Despicable You?

Yes, the minions seem to be everywhere these days, but when I saw the fabric, I couldn’t resist–they’re so dang adorable! They’re pig-piling (minion-piling?) all over the front and back of this simple tote, and, of course, their favorite bananas are there to keep them focused!

Quilted exterior, fully lined, two interior patch pockets–available now.

Yellow Dog!

So, here’s how it happened. My fabulous friend Jen has this completely crazy yellow lab. She (the dog, not Jen) is nearly inexhaustible and one of the prime objects of any given day is to tire her out. This is not a task for the faint of heart (or the out of shape). Once the mission has been accomplished, she (Jen, not the dog) can relax, and, at least for ten minutes or so until she (the dog, not Jen) gets her second wind, work on one of her (Jen’s, not the dog’s) amazing art objects, furniture, or fiber projects. Or brew some beer. Or maybe even enjoy one herself. These delicious beverages came to be known as “Yellow Dog Beer” in her (the dog’s, not Jen’s) honor. And so, in honor of them both (Jen AND the dog) I designed the Yellow Dog Brewing Co. bottle-six-pack cooler. Cotton fabric exterior and lining, insulated core, zip closure, carry handle on top. Keeps beverages (or lunch) cold for approximately five hours. Contact me to get your own today–many fabrics and custom label designs available!

Feeling Sheepish?

Well, maybe a little–it’s been so long since I posted. And no matter how hard I try to prepare each year, or how many times I swear I’m going to be more prepared next year, the holiday season always seems to spring upon me as through it has been hiding behind the door, waiting for it’s chance to scare the living daylights out of me. Sigh.

So, if, like me, you have that dear friend, cousin, aunt, brother’s girlfriend for whom there wasn’t time to find that perfect gift, consider our sheepish friend, Norman. He’s a Studio E exclusive and can be placed on bags, T-shirts, sweatshirts, almost anything fabric. Your choice of colors. A great way to show your appreciation and sense of humor at the same time!
