I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful package from Lori at gryphons feather a week ago. She sewed a beautiful polka dotted canvas tote with pockets on the inside and a magnetic closure and she filled it with the most exciting treats. So much lovely yard and knitting needles (plus a handmade needle roll…
Moo Moo
My little calf staring in amazement upon arrival at the neighborhood Halloween party and parade yesterday afternoon. And consuming her third cookie. Right after this she freaked out and had to be taken home whereupon she fell down the front steps, freaking us out. She was okay, though. Things calmed down a bit after that….
Finishing things up for Thursday
I finished a new set of six owlets for the fair on Thursday. I made them all at the same time – assembly line-style. I usually don’t like to work this way because I find I lose interest in the project before I finish sewing the last few creatures, but it worked well for these…
Bumpkies and Back Tack
We spent the weekend visiting my in-laws in New London. Here is Roxy at the pumpkin patch picking out her “bumpky.” I love this time of year. We had a noreaster here yesterday, but today looks like such a pretty, sunny fall day. My back tack tote is finally done. It is denim on the…
A temporary hut
I couldn’t resist this fuzzy purple fur marked down 50% at Joann’s. The owl fabric came from a swap months ago with Katey at One Good Bumblebee. Here is a view from above of our weekend project – our first sukkah is now standing! After much cursing, some help from a friend, and a new…
Rain
It has been raining in Boston endlessly. Seriously, I think it has rained here every day for at least two weeks. I love listening to the sound of the rain, especially when I’m napping and when I’m sewing. It was lovely to listen while I put the eyes on this little bear. She also has…
Treating myself
I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me a comment or an email in the last few days. I’m terribly behind with everything and I haven’t responded to anyone, but I was really touched and cheered up by all the nice words. Things are slowly moving toward normal around here. I went…
I’m Back
With much happiness and relief I am finally ready to say that I’m feeling better! Thank you to everyone who sent such nice comments on my last post and who checked in on me via email during this difficult month. I have been laying on the couch feeling so exhausted and so nauseous that it…
Taking a break
I have not been feeling too well lately. I know I’ll feel better in a few weeks, but for now I haven’t been able to tackle many projects or do much blogging. I’m going to need to take a little crafting/blogging break for a while. I will hopefully post from time to time and I…
Mail and a new bear in the works
I received this lovely little package from Fiona. We did a little swap for her lion pin cushion and she sent along some adorable printed fabric and woven cherry ribbon and…real wool blanketing! It is so thick and soft I couldn’t believe it. Her cats made from this material must be really sturdy and so…
