Final Stockings of the Season

  • November 29, 2010

I had a plan, then it all went awry when I got a migraine that lasted three days. So, plans change, and we adapt. I’m going to offer the same items, just on a bit of a different schedule. I pulled colorway ideas from the Facebook Fan page, everyone had some great ideas!

Tickety Bu 2010 Stockings:

  • November 29, The Fifth Monday, stocked
  • December 9, Fresh with Mezzo Bu in Mother Earth, Sugar Plum, Strata and Lagoon, Cuddle Throws in Almond Mocha and a brand new black and white colorway called Ink Blot.
  • December 13, Necessitae (previews will be up by Wednesday) with Cadara Bu, Bitty Bu and Cuddle Blankets in three colorways — Lucky, Dried Hydrangea and Earth Rainbow.

I also have more Cadara Bu just stocked on Etsy and will be adding some Bitty / Bitey Bu sets as well.

Happy Shopping and Happy Holidays!

Tickety Bu is on Etsy!

  • November 21, 2010

If you haven’t noticed, Tickety Bu has made it’s way to Etsy! I have only been wanting to start up my shop there for about 2 years, but it kept getting pushed to the bottom of the to do list. Well, what better time than now? Keep an eye out though, stockings there will be unannounced and often surprises. I will not stock custom slots there for now, I’ll keep those just for my Facebook fans and announce them there, so don’t worry that you’ll miss an opportunity to snag a custom order. Happy shopping!

Win a Cadara Bu™ on Beneath The Rowan Tree

  • November 20, 2010

Lori from Beneath The Rowan Tree is one of my favorite people. A smart business woman, a good friend to me and many others, and a talented artist. I follow her blog and love her views on childhood and play. We have a mutual love fest as the kids and I are horders of all things BTRT, and she has her fair share of Bu. Can you feel the love?

Well, when she asked me to play in her holiday give-aways on her blog, of course I said yes. I’m honored that she would think of me in that caliber and it’s always fun to talk shop with her. Check our her blog, with a chance to win a Cadara Bu™ in the Marvel colorway and keep reading each week for other fun goodies being given away.

Cool Cards

  • November 15, 2010

I needed new business cards and needed a newer version of care cards to use with the Cadara Bu, so I shopped around for something fun. A friend turned me on to Boo and I’m so glad she did. My care cards have a different picture of gorgeous dyed bamboo on one side and all the info on the other. My biz cards have my favorite colorway on one side and contact info and a little thank you on the other. They are half size—small, cute and fun!


Bu, But Not Blanket

  • November 15, 2010

A good friend and fellow wahm asked me to dye up a couple of shirts for her, one in jewel tones and one in whatever I wanted. Her favorite colors are cobalt and purple, so I took that and ran with it. I haven’t shown them to her yet, so let this sneak peak be our little secret.




DKol Photography and Her 365 Days

A local friend and photographer is blogging a photo a day in her 365 Day project. Check out her latest subject. Bu never looked so good!

A Special Custom Order

  • November 13, 2010

This custom was close to my heart. I got a note from a customer who wanted to do something special for her friend. I don’t usually take custom orders in this way, but I just had to help. My customer’s friend recently lost her baby and she gave me her hospital blanket to dye and upcycle into Cadara Bu for her friend to use later when she conceives again. Having suffered a loss myself, I know all too well her pain. I wish them all the best of luck in their journey and hope that these blankets can bring comfort along the way.





Latest Customs and New Colorways!

  • November 7, 2010

I just finished two very fall inspired colorways for two custom orders. One is more girly in nature than the other, but both are deep and rich, two different takes on the fall colors that abound outside now. The first is called Earthtone and the second is Quiltblock.


I also added new colorways to the latest Fresh stocking. I’ve found a renewed love for blue, inspired by finding some antique turquoise jewelry of my great aunt’s. She loved the stone and had many beautiful pieces of it. Another recent inspiration has been our heirloom hydrangea. They have dried on the bush and have the most gorgeous combination of colors.

These new colorways are Aztec, Dried Hydrangea, Elation, and Starling
