Earth Day 2012 is this Sunday, April 22nd. I've partnered up with my good friend Trish Preston to bring you a special Earth Day Giveaway ~ a two-fer!
Trish designs incredibly cute and functional sewing patterns for her business, Two Peas in a Pod. She has quite a variety ~ from home dec to accessories and lots in-between! She always adds charming little details that set her designs apart and add some extra flair! Pretty and sweet, just like Trish!
She recently completed 2 new patterns: the Date Night Clutch and the Always a Bridesmaid bag. I was flattered that she opted to use Daisy Janie's organic fabrics for some of her samples ~ and that she put them right on the covers!! The Date Night Clutch is shown in Shades of Grey, and the Always a Bridesmaid bag is shown in Tilly.
Trish is ever the environmentalist, and walks the walk: from her previous life as a Nat'l Park Ranger to her degree in Environmental Science & Natural Resources to the way she lives her life. Having Daisy Janie's organic fabrics represented on her patterns is a perfect match!
I sure hope they're a match for you, too! Shall we get onto these giveaways then? YES!!!!

Need to give some props to Miss Trish...
Trish holds a very special place in my business journey, and I'm not even sure she knows it! We met at Fall Quilt Market 2010, and we hit it off immediately - instant understanding and connection as strong women both very interested in eco-friendly living. She was quite effusive about Daisy Janie: the fabrics, the organic nature of them and the fact that I run this business all by lonesome.
Typically, when someone is doling out praise directly, I will always offer a sincere thank you - but I'm also quick to change the subject or turn the praise back onto them. Trish didn't let me wiggle out of her niceties, tho! She was savvy, and she meant to make a point. I listened. And later, I let it sink in. That Quilt Market was one of the first times I was standing with my fabrics in public, in person, where facial expressions and commentary are unavoidable b/c you're not hiding behind a computer screen. Up until that moment with Trish, I hadn't allowed myself to "enjoy" the fruits of my labor in terms of how special it really, really is; how challenging it really, really can be; and how dedicated I really, really am. It took someone stopping in me in my tracks, shining a spotlight on me and making me listen that enabled me to see the unique nature of my own work. Trish gave me the push I needed to stand taller and be louder & prouder about what I do! Forever grateful for that conversation!!!
