Snow...

After the crazy weekend when my heat broke (and was fixed the next morning) and I had two sales in Cincinnati, I am back!

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I am trying to plan a little dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. Hopefully it's not too snowy....

I am also working on a few new projects, custom orders, etc. I think I have finally found the perfect fabric for my friend Amy's cloak. It's not easy to find thick wool in America. Guess I got spoiled in England....

Chimp Jewelry at MONA UK and Spain

purpleandlime always gives 5% of the price of all animal pieces to MONA, a chimp charity in Spain and the UK. They rehabilitate abused and neglected chimpanzees and give them a better life. My mother and I did a working weekend there a few years ago, and I have loved MONA and chimps ever since.

Recently I was asked to send some of my laser-cut acrylic chimp necklaces to a friend who run's the charity's UK branch. She also wanted earrings, so that was fun as well! I was happy to send these to MONA for a very discounted rate in order to raise money for the chimps. They will be sold this Sunday in London.

Good morning kittens! I'm trying to market my company in different ways. Hence, the blog you are reading now, and the Gift Certificate I created today on my etsy.com store.

I would love feedback from you! xoxo purpleandlime

I have been enjoying making these quilted pouches. Wow, I now have a lot of respect for quilters, it is not easy! I love the 60-feel print and the flowers are so pretty. They cheer me up in the Chicago winter!
