weekend links / 11.

Weekend11

As part of my word WHOLE this year, I want celebrate the work of others by sharing links to my friends, possible friends and complete strangers who are doing great things on the Internet. This is some of the rad stuff I recently saw online…

a great post from Emily about being a working mom.

pantone swatches made with food.

more stunning food photography from Julie's Kitchen.

"Today I will celebrate the calmness and acceptance of what lies ahead." a wise and thoughtful post from Tina.

my friend, Amy, is teaching a free blogging webinar Tuesday 4/8.

love Maggie's tips for styling curly hair.

genius way to display kiddo art.

a year of scraps quilt.

I checked this quilting book out at the library last year and was SO inspired.

the ampersands are now for sale in the shop!  these flew out the door Saturday morning in under an hour. I am thrilled and shocked and grateful. This project was supposed to be a fun and inspiring adventure not an excercise in limited supply and so I am sorry for those that missed them. Thank you, as always, for your support.

    I can’t believe the ampersands are gone already 😦 Well, actually I can believe it, because they were awesome! Would you consider moving back the release time for future projects for those of us that don’t get up so early (ie have no kids – ha!)?

    I love that kiddo art collage! Also, pretty bummed and equally happy for you that those ampersands are already sold out. Congrats though; that’s awesome!

    weekend links are my favorite. I was so sad to miss out, I must have logged on right when they were gone 😦 I missed the last one too, guess I’ll have to set my alarm next time.

    I missed it as well (by just two hours). After adjusting to my initial disappointment, I got really excited that make29 is going so well for you. That said, if you ever decide to do another run of the ampersands, I’d be happy to be a part of that run selling out. 🙂

    It’s awesome to see this unfold for you. I’m glad it’s working out. I’m just going to have to get myself together enough to be at my computer for the next launch to get something for myself. Congrats!

    Dear Elise,
    have you ever thought about putting those “bestsellers” from make29 in your shop after the year is done? After reading most comments I am sure the ampersand will be an ongoing bestseller. To make it different from the original it could be a different size (10″)? different stain etc. just a thought. I love your blog and reading about what you come up with next. Congratulations!

    I’m so glad I decided to set my alarm to wake me on Saturday. And I was THRILLED to have these in my mailbox on the east coast yesterday evening. I can hardly wait to see what you unveil next month.
