Pat Sloan - Sullivan Edge Ruler Wins Top 20 Innovation award!

If you have hung out with me for awhile you know that I designed all the gridwork for Sullivan's Innovative new ruler 'The Cutting Edge'.

The right hand side of the ruler has a diamond carbide insert that sharpens your blade as your cut... yes really!

We just found out that the Craft and Hobby Association named our rulers one of the Top 20 Innovative Products for Winter.. Holy Cow this is exciting news! 

I'm not at CHA, but the company is... I can't wait to hear about it when they return!

Here is a little video I did about the rulers

Pat Sloan - My Word

 Yesterday I was thinking about 'my word' for the year

ENJOY

I was so thankful that I decided over 12 yrs ago... almost to this day....  to build my own business, so thankful that I look that leap, so thankful my husband joined me, so thankful that you enjoy my work and have made my business possible.

I want to say Thank YOU!

Well THAT was a bit mushy wasn't it?

Moving right along
