grab your bags and don’t hesitate because they will more than likely be gone pretty quickly. I only got 2 -4 in each color because I wanted to make sure I got each color in each bag. There’s other new stuff up in the shop and new GoKnit Pouches will be here within the next few days to replenish that stock.
What else? Well I’m off to San Fran next week to teach my dye class. I’m really excited for that. I also get to hang out with Stephen and Mike and possibly whip up a podcast while I’m there too! If you haven’t listened to them yet what in the world are you waiting for??? Um. It’s been super hot here and I’m melting. I felt like I about died yesterday when I went for a run. I’m so not kidding. See?
Time to go start packing up some orders. I know it’s 6:30am but this is when I usually start my day. At least I can do it in my pajamas right?
I hope you have a great weekend my friends!

Check out these totally cool gauges handmade out of bamboo by KaratStix! I am one of the very few to carry this cool, new swag. The gauge has been made using a laser engraving and cutting machine to ensure highly accurate measurements. It is then lovingly sanded and embellished by hand with colored pencils and coated with a satin polyurethane finish and polished to a silky feel. I am carrying 5 different styles and seriously, it’s the coolest swag I’ve seen in a while!
The shop is almost completely restocked. I’m just waiting on a few things. I should have more Namaste bags back in the shop within a few weeks. Those babies are hot! The tape measures, pattern tamers, Clover notions, and kitchener dogtags have all been restocked. I’m just waiting on getting back in more stitch savers. A new GoKnit Pouch order will be placed next week too.
I will leave you with a shot from a photography shoot I did yesterday with our good friends and their 9 day old baby girl, Parker. I’ve been doing more and more professional shoots lately and am loving it. Cynthia and her husband got up the beginnings of my photography website and it’s looks amazing so far. I just need to work on my prices so we can finish it up. I guess I haven’t really talked about that too much here but it’s yet another thing that’s been keeping me busy. I have two shoots next week already booked. I’m really enjoying it.

the gratitude I feel towards the fiber community. With almost 70 donations we raised a significant amount of money. I’m not going to announce the total but just know that it is absolutely enough money to make a huge difference in Symeon’s life right now. You should all be so freaking proud of what you’ve come together and done for Symeon and her family. Seriously. So after putting in all of the names into a spreadsheet and adding in the extra names per every $5.00 put in, I then used the random sequence generator to get our 4 winners. They are:
Anna - the Heal My Hands gift pack
Michele - Rowing Home skein
Lynae - $50.00 gift certificate
Elizabeth - $50.00 gift certificate
I have emailed all of the winners. Thank you again so much. Every single one of you. Y’all won some major karma points this week.
Pippi would also like to share the following words -
I would like everyone to know how completely overwhelmed I am by the love and generosity I’ve been bestowed. And how this whole experience has given me the gift of hope, which is priceless. Having hope and feeling cared about has lifted so much of the weight. Knowing that I have friends that would go to such lengths to help us out fills me and humbles me. Mere words do not express the gratitude I feel, so trying to write it down is tough.
We love you girly! I’m so glad I was able to help move the troops too. Hopefully you still don’t want to kill Amy and me.
xoxo
