I have so much fun meeting everyone at Stitches each year. For three days people stop by to tell me why they love their Jordana Paige bag so much. It’s really great to get to hear from you. This year I decided to record your comments. Here’s a little video. Thank you to everyone who let me record you. For you camera-shy folks, I’ll get you next year!

sweater challenge day 28 pretty in pink

sweater challenge

Sweater: Charlie by Jordana Paige
Pants: Express
Shoes: Bakers
Shirt: Target
Flower pin: Charlotte Russe
Bag: The Knitter’s Messenger Bag by Jordana Paige

I love the combination of pink and grey. It’s so soft and feminine. Every day I use The Knitter’s Messenger Bag in Pink/Black Tweed to carry my laptop from my home to office and back. As I put this outfit together I didn’t even think about how awesome it would look with the messenger bag. I picked up my bag to head out the door, looked down and got really excited. So cute!

This is also a great reminder for me to tell you that The Knitter’s Messenger Bag in Pink/Black Tweed has been discontinued and only a few remain. It will probably be sold out by the end of the year. So, here’s your warning. If you’ve been wanting one, act now before they’re gone.

And, speaking of pink…did you see what Debbie Stoller chose for her Bust Gift Guide?

Nine AM tomorrow the new satchels and messenger bags will be here! It’ll be a full truck load, but my parents will be driving up to help me get in all in the warehouse.

Everytime a new shipment comes in I stare at all the boxes, which come all the way to the door, and get a bit of a sick feeling. I always think, “that’s a lot of product to sell, I hope I can do it again.”

Each time the sickness gets a bit stronger, as the warehouse I need gets larger. But, the confidence gets stronger too. I just have to remind myself of how great it will feel to roll up the door in a couple months and be able to see the back of the warehouse again.

All the labels and receipts are ready to go. I hope to get most of the pre-orders shipped tomorrow. At the very latest they’ll be shipped by Monday.

felt birdsAren’t these the cutest felted birds? I must make a dozen. I’m also adding Ariann by Chic Knits to my list of projects to make. Love it! I’ve never made a pattern by Bonne Marie, but judging by the photos, her patterns seem to be very meticulous.
