The website may have been quiet for the last couple of months but our lives sure haven’t been! I just wrapped up my Master Gardener training through WSU, which has held my focus for the last three months. For several weekends throughout the summer, I will be stationed at one of my favorite local hangouts- McClendon Hardware, answering questions about local gardening. I’m also looking forward to volunteering at community gardens to help fill our local food banks with fresh produce! More info on that to come…

In the meantime, check out this interesting student documentary on our wonderfully eclectic neighborhood.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve recently launched a “fan page” on Facebook. Come join us and one day you can say you were there when we first started up! Behind the scenes we’re working on the nitty gritty details of putting together a shopping environment on the fabulous site where craft lovers unite- Etsy!

We’re also working on concepts for new product lines and line extensions, including limited quanitites of our market bags using the ever popular Amy Butler fabrics. Stay tuned for more textile excitement- same rat time, same rat channel!

Lach & I wanted to create tags that were as unique as our custom made textiles, so we decided block printing was a great place to start. We used recycled cardboard and hand printed each individual tag.
