Tula Pink

What does a girl who gets paid to design fabric do with her free time? That’s right, she designs more fabric. I stumbled onto this Spoonflower blog a while back and my head was all a buzz with ideas. Spoonflower is a site where you can upload your own designs and they digitally print limited quantities of that fabric. It’s a blast. I can make all kinds of wacky stuff. I just had to try it out. I plan on using this site to make all of the things that Moda would never let me get away with. It’s not their fault, how are you going to sell thousands of yards of tuna cans with my name on them?

My first print… ta da! They are Tula cans, not tuna but Tula. I think it’s hilarious. So there are really big cans and little bitty cans. A girl needs options. The big ones are about 12 inches across and the little ones are around 3 inches.

So go check it out. Oh, and please don’t stop buying my fabric even though you can make your own now. Thanks.

Hello happy contestants! You have made me very happy. I feel so popular like a cheerleader with perfect hair and tons of lip gloss. If I weren’t a chubby brunette with a secret sci-fi obsession I might actually believe this little fantasy.

Before I announce the winner I am going to ask you to sit through a review of my findings. This was something of a market research scheme for my future fabric groups. I want to know what you want. Why? because I’m a giver. The clear favorite was the noble dog. This group was also the most specific, almost every dog vote was followed by a particular breed and of the 46 votes for dog there were 22 different breed faves. So I declare this group a dedicated one. The close second coming in at 35 votes was for the cat. These were followed closely by the owl, the giraffe and the bird. I have to say that my favorite was probably the one vote for unicorn followed by a near vote for “husband” as their favorite animal. All in all I am impressed by the diversity. So thanks again for playing my game.

The moment you have been waiting for is finally here. The randomly selected winners are as follows:

Tote Bag

Stacey: Owl, Former Dolphin lover in recovery

Charm Packs

Theresa: Red & White Tabby Cat

Krista: Flamingo (the pinkest pick in the bunch)

Melissa: Cat

Rachel: Moose

You lucky kids need to send your addresses to jenny at tulapink dot com. They are packaged and ready to go, all they need is a place to land!

Thanks again for playing my game and helping me out. You are the best!

It’s a wrap. This contest is now closed. Thanks for playing!

In an effort to appear more popular I am offering to buy your love with free stuff. Okay so that’s not the only reason. I haven’t been doing this blog thing for long but so far it’s been nice. I have met some awesome people and found other amazing blogs that I would have never found otherwise. Most of all I have read some really nice things about myself from people other than my mom, it’s very validating. So in response to your overwhelming generosity I am giving things away.

I spent my whole Sunday working up some goodies for y’all and I hope you like it. The first thing I am giving away is a lovely tote bag made from Full Moon Forest tree trunk stripes. I stitched on a little squirrel at the bottom because I love you all that much. The second thing I am giving away are 4 charm packs of my new line Nest, in little bags that I made all by myself. So let me be clear on this there are 5 winners in all (don’t be fooled, you are all winners in my heart). These are some pretty good odds.

How do you win these fabulous prizes? It’s so easy it’s almost criminal. All you have to do is tell me what your favorite animal is. Leave a comment and the winners will be chosen at random. I will announce the 5 winners on August 17th. Just so you know… there will be no favoritism shown towards any animals, we are equal opportunity animal appreciators here in Pinkerville.
