I am super happy to announce that I’ve released the Daisy Cutter beret pattern for sale on Ravelry & Etsy!

It’s been a long time coming; hopefully others will be following soon! In honor of this pattern’s introduction, I am giving both of my hat patterns away! One winner will get PDFs of both the Original Twisted Thistle Beret and the new Daisy Cutter Beret knitting patterns. Just leave a comment on this post telling me who you plan to knit the berets for by Wednesday, July 27th 8PM PST. If you want an extra entry, like rottencupcakes on facebook & let me know in your comment on this blog post. I will post the winner on Thursday, July 28th! <3

rottencupcakes hearts society6

I am thrilled to announce that I have begun offering art prints through Society6. If there is something I’ve created that you’ve wanted to hang in your house…now’s your chance! There is a small selection of work available right now and I will be adding more from the archives as the weeks go by. If there’s anything in particular that you’re itching to see, please let me know.

I guess this is confession time: I really would love to make a living with my art—and dang—that is scary to admit! I hope that this endeavor will be the start of that. Wish me luck! <3

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine’s Day is not about flowers. Or chocolates. Or store-bought cards. It’s for embracing a rad color scheme of red & pink and drawing hearts on everything. Duh.

From me, to you!

Happy Holidays, from me to you! May all your celebrations be merry & bright and may you ring in the new year, joyously and safely! See you in 2011! Regular posting will resume January 3rd.<3

Hi Loves! I will be taking a bit of a break from rottencupcakes as my husband & me (& our two cats) make our way across the country to relocate from Chicago to lovely, sunny Southern California. Tonal Tuesday will continue to be posted weekly but all other posting will be on hold until May 1st. Then I shall return joyful, triumphant and bursting with new content for you.

Loads of love! Wish us luck!
