I’m really pleased that my work has been selected for the Morphe II soft toy exhibit. I created the Cube Zoo with Morphe in mind and I’m so happy that Carly liked my little lions enough to include them in this fantastic show. Do I get to call myself an artist now? I finished a…

It must be so hard to be 2
Roxy and I are taking a little nature class on Thursday mornings called Puddlestompers. It meets at a different local park each week and we experience parts of the natural world together. Last week we learned about sow bugs and today we dissected flowers. Except that WE didn’t do much with the flowers. Instead, we…
pincushions
Six in total, made from bits of vintage fabric, linen, woven ribbon and trim and vintage bottons. And guess who finally got his own blog?

I finished a new doll today during nap time. Last week I received a bundle of vintage fabric scraps from an ebay auction and they were so inspiring (nothing is better than someone else’s scraps!).

Charlie had been in the Boston area for a few years already and was regularly leading Friday night services at Harvard Hillel. After spending four years at…

visiting the farm and a new sketchbook
We had a nice, if hot, Father’s Day. Charlie liked the necktie/shoetree collage Roxanne and I made for him as well as his gifts – an actual necktie, a business card folio, and a book called “I Love My Daddy” which Roxanne requests by name, giving Charlie a nice thrill. We spent the morning visiting…
Charlie
To my guy – thanks for everything you do. You are a creative and loving father for our two little girls and they do love you so. Happy Father’s Day.
Bear
I was in the mood for some color the other day and started to put together this bear. He’s made of pretty much random pieces of fabric, vintage and thrifted and new, that happened to be out and in piles on the floor for other projects. I almost didn’t finish him because I just wasn’t…
