Whether or not it is necessary, which is certainly debatable, I made a new pincushion today. Like wearing clean underwear when you go to the doctor, I felt it would be nice to have some fresh supplies ready for the photo shoot for my book. So, I dragged myself over to the hardware store and…
Craftsanity Interview and Bird Giveaway!
I've mentioned before that I love craft podcasts. While I sit in my studio and sew by myself I love to listen to inerviews with artists and crafters. They keep me company and inspire and motivate me. So I was totally thrilled when Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood emailed me with an interview request. I have listened…
the winner!
Today was the last day to enter the make-along. Thank you so much for participating. We got some really lovely entries and it was great fun for me to host. It was interesting to see all the different sorts of fiber art people chose. We had quilts and knitting and dolls and embroidery hoops and…
and now for some big news
Okay, I think today is the day to share some big news. I am writing a book. Oh my gosh! I still have a hard time believing it is really true. But I have a December deadline for the manuscript looming so I know in reality it is totally happening. The book will be about…
Small Bird Collages

Any kind of fiber art is welcome – knit, crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery, softie making, quilting – whatever you are interested in doing. Some really lovely entries…
Happy Fourth of July!
Have a great day.
baby birds in a nest
Three baby birds peeking curiously from their nest. I made this last night. It was a good way to use up all those torn strips of fabric leftover from making wings and it was fun to imagine the lives of these little fabric nestlings. It is now up in my shop. The chickens had to…
The Chickens Arrived
This truck pulled up at 7 pm And a very nice guy from the farm unloaded two beautiful chickens and a homemade coop. Roxanne inspected them in her nightgown. We got some instructions on how to feed them and make them comfortable and then we just celebrated the arrival of our guests. They'll be with…
art for the vending machine
Today I made six 4"x3"x.75" bird assemblages. I used old rolodex folders, some mesh origami paper, thread, wire, cotton fabrics, wool stuffing and embroidery floss. I made these in response to Kim's call for teeny tiny artwork. Kim own Three Graces Gallery in Portsmouth, NH. She recently found an old vending machine that she is…
