Sandi Henderson

My name is Sandi Henderson, my daily face bears a happy Mommy and Wife. The worlds most cherished calling. My alter ego is that of a fabric and pattern designer. You are likely to catch a bit of both here, on my personal blog.

Jasper Green, and a little announcement.

This year is going to be awesome! You know why? It's a green year. Pantone has claimed Emerald to be the color of the year. Now, I must take a color snob moment and make a disclaimer that I actually... Continue reading

This year. This year, how I have had a love/hate relashionship with it. Best and worst all in one. :) Anyone else have a year like that? The beginning of 2012 found me living with my in-laws at the worst... Continue reading

10 years of Decking the Halls!

We are getting closer! Who is ready? This year we set a really really small Christmas budget. As is, I've spent about 50 bucks. I'm not done shopping, but I am not planning on spending a lot more. We're saving... Continue reading

Sandi's Gift Guide, 2012

Painted Porcelain

I love nativity scenes. They are the Christmas decoration that I allow myself to have more than one "set" of. I figure it represents most directly the reason we celebrate Christmas, so why not have one in every room? My... Continue reading

Aloha from the Mainland

I am working through one of those crazy months that has inadvertantly resulted in a blogging slump. Bad blogger. Instagram is too easy. :) So I am doing the best thing I can and just diving in! I had the... Continue reading

From the Kitchen

I think the best part of having our own home again is having our own kitchen. For a family who loves food (not just eating, but cooking and preparing too!) not having your own kitchen is hard. So yes, I... Continue reading

I have no clever title, but I painted and ate popcorn the other day, would you like to see?

The other day I was fidgety and needed to play with some color. I hopped on the computer and opened up the fabric collection I am designing. Nothing came. In fact, I was growing edgy and fast falling into what... Continue reading

You guys have eagle eyes! You noticed my tablecloth in the last few posts. It is beautiful isn't it? Nope, I didn't do it. I must be honest and say that while I love embroidery, I don't think I could... Continue reading

Who likes Surprise Mail?

I love surprise mail, especially if I have a little bit of an idea what the surprise holds. I know it will be fabric, but not exactly what.. When we moved, we ended up with a ginormous pile of samples,... Continue reading
