Hmmmm, it would seem that working, trying to help run a new business, being a full-time mom, taking 2 classes, trying to maintain some semblance of a relationship with my husband, and avoiding a total disaster in our house seems to be getting in the way of blogging lately. And that's a real bummer because I do love blogging... So, I'm trying to re-prioritize, reorganize, and re-think how I'm going about time management these days, and I hope to make some headway! I'm posting far too infrequently for my taste, and I hope I can find a way to change that very soon!
Today's post is a bit of a teaser, but I'm hoping it will be a bit fun anyway! I spent a few hours last week making the latest little promotional items for superbuzzy orders (the keychains are all gone for now!), and had a ton of fun. Our house seems to be regularly invaded by swarms of bees these days, but this swarm was particularly endearing! I printed bees on our printer using fabric that had been pre-treated with Bubble Jet Set:
and I cut the little guys into patches:
I'm hoping these will be fun for folks to use as appliques or patchwork pieces on different projects... What do you think? Any suggestions/requests for future promotional gifts?
As an aside, I hope to add a tutorial soon for those of you who may be interested in using Bubble Jet Set, but haven't yet tried it.
Mariko and I are on the edge of our seats waiting for a big order to arrive, so we hope to have an update by this weekend! Stay tuned, and sign up for the newsletter if you haven't already!
Cute idea with the jet set. I'd love to see a tutorial.
I am glad Superbuzzy is going well, but I do miss your blog! I check your site every day on my rounds of blog-lurking, and am often disappointed when there is no new news. Your is the first one I stop at because I use your links to other bloggers!
Anyway, you're bookmarked and I'm on your newsletter list, so I'm not going anywhere! All the best in figuring out what works best!

You are one busy girl!
I would *love* a bubblejet tutorial! I've thought about trying it, but really have no clue.

I know how you feel in the too much to do, too little time department. Have you seen the website www.basecamphq.com ? It's really just one big online to-do list but I found it's good to keep things on task, especially if there's more than one person involved. Good Luck!!
