GWI!!
Well, Green with Indie went off without a hitch! If I'd remembered to bring my camera, I'd have lots of lovely pictures to show you, but as it is I'll just have to regale you with text. The weather was lovely (if windy) and so were the participants and clientele. We got to hear some lovely music, see a remade and recycled fashion show (Including a dress decorated with seed pods!), and mingle with St. Louis's like-minded sustainable living crowd.
I met a lot of awesome, stylish people, and spent most of the day with the uproariously funny Lauren B. (whose tattoo-inspired painted goods can be found at the Show Me Handmade store in Crestwood Court) and Kelly Hogan of Hoags Bags, who was made even funnier by the percocet she ingested to help her with her broken foot.
Thanks to the St. Louis Craft Mafia and Webster University for having the vision to put on this event, and remind us (gently) that everything we do to help the planet sustains us all in the end. Cheers to ya.

I Scream for Silkscreens!
Due to my lovely friends Deanne and Nancy (of EvilLittleGirls Fame) I will be able to add screened handmade tees to the line within this month! I made my first screen since starting this business in 2000 (I stopped selling them in 2003 to concentrate on the clothing) in January, and I now have a sample of my screen, which I've made into a bag.
Deanne will be screening this lovely Bouffant cutie onto knit fabric I've provided her, which I will then turn into fashion friendly scoop necked gathered sleeved tees. They should be available for ordering within the month, and will take no longer than the normal 2-3 week manufacturing time!
I have plans to make small batches of new designs throughout the seasons, and each screen will have a limited run so that the designs are always fresh. Look for a lovely peacock design to appear in April!
