“Caitlin of Real Swanky is a local embroiderer, threading sharp wit through soft cotton. Based in Winnipeg, she stitches bold, one-of-a-kind pieces that flirt with the anatomical, the gruff, and the hilariously honest.
Each piece is hand-stitched with locally thrifted floss, and backed with vegan felt made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. All pieces are thoroughly inspected by her two rabbits, who believe deeply in quality control and carrying a strong work ethic.
Happily stitched slow in small batches, her hoops are small, strange, stitched to provoke, and always carry a mile-long story.”

Jana Richards has tried her hand at many writing projects over the years, from magazine articles and short stories to full-length contemporary romance, paranormal suspense and romantic comedy. She loves to create characters with a sense of humor, but also a serious side. She believes there’s nothing more interesting than peeling back the layers of a character to see what makes them tick.
When not writing up a storm or dealing with dust bunnies, Jana can be found pursuing hobbies such as golf (which she plays very badly) or reading (which she does much better).

Looking for the purr-fect gift this winter?
Every item is handmade, and pre approved with a biscuit or two from our CEO, Brady!
The Knotty Tabby began during late-night bottle feeds with my foster kitten, and forever foster, Brady. To keep my anxiety down, I started crocheting — Brady would play with the yarn and claim every blanket as his own.
