dear internet,

my new studio is HUGE. And it requires a table identical to the table in the photo above. Have you seen this table?

Please help!

Dear etsy,

Seriously. we are not two year olds. How about giving us some actual stats instead of “here’s how to calculate your Hearts-to-Sale ratio!“. That’s sort of like a “how to calculate how many people in the grocery store will be wearing red shirts to orange hairbands today” ratio.

Grumble.

dear apple,

thank you for adding an app store for the ipod touch. All Tetris, all the time!

Yours in video-game nerdiness,

Part of the pre-move purge is not just getting rid of junk that we don’t want to move, but also tidying up my studio, giving away craft supplies that no longer have a use for me, and OMG clearing out the TON of inventory of camera and guitar straps that I’ve been building up here so the movers don’t have to carry them.

SO – from now until I start boxing everything up on August 5th, all of my inventory will be on sale in an effort to find it a new home that isn’t mine!

Camera straps are temporarily $15 (from $22), and guitar straps are $25 (from $34). There’s a bunch of new patterns that haven’t been posted yet, but are on their way in the next day or two. So check them out!

lots of secret projects wrapping up here at mintyfresh hq these days as we prepare to move (and prepare to pack!).

Today I got to gift one of them – a baby quilt for lana‘s soon to arrive little one. It always feels so good to send them off to their new homes. Yay!

This one has the last of the scraps for now, which I’ve tried to identify one by one on Flickr. One day I will be fabric organized and be able to name them all. ONE day. This one was extra special since I used a swatch of my spoonflower fabrics *and* the marimekko fabric I brought back with me from Vancouver.

My new studio is much bigger than my current one, and I’m hoping it affords me the chance to stretch out (and finish!) the big projects I’m working on for this fall.
