Jan 10 Ribbon Colors Matching Gymboree’s Santorini Sweetie line

This is an unofficial entry, as I only have one item to match to as of yet: the KG Graphic Flower Top.  I will update this entry if I have any color updates/additions once I am able to match to additional items.

Based on that tee, here are the best grosgrain ribbon color matches:

• S Capri Blue
• S Lt Navy
• O Bluebird
• White

These are all very good matches.  Check back for an update in a week or so, when I will confirm whether these colors are true matches for the rest of the line.

CPSIA Coverage

As is probably obvious from the lack of attention I’ve given it the last couple of months, I no longer plan to regularly cover updates regarding the impact of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on crafters.  I link to several reliable sources of information on this topic that will keep you up-to-date, just check out the box in the sidebar titled “CPSIA Info”. There has been a lot of action lately.  For the most recent chatter on the subject, you can also visit Twitter and search on #CPSIA.

I was surprised to see that one of the CPSC commissioners, Anne Northup, mentioned the close of my business, JenLynnDesigns, in her Wall Street Journal Op-Ed dated 12/23/09.  The attention would have been nice had it come before having closed due to the unmanageable CPSIA testing requirements nearly a year ago!

Dec 09 Ribbon Colors Matching Gymboree’s Garden Friends line

This cute Gymboree line was pretty easy to match with not too many colors to fool around with!  Use these grosgrain ribbon colors for all your custom accessories made to match Gymboree’s 2009 Garden Friends line.  Note: Fantasy Rose matches the lighter pink in some of the prints, but is not the primary pink.   For that you want Offray Shocking Pink.
