First, a new Springtime bird is up in the shop today. And also it looks like we will be borrowing two chickens from Land's Sake, our CSA farm, for two weeks. They will arrive on Monday evening in their own coop and they will live in our backyard. I called our neighbor this morning to…
a new owl today
Talons. Wings. A wise face. A new owl today. I used the fabric left over from making the bumble bee. I love making owls. They are the largest of the birds I am making right now and have just the right amount of detail to sink my teeth into. This new guy is in the…
making along
This was a really good challenge. I've never made an insect before – the closest I've come was the Maryland crab. There were several iterations of this bee before this final one. The flower, on the other hand, came together right away. I am going to make more of these. They are so fun. This…
making progress on the make-along
I am working today on my project for the make-along. It is always an interesting process designing something totally new. Lots of little problems to solve and lots of stitches to tear out and sew again a different way. I did buy some new fabrics to play with (I started a make-along! I get to…

birds and fresh eggs and a question for you
We went to Natick Organic Farm yesterday afternoon to visit the animals. I love this farm. It is five minutes from Wellesley center and so low key and easy to enjoy. The goats came right up to the fence as we parked the car so the girls ran out to pick dandelion greens from the…
patchwork elephant
Yesterday and today I worked on a patchwork elephant. This was one of those projects that began while sifting through big piles of fabric. All my cotton fabrics are sorted by color in six plastic bins in our bedroom. Bins are great because I keep even very small pieces that cannot be neatly folded on…
flying into the shop today
A sweet Springtime bird. Have a great day, everyone!
