Mah New Baby!

Ha! Perhaps we should have a dirty-jeans convention? We can bring the ones we have worn into dust and tell the long stories of their sentimental value to us? It will be like Violet Beauregarde's gum, but with denim, and we can have a prize for whoever has worn them the longest, and that prize will be a giftcard to the nearest laundromat. Have I told you, lately, that I love you?
Because I do. H'Anyways, moving on before I get too sentimental, I have been awaiting a package from Spoonflower containing my newest fabric designs, and they have finally arrived! This is not really as exciting to anyone as it is to me, but to me it is SUPAAAAA EXHIYTING. So, I present to you my newest design, which I haven't given a cute name to, but you are welcome to leave suggestions in the comments. I thought of "Ship-Shape" but it is possibly too cutesy? Who knows, but the fact is that I looooove this fabric. I do not care that it makes me a design narcissist, I really really like this one. Because adorable little boats! So many of them! None of which would really sail at all because I use reference photos extremely loosely! I love! So far, I have just printed it in the black and white and the blue, but I think it will end up in a few other colors, eventually. I went ahead and put it up in my etsy shop, though, if you want to get your sail on!

LOVE the new fabric! Would 'crowded harbor' be a good name?

Angela said...

"Regatta"....

Gorgeous! I kind of like the non-cutesy name you've given it "boat fabric." I mean, what's with cutesy names? And puns? Oi vey.

I would name it 'Sail away with me, honey' and then when David Gray came to sue me for copyright infringement I'd be all, what? This is a thing that I say.

I'd call it, "Watch Out, Troy!!!"...

Love it!

I was about to type the same thing; "Sail On" for a name. This is beautiful. Jenn

I so much enjoyed meeting you last night at the guild meeting! Can't wait to read more of your blog when the kids aren't whining at me.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your fabric!

Cute fabric!

Aren't paint colors fun? That's one of my favorite things to do at work (I work for an architect, so I have a whole box of Sherwin-Williams on my desk). :)

That is a lovely blue. And very cool design. It looks great on the bags too.
