It is a warm, stormy fall day out there. Inside, I am having an amazing time sewing something new from felt. Here is a sneak peek. Can you guess what it is?
lion
I finished this lion yesterday afternoon. I got really into the methodical process of sewing the mane onto his head. And tying each french knot for the whiskers. He will be part of the group I send to gallery hanahou later this year. I love making the wool felt animals. Seeing them standing on my…
pink kitty: a journey
The day we brought Stella home from the hospital, in late April of 2006, my mother-in-law gave her a pink kitty stuffed animal. We carefully put it beside her in her bassinet. As you can see, at that time kitty was bigger than she was. Kitty stayed in the bassinet and then moved to Stella's…

two accomplishments
Today is Roxanne's first day of First Grade! New shoes, new dress, hair trimmed and ready to go. And I am off to the post office to overnight the author's proof of The Artful Bird back to Interweave. It arrived on Saturday, which gave me four days to edit a 160 page manuscript. I'm so…
it’s my birthday
Today is my 35th birthday. So far, I've had a nice day. Roxanne and Stella gave me a big stack of of handmade cards this morning, with plentiful tape and stickers all over them.
