Hello, friends!
Thanks so much for the sweet words about Ethan's video tutorial! He loves to hear how much everyone likes it. I think there will be lots more videos coming your way in the near future.
Remember last month when I introduced you to Spud and Chloe? I mentioned that we were working on a little project together, but I couldn't tell the details until the spring catalog went public. Well, it's out, and now I get to share the story! Here's what happened:
Sometime early in the fall, the nice folks over at Blue Sky Alpacas (that's S&C's parent company) happened upon my humble little shop on etsy. They noticed the green bags I had in the shop and liked the funky, nostalgic quality of the vintage fabrics I'd used in them.
So, they contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in doing a line of project bags for Spud and Chloe. Interested? YES! The timing was a little tricky, since the deadline would be right in the middle of holiday festivities, but I could not pass up such an exciting opportunity. It's all just such a perfect fit. Everything the company does matches my own sensibilities perfectly--a match made in Heaven, I think.
Well, onto the bags! The project bags are made from my vintage fabric, and the drawstring is yarn from Spud and Chloe. They are 10x12 inches, the perfect size for toting around a small knitting project. And as if that were not more than enough fun, we had special tags printed that say that each of the bags was handmade by Spud and Chloe's "Aunt" Anna. That's me!
The Spring catalog came out a couple weeks ago, and the back cover looks something like this:

I just can't believe how it all came together. I feel honored and blessed...and a little weird, to be quite honest! I feel like the opportunity is a gift from Above, even though I don't feel like I did anything to deserve such a gift. But then, a true gift isn't something you deserve at all...is it.
