Congrats to our friends at Twitter on moving into their new offices.  We totally covet the throw pillows that came with every employee’s new desk!
Update: The pillows were done by the folks at Throwboy. Which reminds me that I’ve been meaning to order some Birdfeed pillows.

Trip to Twitter!

Last week Twitter, Inc ordered some custom pillows for each of their employees.  We had less than a week to complete and deliver in time for their new office opening.  So, with a lot of fabric, stuffing, and Redbull we managed to finish them just in the nick of time.

Well, kinda. Because there were no other emergency shipping options (FedEx Sameday requires a US Gov pass) to get them their by Monday, we made a last minute road trip from Seattle to San Francisco ;) Pictures from the trip (video coming soon).

The folks at Twitter we’re totally surprised and loved their pillows.

SURPRISE AND DELIGHT FTW!

Now & Later

Hey ya’ll!

Just wanted to post a little update for what we’ve been up to lately.  I broke it down into two bite sized updates (minus the fat).

Now:

For the past couple months we’ve just been busting through a lot of orders and making a lot of pillows. It’s been pretty nutty around here but we’re working on new pillow lines for the near future that we’re stoked about.

Later:

We’re working on a comedy webshow!  It’s going to be set in the Throwboy factory with a fun twist on what goes on behind the scenes here.  We’ll have our first episode up in a few weeks! Let us know what you think :D

That’s about it for now guys!  ttys!  Don’t forget to write! Have a great summ…ok bai.
