<br />
<a href="http://www.handmadebash.com/Spring_Bash.html" target="_blank">Etsy Dallas</a> favorites, Sabrina and Jenny of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePigAndThePeacock" target="_blank">The Pig and the Peacock</a> make beautiful handcrafted soaps, lotions, and candles. Their booth is an aromatic feast, so be sure check them out on Saturday! Look for the huge crowd surrounding these two lovely sisters, smiling and packaging orders, you can't miss them!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Are you debuting any new items at the Spring Bash?</b><br />
<i>We have made several new soaps that we will introduce at the Bash including Black Currant, Honeysuckle, and Cranberry Salsa. You’ll have to check out our booth to find the rest! We’ll also have some new Spring/Summer scents in our candles.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<i><br /></i>
<br />
<b>Do you have any favorite stories from your customers about your products?</b><br />
<i>I think our favorite story is not from any specific customer, but many people tell us our soaps look good enough to eat, and in fact, it’s true! We have had a couple of people receive our soaps as gifts and take a bite out of them before realizing what it was! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<i><br /></i>
<br />
<b>How has your work evolved since you began The Pig and The Peacock?</b><br />
<i>Our collection is constantly changing and growing. We have more ideas and designs in our heads than we can possibly ever make so we have started rotating out scents and designs to make room for new ones. We have also added new product lines the past couple of years, like our new lip balms and our DejaVino Wine Bottle Candles.</i><br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.handmadebash.com/Spring_Bash.html" target="_blank">Etsy Dallas</a> rockstar, Regina from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/regalcottage" target="_blank">Regal Cottage</a> has been preparing for the Spring Bash for months! I always adore her precious toys, and look forward to her booth. Be sure to visit her on Saturday, and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/regalcottage/" target="_blank">add her on Instagram</a> to peek inside design and production of her fun and thoughtful work!<br />
<br />
<b>How has your collection evolved since you began Regal Cottage?</b><br />
<i>My collection has definitely evolved over the years. I started out making kids' clothing and made a few toys just for fun. I quickly realized that I enjoyed making toys so much more. I knew I would do best if I followed my heart and focused on creating eco-friendly toys.
Over the last year, I have worked to develop my own exclusive fabric designs. I love incorporating my original illustrations into my work. It gives me the ability to make each of my most popular products in coordinating fabrics from larger plush toys and baby rattles to plush balls and teethers. </i><br />

<br />
<b>Do you have any favorite stories from customers?</b><br />
<i>My favorite customer story is when an expecting Mom bought a ball for her baby-to-be. She later let me know that she knew her baby would love it, but she was amazed to see just how obsessed she became over time with that ball. She took it everywhere, and her first word was even "ball." That Mom has become one of my best customers. She buys a rattle ball from me for every baby shower she attends. Every time I see her order come in, it brings such a smile to my face. </i><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>What are you selling at the Spring Bash this year?</b><br />
<i>I will be bringing our best selling rattle balls, in new bright spring colors with bold geometric prints and lots of our wildly popular metallic moon, cloud and star pillows.</i><br />

Keep in mind the clasp will take up about ½”. Leave all the tails of your working cord until you have completed both sides to make necessary adjustments.
Step 5: Repeat all the steps on the other side of the connector. Clip tails of the working cord but make sure you leave the tails of the MIDDLE strands to attach the clasp. See picture with labels for clarification.

To make the sliding closure, shape the bracelet into a circle and overlap the middle strands. Use wire or scrap cord to temporarily tie the cords together at each end if needed.
2. Take the 16” cord piece and cent it under the strands.
3. Start tying square knots exactly the same way you did to make the bracelet.
4. Stop after about 1/2” of knotting.
5. Remove temporary binding cords.
Step 7: Finishing. The 2 sets of middle strands are now the adjustable ties of the bracelet. Adjust to fit over the hand and wrist and tie each end into simple knots.
Step 8: Fire. Clip and burn all excess cord ends to keep from fraying. See closure in picture below</i>.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="line-height: 25.008px;">First, measure a 4x6 rectangle on a sheet of paper. You can do this quickly by tracing your 4x6 block.</span></span></i></span></h4>

<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><i><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="line-height: 25.008px;">Sketch out your design in pencil first. After I sketch my design out, I usually scan the drawing and fine-tune it in Adobe Illustrator. If you don't have Illustrator, don't worry, this part is optional.</span>
<br /><br />
<a href="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/2illustrator.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="use Adobe Illustrator to fine-tune your sketch" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-66" height="267" src="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/2illustrator.gif?w=660" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: left;" width="400" /></a>
<br /><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.008px;">If you do design your print on the computer, print it out and color in the negative space with pencil. If you sketched your print out by hand, you can skip this step.</span>
<br /><br />
<a href="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/3color.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="color the negative space on your design in with pencil" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-67" height="268" src="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/3color.gif?w=660" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: left;" width="400" /></a>
<br /><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.008px;">Now you will transfer your pencil sketch to the rubber block. Carefully lay your rubber block over your sketch so the edges align. Use your hard rubber brayer (or your fingers) to press down on the rubber block so the graphite from the pencil transfers from the paper onto the block.</span>
<br /><br />
<a href="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/4transfer.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="use a brayer to transfer your design" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-68" height="268" src="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/4transfer.gif?w=660" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: left;" width="400" /></a>
<br /><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.008px;">Lift up the block and use your pencil to touch up any areas where the graphite did not transfer.</span><span style="line-height: 25.008px;">Now use your linoleum cutter to carve your design out of the block. A few tips: Use the tool in a pushing (not pulling motion) for best results. Also, turn the block, not your hand when making a curved line.</span>
<br /><br />
<a href="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/5carve1.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="carve your block using linoleum cutters" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-69" height="268" src="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/5carve1.gif?w=660" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: left;" width="400" /></a>
<br /><br />
<span style="line-height: 25.008px;">Voila! Your block is carved, and you're ready to print! </span></span></i></span><br />
<br /><br />
<a href="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/6carve2.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><i><span style="color: #444444;"><img alt="finished linocut block" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-70" height="268" src="https://wanderingpaperco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/6carve2.gif?w=660" style="border: 0px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; text-align: left;" width="400" /></span></i></a></h4>

We have a fun and easy tutorial for you today!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Materials needed:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cardstock - folded in half</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heart cut out of a piece of paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Embroidery needle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Embroidery floss in your choice of color (or go crazy with several!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">Take your heart cutout and trace it <i>lightly </i>on the front of your card -<b> use a pencil for this part</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Using your embroidery needle poke holes around the heart tracing - be sure to space them out. For the heart on the left you will also need to poke a hole in the center of the heart.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Once all the holes have been made, erase the pencil tracing. Select your embroidery floss color.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Starting from the top of the heart start making big stitches from each hole to the center.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Keep working your way around the heart. You can change colors part way through too.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Once complete, tie a knot on the back side of the card to secure the floss and write a message of your choice!</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead of making stitches through the center you can randomly make stitches all around the hear for a more abstract look, or do lines straight across for a clean look.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy Valentine's Day!</div>

It was a really fun project that family and friends participated in and we got cards from all over Dallas and Austin too!<br />
<br />
In total we made over 100 handmade cards that Meals on Wheels will deliver over the next few days, and we hope it will put smiles on many faces!<br />
