See What I Mean?
Craft is the new cool… I read it somewhere on the cyber journey I just took. If you read my About page, you know that I’m just discovering how vast the craft blogs are out there. I found Spoonflower after reading about how How About Orange started designing fabric. And I think I found How About Orange because of my new friend, Angry Asian. I think Angry Asian found me because I left a comment for Homemade by Jill way back when.
See what I mean? “Circles and triangles and now we’re hanging out with your new girlfriend.” And I’m not giving a complete list of where all I went, so who knows where I got that first line.
The real reason for my post is to say that I signed up to be on the waiting list to be invited to join Spoonflower. Since it’s still in BETA– I don’t really know what that actually means, but from what I gather is what a website is before it gets really and truly launched… like an egg before it hatches… it’s in egg mode right now. Apparently after it hatches you’ll be able to just sign up. So I’m getting in before the yolk becomes a chick, if you will. Spoonflower will then send me an invitation to join. Sounds pretty elite… you must be invited to the party. Some of the 2000 or so people who are already signed up have been leaving their designs and projects they made on flickr for the world to see. Kinda cool.
I’m always on the look out for cute strawberry stuff… what if I designed my own strawberry fabric? Intriguing, yes?
My reasoning to join is that even if I never design one thing to be put to fabric at least I’ll have the option through this new company. And if you ever hear me complain about not finding any cute strawberry fabric you can all tell me to shut my pie hole and make it myself!
