Half way through making this skirt yesterday, I realised that there was no way it was ever going to fit me and that a certain amount of wishful thinking was obviously involved when I was deciding which size to make. It's the first time I've made a skirt with a zip and darts, and I didn't want ...
i just want to say that you look AMAZING after just having a newborn (and a mama of 5!!!). SUCH a cool photo. i love that you are wearing a skirt!! we have so many bees in our backyard (kinda scary sometimes! my son has been stung twice), and i wish i knew where their hive was...i'd be eating it up to keep my weed allergies at bay.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. Happy W...
i often look up and find my kids in the same room as me. out of all the rooms they can be in, they chose to hang out where i am. as much as i love solitude, i adore this fact. I hope it's always so.

the print!! it makes it reversible, and i always like a good print for a back. the tan seems too bland. Or maybe another solid color on back if you don't want the print? maybe a solid green or pink or...? what is her fav color?

The auction went well. Really well. I'm in recovery mode. After spending a few hours setting up on Saturday morning, I logged a 2.5 hour nap in the afternoon. And today, I repeated that. I guess I really had no idea how tired I was! I plan on writing a post about all the projects, etc., later th...

I've been organizing the studio and I've officially run out of room for the fabric. Seriously, all the shelves are full and there is still some to put away. And Sunday was the four year anniversary of the start of this blog. Holy smokes, does time ever fly! So, in celebration of the last fou...
