The day before we left for vacation the contact sheet from the photo shoot arrived in the mail. And my editor emailed me the edited version of a set of pattern instructions. Armed with these two things, I can go right ahead and write the book. Yep, nothing else standing in the way. Fortunately, we…
lime rickey
We've been making a really good lime rickey here with Monin sugar free raspberry syrup. Maybe you've seen Monin syrups at the coffee shop. It is awesome to have them at home. For the lime rickey juice a lime into a glass of ice, add a bit of syrup and fill the glass with seltzer. …
on my desk today
a rooster, some preparations and my birthday is coming
This rooster was for sale at Blue Bottle Gallery and Boutique in Seattle and is now back home. Welcome back, rooster! He is up in my Etsy shop. My birthday is on Monday. I will be 34. Although 34 seems old to me, like the mid-30s are here and I'm beginning to find gray hairs, …

working away
Friday night I cleaned up my workspace. All the fabric for book projects is in a red rubber tote on the floor. When I start a new project I lay it all out on the bed and pick from those fabrics so that everything will look cohesive in the end. I printed out the table…
freshening up
Whether or not it is necessary, which is certainly debatable, I made a new pincushion today. Like wearing clean underwear when you go to the doctor, I felt it would be nice to have some fresh supplies ready for the photo shoot for my book. So, I dragged myself over to the hardware store and…
the winner!
Today was the last day to enter the make-along. Thank you so much for participating. We got some really lovely entries and it was great fun for me to host. It was interesting to see all the different sorts of fiber art people chose. We had quilts and knitting and dolls and embroidery hoops and…
