So here’s the collection. The colors are a little softer than I was expecting, but not bad for the first go-around. I think the palette is more spring than summer, so that gives me time to make something seasonally appropriate with them. I’ll probably stack and re-stack them in different combinations before I ever put a pair of scissors to them.

Thanks to  my friend KeriAnne, her set of Pro MX reactive dyes, and a little advice from The Lazy Dyer I’m hooked on hand-dying fabric.  These are from my first-ever dye party. Potato chips, good music, good company and amazing colors.  Sweet!

I’ll show the results sometime soon.

Its full steam on my spring and summer collection. Here’s a sneak peek at one of my newest prints.  Look for in new products coming soon to my Etsy shop and at the upcoming Twist Fair May 8 & 9.

A few weeks ago my website was hacked. All my blog posts (since I started in 08) and my content pages (about,  wholesale and contact info,  product care info) were erased.  Its such a bummer to know that some people  have nothing better to do than mess up other people’s websites. At any rate, I’m in the process of getting that info back up – and I’m still making things and smiling. Take that you hackers!
