What's going on at the studio?

The sad answer to this question is not a lot!  I believe I mentioned before that my husband and I are expecting our first baby in August.  Needless to say my energy levels have been low due to lack of sleep.  I keep waiting for these bursts of energy that you are supposed to get in your second trimester. 

Along with the shop I do work a full time job Mondays through Fridays.  This is why you see most of my activity on the weekends.  The past few weekends have been a little busy for me so I have not had a chance to get into the studio to create.  I have however had the urge to knit tiny things!  I thought I would take a moment to share some of the things I make outside of the items I offer in Trinity's Trinkets.  Knitting is one of my biggest passions.  Here are a few things I have been working on recently.

This hat was just too cute to say no to.  There is a sweater that matches that I will probably also be making.

We intend on using cloth diapers so these wool soakers will be a big help.

Lets just hope and pray that the baby does not have any wool allergies!

 So that is a little sneak peak at the things I have been working on when I have little sprouts of energy.  We have no plans for the weekend so hopefully I can muster up enough energy to get into the studio and create some new items for the shop this week.  Stay tuned!

New design to our Interchangeable Needle Case

I am always looking at ways to improve the design of our needle cases. One issues I have wanted to solve is the puckering created by the larger size needles. While not a huge issue, I strive for perfection. So I am launching a new design that features pleated pockets for the larger needles. Check it out!

Here is an unfinished needle pouch.  You can see the 3 larger pockets are pleated to allow more space for the larger gauge needles. 

This pouch will be available in the shop this week!

Sneak peak as to what is on the sewing machine now.  This will be available this week.

Congrats to our 100th customer!

Congrats to Pamela of Bowie, MD!

Pamela is our 100th customer to Trinity's Trinkets.  With her order she will receive a 25% off coupon toward her next purchase.  Thanks to everyone who has visited our shop over the past two years.

Additionally, new items are coming to the shop today.  I apologize for the photography, we are having some technical difficulties with the camera.  The colors of the cases though are pretty spot on.  Here is a peak at the items coming out today.

Paisley Spring - Accessories Pouch (NEW)

Paisley Spring - Knitting Needle Pouch

100th Patron to Trinity's Trinkets!

It seems like only yesterday that I had my first customer in Trinity's Trinkets.  Today we are sitting at 99 sales.  I want to thank all our loyal customers that have visited us over the past two years.  It has been a growing and learning experience for me as an artisan and business owner. 

To say Thank You, I am giving a 25% off coupon to the 100th client to use on their next order.  Who will the lucky winner be?  And what will that lucky winner want to use their coupon on...?

Well for starters, we have new pouches that will be arriving in the shop soon.  Just before Christmas I posted a sneak peak at some new fabrics.  Two of these cases are already finished and waiting photographing.   Here is a sneak peak at those cases.

Paisley Butterflies and Springtime Paisley

Additionally, I am looking at expanding the line.  I would like to add some project bags as well as notion bags.  While our interchangeable needle case does offer a section for notions, if you are like me you have a lot of them!  I find I keep a master bag and then put a few on the go items in my needle case.  We may be adding a Mega-Roll as well to house all your straights and DPN's. 

Lots of exciting things coming so stay tuned here and on facebook for further updates.
