Hey gals! I need your help. I'm developing a cute, unique line of home and personal sewn accessories for the lady who wants something both useful and stylish. I am definitely going to offer quilted coasters, cloth napkins, placemats, funky potholders, and large totes. I've been perfecting designs but have a bit to go until they are just right. I'd love to know what other products you would like offered. What everyday practical items do you want to see?
On a side note, I have a little bet going with my hubby that I can get 150 subscribers by June 1. I'm at 110. If I win, he's going to geek out my blog (make the middle section of my blog much larger so pictures are easier to see, make the sidebars easier to navigate, etc.). Help a girl out, will ya?
PS - I am heading to the Moda warehouse tomorrow morning for the first time and can hardly contain my excitement. I can't wait to see it in person :) I wonder if they frown upon nuzzling the fabric? I may not be able to resist.
PPS - The grandparents are keeping both girls overnight so I'm going to bed early to get a full night's sleep. The first in 3 months. Woo hoo!
PPPS - what does "PS" stand for and are "PPS" and "PPPS" grammatically appropriate?
how neat that you are working on a line of home accents. can't wait to see what you come up with.
i am so excited to see and hear about your trip to the moda warehouse. i can't believe i didn't know it was in dallas. i will def be visiting soon. thanks for the info.

Have a GREAT time at Moda!! BTW....in reference to the "PS" question....it stands for "Post Script" - a message appended at the end of a letter after the writer's signature. Although they are not commonly accepted, PPS (post post script) and PPPS (you can do the math) do grammatically "make sense".? My linguist husband would remind you that in the English Language you are successful in using the language if people understand your meaning and, in this case, I believe they do!!

I compare it to dynamics markings in music. f = forte (loud); ff=fortissimo (very loud); and fff=fortississimo which = super loud! And post just means "after"-- don't see why you can't make "after comments" as many times as you want!
By the way, I want to order a 12 ft table runner with 10 matching placemats and coodinating napkins for the NM house! Let's talk about it!

Ps--- loved having the girls! Will do it any time we can!

Ah, post script. That makes sense! Thanks for the education lesson, Candace :)
Mimi - the girls had a blast. Kate fell asleep and is still sleeping on our couch. You wore her out! We'll defintely figure out something for NM.

How about aprons?? I know I use them and would love to find some cute, chic....affordable ones! The ones I see in the store, are stylish and mod, but way to costly! I sure like Roz's idea of a table runner, placemats and napkins. I don't think out of all the years I have set my dinner table, I have ever had a complete....matching set!!! Love the idea. Missed you at MOPs, but can understand why you skipped! Hope you had fun! Sorry I missed the 1st McKinney Marthas, but heard from the gals it was a total success! Way to go Jenny!! xoxo, Jamie

I was going to suggest aprons, too. That would be really cute. Maybe the cute retro kind that is just from waist down (like Rachel used to wear at Central Perk).
You could do throw blankets, throw pillows, cafe curtains. What about a cute little quilted wallet/clutch thing?
I'm excited about your new endeavor!

So do you want me to have James sign up all his geek buddies, too? Are you just talking about people who have you in their RSS feeders?
Posted by: Melinda | May 04, 2009 at 08:23 PM
Aprons seem to be a popular request, I'll definitely be adding those!
Melinda, 150 is 150, right? :) Yep RSS feeders. Much love to the geeks!
