wow. rough week. anyone who has sent me an email this week, and promptly NOT been responded to, probably figured that out. but, monday starts a new, equally trying week and for now, i am celebrating saturday night with a little "me" party and tomorrow, we're going to d.c. to see the henson (that's HENson, as in muppets, not HANson, as in blond brothers signing group) exhibit and that makes me feel like this. 
enjoy your weekend, friends! xoxo, danamarie

Off to the post office!
If you missed the sale, don't fret! I will be restocking the shop on a daily basis and ALL orders for the next month or so, will go out with a coupon for free shipping (for future use).
Remember, hand made is best for the holidays!
I'll be doing a number of shows this season, but online is always fun too, right?
Xo, danamarie!

be a knitimal!
guess who?....
knitimals! wearing Knitimal masks! funny right?
ok, what about humans wearing knitimal masks?
and there's more where these came from... lots more. halloween is only a little over a month away, and if you're pressed for a costume, maybe a knitimal is a good way to go? or heck, why wait for halloween? you can wear one of these bad boys to the big meeting next friday. Or to happy hour. Or keep one in your purse or backpack to make people smile during rush hour. If you have little ones, how about adding a few knitimal masks to their dress up trunk/drawer/box/bag? 
this idea was a long time coming, and now it has been realized... consider this a "sneak peek" of sorts; i'm probably only going to list a couple of these on etsy for now, so i can have a nice full basket of them for the belair festival this sunday, BUT, after the show (most likely Tuesday), i am going to list whatever is left of my stock into the etsy shop, so those of you in cyber space can browse at home.
of course, if you can't wait for next week, you could always check out what's in stock already...
blue mask on etsy
*remember-- all orders this month come with FREE SHIPPING (that's huge) and a percentage of the etsy sales will go to the september charity of the month: 2 Dogs 2000 Miles
from behind my mask, i wish you lots of xoxo, danamarie

take time to say "thanks" & "i love you" & "_______"
today i am feeling thankful.
thank you all for such strong support after my last post--- you'll be happy to know i am busy working on the illustrated version of that beloved image... it'll be smaller, but it'll be just as powerful.
i am thankful for a place where i can post a message like that, and know i am reaching others.
i'm thankful for the sweet little red-headed, 4-legged boy scrunched up next to me as i type--- he had such a large shepherd spaced hole in my heart to try to fill, and he's done his work admirably.
i'm thankful for a good night's sleep. for online friends. for children who listen. for art museums. for really good french bread. for cupcakes. for BEAUTIFUL fall weather. for the love of my life. for the walk i'm about to go on. for soft soft yarn. for the super yummy pizza we had last night after our doggie date (with the two cutest doxie puppies ever!... next to mason). for the rush of getting ready for a show. for the "i don't like it, but i want to like it" feeling that settles over me when i'm not sure what's going to happen next. for pigeons. for the beach. for big cities. for friendliness. for good manners. for freshly polished toes (i think mine are pretty cute, i must say). for the "star" shape. for the color blue. for knowing a good friend is very happy. and on that note--- for good friends.
today is the birthday of my beautiful sister, Ashley, and one of my dearest friends, Alecia. Who now, serendipitously, both live in suburbs of Boston. And i am thankful that they know each other and can look out for one another. and today, i am thankful thinking of them. i love you both!
take the time today to tell someone you love just how you feel. You can send them one of these cards...
"best wishes"
"hang in there" cards
...or, post your comment below.
i love you.
