Teddy Bear coming to life with Getta Grip Sewing Clips

Carol just became a Grandma and is enjoying her Holidays more than ever! I love this picture she sent creating a Teddy Bear. I got an e-mail from a woman who made her dog bed with my clips too! She said they held all her layers together perfectly.
United Notions now has Getta Grip Sewing Clips on their hot list so all you Store Owners be on the lookout for a United Notions rep or you can order them at www.unitednotions.com
The amazing fabric emporium Britex in San Francisco just got their new order so you can pick them up there if you’re in my favorite City.They have such beautiful things on every floor, the place is truly inspiring!
As 2011 is coming to a close I’m very Grateful for all of the people I’ve worked with this year whether in Colleges or on the Clip project. I’m very tired but super Happy about everything. Blessings upon you all! xoxo

Erin is a man who has never sewn before but wanted to fulfill his promise to his daughter that when she got married he would make her wedding gown. I met him at the Maker Faire last May and he bought a set of clips and watched the how-to videos on my site. Low and behold his wife sent me pictures of the wedding and they ended up in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle! Then they got picked up by ABC and are going to be on the news with this incredibly touching story. In this world of things upside down and backwards it is such a relief to hear about people doing something this beautiful purely out of LOVE. Thank You to Erin and Bev for sharing your story and making my day!

Earth loses Creative Genius

Rest in Peace Steve Jobs and thanks for showing people like me what is possible. I have done this entire process of developing my clip idea, manufacturing it, selling it and connecting to thousands of people here on my Mac in San Francisco. Ironically my modem died the same day you did and the feeling of disconnect was truly unsettling. I do most of my business on my Mac and when it was down I felt weird. When we got the iMac in 1997 I thought it was a great invention and used it here and there. I got this big monitor all white and shiny in 2007 and really love it. We have done so many things on here I could not count them all. Thank You for inventing something that ushered me into my own future. xoxo Paul
