All change
For years I’ve been adding bits and pieces to the Skinny laMinx stable of websites, resulting in a bristling and unwieldy bushel of URLs, and finally, enough was enough! I enlisted a clever brother of mine to help me put the whole caboodle under one address, which means that henceforth, skinnylaminx.com is the one stop shop for all things Skinny. Hooray! Click here to see how it all comes together.
Hope you enjoy the new-look website, with an updated version of Eep! presiding over it all. I’m celebrating the launch by giving away this goodie-filled patchwork tote bag to someone who leaves a comment on my blog today (Wednesday 4 May). Remember to leave your contact details!
Update: I called my clever brother, who talked to his random number generator, who picked a number (any number) between 1 & 122, and the winner is… Alyssa Suffredini! Well done to you. Your goodie-filled tote bag will soon be on its way.
Thanks so much to everyone for entering, and for your lovely comments. I really enjoyed reading each one, and appreciate your taking the time to leave them. xx

wow, the new-look website is fantastic, I have been browsing around already and was surprised and totally impressed with the depth and reach of your work and commissions. I am embarking on my own venture, not textiles, but design and photography and you are a total inspiration to me. thank you and I hope to own some of your work soon. Kate
Kim
Well done Heather – great idea, much more user-friendly. And it looks gorgeous too!
WandaFish
Mmm! Love the clean lines of the new website 🙂
How sweet of you to offer a giveaway – thanks for the chance to win some of your delicious goodies!
I’m on a complete spending ban which is most frustrating when there is so much that I covet in your shop (and I really NEED another cloudbirds dress for my girly as she keeps on growing). I simply must get my hands on some Cut Out and Keep too – congrats on such a fabulous collection.

Hej! I usually dislike new websites at first look as I am often simply too used to the old look. But I have to say with yours it’s different. I really,really like the new outfit! Especially the colours, they are so deep and strong. I love the tone of the green you use. Makes it all look fresh and inviting. And it fits your art and products a lot. Really well done!

Ansley Knoch
Hi, I’m a relatively new subscriber, but I love the new look. The bird illustration is lovely too, slightly reminiscent of Sanna Annukka’s sielilintu (soul birds) of which I am a huge fan. Thanks for posting such inspiring illustrations and patterns.
skinnylaminx
Thanks! Agreed that my Eep bird looks a bit like the Sanna Annukka one. We must have both been inspired by bird illustrations from the 1960s. xx

Hi Heather,
A chance for a goodie bag full of your wonderful products is a good motivation to finally sit down and let you know that your website and blog is very inspiring and looking really co-ordinated now.
It’s lovely to see your process from “cut-out” to fabric – will “Leaf Nest” make it to a fabric any time soon?
“Hangers” laundry bag is a goodie!

I love how inviting, simple and clean your site looks!
And how neat you got to work on that with your brother!
Congrats and smiles,
