Back to basics... and aprons

So lately it's been all about My Dirty Birdie - but know that we're still going strong wiht our initial lines. As a matter of fact, we just got great news that we're going to be included in the Fall Buyer's Guide for Pregnancy Magazine (hits the stands 9/30/08). We were also so pleased to recently be featured on Real Simple Magazine's Blog - Simply Stated.

Hip Hostess Threads - Simply Stated

AND we have several new styles/designs that are going to be available in October - just in time for the holidays! We're making some fun additions to the Wee Pockets line, and I actually spent about 40 hours on a sewing machine over the last 2 weeks - and truthfully I hadn't even sat down at one since 7th grade Home Ec. But I am SO pleased with what we're about to introduce, so check back with us in a few weeks because I'll post some early pics and get the website updated.

Meanwhile, starting on Saturday, we're going to be featured on Confessions of an Apron Queen's Blog (http://www.anapronaday.blogspot.com/) you can register to win a Progeny apron through her weekly giveaway. Good luck!

We're still spreading the word about My Dirty Birdie and starting to get some great blog mentions. Here's one of my favorite new pieces that really demonstrates the tees in action.
