Thursday Finds are something I try to do every week with new things I find out about, books, songs, whatever really..
As you can imagine I buy loads of fabric. I’ve resisted going the wholesale route because – well – then you have to commit to a whole bolt and a particular designer and I would get so bored of the fabric by the end of the roll. There are certain fabrics that I will never, ever get bored of – like Folklore and The Sprites of Tillebrook – but I’m pretty fickle. Especially because so much yummy new fabric comes out so very often. So – I buy my fabric retail – trying hard to support mama businesses as much as I can. I’ve spoken many times about Cynthia over at Fabricworm but this particular ‘Thursday Find’ is for my Canadian friends. Cheryl , a mama in Ontario, has just opened Pink Panda Fabric. She currently has a great selection of fabrics and is getting even better fabrics in soon (in my opinion, but I’m a floozy for Japanese imports which is what she’ll be getting in soon). Anyhow, no insane custom charges (why so much for fabric – really?), local shipping – what’s not to love?
Speaking of fabrics – I got in a bunch of knit and FOE especially for making doll underwear. I had to show these new Strawberry underpants off – so flippin cute!
This is not new – so not new – but I really have fallen in love with Facebook. I’ve had a personal account for years and, once the initial friending everyone from highschool is over – I kind of fell off the wagon. I’ve had a Bamboletta page for a while, but was pretty inconsistent with it. But these past few weeks I have fallen in love with my page. Customers post their pictures, I can comment and post random things throughout the day and have ‘kind of’ conversations with you all. It’s so great! I’m on Twitter too – but that just seems like it’s so random. Maybe I just haven’t really given it a ‘go’ but it feels like it requires more effort then I can give right now.
Okay – that’s it for tonight. (here is some ‘random-ness’) I am going to post another doll giveaway very soon and it’s a little guy doll named Harry. I’ll be sending out a newsletter about it. I have 5 dolls up for ‘adoption’ for tomorrow and some new pj’s. We are working on some new doll clothing designs – I am having way too much fun with this! Any suggestions? Here’s a pic of the new dolls in the tree this afternoon.
