I had an awesome trip to New York. Purl Soho was beautiful, as expected, and Handmade Crafternoon was so amazing it is hard to describe. When I arrived there was already a line out the door. There were 90+ people there to sew birds. Wow. A huge thank you to Robert Kaufman for the yards…
a workshop and a new technique
A quick break from the Elements of Soft Toy Design posts to give a little update on other crafty happenings around here. I held my very first workshop last week at my house. I had seven women over to make sock monkeys. It was really fun! I remember that I love teaching. I used to…

amazingly delicious sesame tuile cookies

I made a little video with some family photos, including some pictures of our new little one. I only shed about a million tears doing this. I hope you like it!
She’s here!
Josephine Alexandra Glassenberg was born December 6, 2010, at 4:07 am. She weighed 8 lbs. 5 ounces, 21 inches long. Labor was really fast (we arrived at the hospital at 3:05 am and she was born an hour later). This was my first experience with natural childbirth and working with midwives. It was incredibly painful,…
40 weeks + 3 days
I can't commit to starting a big sewing project right now. Even if I could finish it, psychologically it just isn't going to happen. Lots of little projects are coming instead. First, a fabric tissue holder. And second, a patchwork pincushion with the selvege of some natural linen, and two wooden buttons. Here's the front…
repurposed wool hat
I made this elf hat from a pattern in Bend the Rules Sewing, except I added a lining. The striped wool was one of my favorite maternity sweaters. I wore it when I was pregnant with Roxanne and Stella, but when I pulled it out of the bag of maternity clothes from the attic to…
