I made a little felt bird in flight and I thought you might like to make one, too. These birds are pretty as ornaments for the holidays, or make several and hang them from a branch to make a mobile. They’re pretty simple to make with a few scraps of felt and some embroidery floss,…

hello and a shop update
I've had several visitors in my studio recently and let me tell you it is getting harder and harder to make it look neat and tidy in there. Charlie went to open the blinds yesterday morning when we woke up and six toys fell on the floor. (Keep in mind that when I say studio…
36
This is me, the summer of 1979, just before my 4th birthday. Today is my 36th birthday. Roxanne and Stella marched down the stairs this morning holding a homemade banner atop two wooden skewers (They originally taped the skewers on upside down and I was called in yesterday to fix it without looking, which I…
bird workshop was awesome
I spent Wednesday evening at Gather Here in Cambridge sewing birds with 8 lovely women (and one awesome 10 year old). Gather Here is an incredible place. If you live in or near Boston I highly recommend a visit. I need to get back there for some hardcore shopping. Virginia and Noah have pulled together…
a hairclip and a pincushion
Josephine's hair is starting to grow in and it's strawberry blond. So pretty. Last night I made her a hair clip from this tutorial on the Purl Bee. I got to dig out the yo-yo maker for this, plus some pink Kona and wool felt scraps. She hasn't figured out that she's wearing yet it…

bird ornament
The workshop I'll be teaching at Gather Here in Cambridge, MA, at the end of the month is fully enrolled and I'm getting excited to sew birds with everyone! We will be making a bird ornament, one of the projects that ended up getting cut from The Artful Bird due to space constraints. Over the…
Getting Together with Other Artists
I went out last evening with what is tentatively being called Etsy Women of Wellesley (EWW – I think we may need a new name!). We had a wonderful evening at Alta Strada in Wellesley Square, chatting and laughing together about how we run home after dropping our kids off at school and furiously pursue…

The class will meet on the evening of Wednesday, July 27, and the cost is $65, which includes all the…
