Hey! The blog has been pretty quiet lately, but that doesn't mean we've stopped moving here at the studio! We've been SO busy this past month!  What have we been up to? Well, we got a restock of True Colors, Tula Pink Solids, and some Pom Poms and Stripes that we were running low of (well, we got a whole 'nother line of Solids and True Colors!)  Those boxes (and this is only SOME!): So bringing those up the stairs was fun, as was finding room >.<; (PS- thanks Martha!!
