What on Earth?

This morning when I got up {after a nearly sleepless night because poor Norah has a diaper rash...} I sat down to play with Norah, drink my coffee {is it okay to brag that my darling husband makes coffee every morning before I get out of bed?}, and check my e-mail.  Shockingly, there were lots of pattern sales receipts!  At first I thought maybe something had malfunctioned...but no, we really just sold a bunch of patterns, this morning!  What?

Interestingly, these patterns were sold on Craftsy...so I hopped over to see if I could find out what happened, but no luck.  However, as the morning continued, our Sophie beach bag climbed to the #1 trending quilting pattern!  What?

So, like any excited school girl pattern designer, I took a screen shot.  And there you have it:


This is super exciting!  My mom and I work really hard to design new, pretty, and purposeful bag patterns, and it's so exciting to see one of our patterns sell really well {at least for the day, but hopefully it will be a new trend!}.  Oh, and if you happen to know how our pattern got such sudden attention...do let me know!
 
Edit to add: Thanks Jackie for letting us know about the newsletter, and thanks Craftsy for the feature, you can see it here.

  13. That is awesome! You ladies deserve to be #1! I hope Norah's rash is doing better. Do you have something good to put on it? I like Grandma El's, so if what you're using isn't working, maybe try that. I hope she feels better, poor baby!
