Tis The Season…. To Be Jolly Cards are now available in the shop

Available in packs of 8 or individually, these illustrated cards are filled with beautiful detailing and gold and black hues. They are perfect card for the holidays.

Lately, well, I guess I should say, constantly, I work. I draw. I fill orders. I package. I plan new product. Fill wholesale orders. Return emails. Pretty standard for a small business run out of a spare bedroom.

I’ve been thinking about my future. And I know that I next year I am going to make some changes for a better balance in my life. Not sure exactly how it will look, but I want to enjoy life a bit more. Rarely do I really get dressed in the mornings, instead slouching around in pajamas or jeans and a shirt, running around, not able to give either my business nor parenting my full attention at any single given time.

I am still planning how next year needs to be different. More time for drawing. More time with my kids. Maybe actually hiring some help. Just a little help with packaging.

I’ve also decided not to do any more “flash sales” online. I just finished up a Fab sale. And it went really well. But I knew going into it that it would be my last. For many reasons. Business reasons. Personal reasons. But regardless, I just cannot afford to do them anymore. The prices are so low to customers because I make very little money per item (we are talking only $2 on some items) on the sales. I’ve always liked the idea of reaching a broader audience with these sales, while also allowing long time customers a chance to own Gingiber items for much less.

Now, as I am expanding my wholesale side of business, knocking on retailers doors, working on licensing some of my art, I do not want to “cheapen” my brand. I want to strengthen it. These flash sales are good. Especially for me who had invested quite a bit of money in new product development and needed some money quickly. But now I need to think about the big picture.

Thanks for reading, friends. Sometimes I just like to write it down. Put it out there.

Hope that you like the new Christmas Cards,

I’ve just added a new fox onesie design to Gingiber! 

Pictured above is a delightful orange and white fox on a berry onesie

And then we have have a neon yellow and grey fox on navy onesie. 

I love them. All babies should have at least one fox onesie in their wardrobe. And these foxes are super awesome! So you should purchase your dapper toddler this particular onesie.

Whatcha think?

They have arrived! Our adorable owl design is now available on navy onesies and toddler shirts! Available in 2 colorways (blue and gray OR pink and gray), this is probably my favorite Gingiber item at the moment 🙂

The design is also available on toddler shirts, size 2T, 3T, and 4T.

Each garment is priced at $26. Interested in purchasing but wanna save some money? Well there is a coupon code in our Fall 2012 Gingiber Newsletter! Click Here To Read It 

You can subscribe to receive the quarterly Gingiber newsletters on the sidebar

Stay tuned because we will have ANOTHER new shirt design to reveal later this week!

I seriously agonized for weeks about the color story with this design! But I am soooo excited with how these shirts turned out. They are exactly what I wanted. I LOVE THEM! I really hope that you like them too!

What are you up to this weekend? I am spending the weekend taking care of my niece! It will be a house full of 3 girls under the age of 4, so it will be *super fun*! 

Oh, and who else watched the premier of The Office last night? I thought it was amazingly good! So glad that the original showrunner is back at the helm for this final season!

Hi! Guess who is featured in the October Issue of Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine? Gingiber! Well, Gingiber and a lovely feature on my girls’ shared bedroom 🙂

I am so excited. This is our first real bit of printed press, so when my preview issues arrived in my mailbox this past Saturday I was over the moon!

I think we are on page 64, so if you get a moment the next time you are in your local bookstore, take a look!

Thanks so much!

Today is the last full day to save big on Gingiber items at Fab.com

I always struggle to find the delicate balance between over promotion and getting the word out on an event like a Fab sale. The prices are INSANELY LOW on prints, pillows, clothing, totes, and stamps. In fact, they will never ever be this low again. And I really want people to take advantage of this sale.

There are 3 ways to enter enter the giveaway: Tweet, blog, or share on Facebook the following message:

I shared with you a mock-up of some owl onsie designs back in August. Today I got the onsies back from the printer and GOOD GRAVY I love them!

Just wanted to show you the finished product. I will take real product photos next week and have them in the shop. 

p.s. This design also comes in a beautiful bright blue ink 🙂

Hi friends! A quick reminder that my Fab.com sale is live! And as of today you no longer have to have an account with Fab.com to view the sales! 

Thanks! Stacie

You see these wee black sheep? Welp I’ve been busy sewing them along with tons more animal pillows for my Fab.com sale which begins tonight at 7 PM! You will also find prints, calendars, and totes so if you are looking for a great deal check it out!

How have you been so far this week? I’ve discovered the magic that is the television show Once Upon A Time and feel quite inspired to do some fairy tale inspired drawings 🙂
