We are back from a great trip to Burlington, Vermont. We rented a three-story loft downtown on Church Street and had lots of fun shopping (Sweet Lady Jane was my favorite store) and eating (Al's French Fries!), hiking through the woods and swimming at North Beach. Shelburne Farms was amazing. Charlie lovingly held two live…
little girls in dresses
Let's just say the dresses were well received. They are totally thrilled with them and it makes me so pleased. This morning, before presenting them, I made each one a matching hair accessory – a fabric yo-yo with a fabric covered button as the center, sewn to a ponytail holder. The combination of a new…
half way there
Three of six drab birds are finished. I think the next three will be warmer shades. I couldn't resist a few brown and taupe fat quarters at the fabric store on Saturday when Roxanne and I went to pick out her dress fabric. Speaking of the dress, it is also about half way there and…
drab bird #2
Slow but steady progress on birds. As camp winds down I have only the evenings to sew, but they are lovely quiet evenings with my ipod and little piles of drab fabric. Roxanne saw Stella’s dress and wanted me to make one for her to start school with, too. We went to the fabric store…
a new dress for Simon
My littlest one is starting school in just over a month. He will be at the same nursery school with Roxanne, but just two mornings a week from 9-12. And he is raring to go, asking me every day when he will be going to Room 8. I feel that this is a perfectly good…
1 of 6 drab birds
Whew! It has been a few days since I’ve posted here. Roxanne is currently attending two summer camps at once, Charlie is away on a business trip, we are embarking on a major landscape construction project to transform our backyard into usable space, and my mom is in town. And our babysitter is away this…
looped lark in red
We had a great time at the opening at artstream on Friday night, despite a really scary and trying drive up there through much traffic and torrential rain! It was so nice to see Susan again and to meet many women artists from blogland in person at long last. I do love the internet for…
Art Shows at Bluebottle and Three Graces
Just a quick post today. I am excited that my birds arrived safely in Seattle and are now listed on Bluebottle Art Gallery’s website! I feel so honored to be listed there, along with so many awesome folks including the amazing Eleanor Grosch. Also this week I am working with Kim, my web designer and…
small owl!
I made a very small (only 7″ tall!) version of my owl soft sculpture. This little fellow is here in the studio now, hanging out with small sewing notions and feeling rather antsy as other, larger birds, peer down at him. I find him rather endearing, though. As usual, he has a wire armature and…
looped lark
This small series is now complete and I will ship three birds to Blue Bottle Art Gallery and Boutique early next week. The final one is this looped lark. Here she is from another angle so that you can see her open beak. And a detail of the loops and stitching on the wings. I’m…
