I’ve been working on this quilt for a while now. It’s the quilt that inspired my first submission to Modern Quilts Unlimited (the pattern will be in their second issue!), and which gave me a real boost. It’s also the only quilt I think I have ever named on purpose: “Perseverance”. I have been working […]
Supporting the girls in our lives, and my new quilt
Lately, I have been spending every spare minute working on a number of different things. 10 minutes while Lucy reads? Sew a belt. Two hours for nap? Quilt something. It’s been really rewarding to feel like I am growing in my creative life, and maybe moving ahead. What was also really nice was to be […]
You ever have that feeling?
You know, the one where you have so many things in your mind for next projects, but there are so many they kind of want to slither and slide away before you can really get them together? It feels a little like herding snakes, all slippy and slidey. I am half-considering some kind of audio […]
Lost Days
Ugh. The stomach virus we avoided with Elder Child sure didn’t miss us the second time around with Younger Child. My husband and I both were wiped out on Friday, pretty much leaving our toddler and 5 year old to fend for themselves since we were incapacitated. We joked about leaving a box of cheerios […]
things I’ve been working on
So I’ve been collecting fabric for almost a decade now, and I am not sure if I have shown remarkable restraint or if I need to look for more. One of the nice things about the projects I am working on right now (my fabric belts, cut to fit), is that they showcase some of […]
Belts!
I just finished up a dozen different belt styles, and each one is my favorite. It’s a good problem to have, right? These will be for sale tomorrow at my booth at the Saratoga Art and Craft Fair from 10-4 at High Rock Park (same location as the farmer’s market). I will have these belts, […]
T-3 days and counting!
I’ve been working pretty much every second I haven’t had stay-at-home-mom duties (which means those precious napping hours and after bedtime). It’s been a huge amount of fun, but more than a little stressful as well. I don’t have as much completed as I would like, but this is a good day to get out […]
On the machine
My etsy shop is live, and other news
I have been bust behind the scenes getting things set up for an Etsy shop, and it’s finally live, right here! I’m pretty happy with it, and my friend Serena of Serena Savage Designs put together the logo for me, after I told her I wanted something that was reminiscent of selvedge, but which was […]
I hate just starting out, sometimes
Remember a while ago how I said that I loved the anticipation of making lists and getting ready to go? Well, it occurred to me today that it’s a classic procrastination technique, when used properly. “I can’t do X or Y because I need Z tool/class/technique/miracle.” In my case, I really dislike lacking proficiency, and […]
