The show is up! It took about 4 1/2 hours to put everything in the cases the way I wanted it. Charlie came to help me the last hour and half. He has a great eye for design. Above is a one of the big cases that flank the entrance to the children’s room. It…
Hooray!
Check it out! I made the Boston Globe today. And the front page of our local paper, the Wellesley Townsman. Lots of pictures. The photographer loved the Cube Zoo fish. He was this gruff guy and he just couldn’t get enough of them. It was so sweet. What a totally fun experience. We packed everything…
nearly there!
Just a quick post today to say that the shop has been updated! I’m so excited to see everything finally for sale all together. It is really satisfying. And my buddy Humpty Dumpty is up, too. And tomorrow I install the show. I just want to say thank you to Charlie, my awesome husband, who…
patchwork unicorn (grey and red)
I finished this unicorn today. I made him for a PTA fundraising auction at Roxanne’s nursery school. I’m hoping that a unicorn will be appealing to preschool-aged children and their parents. I’m actually not sure I’ll be able to to attend the event, though, because it is during nap time on the same…

turtle in a blue beret
A turtle in blues. I finally cut into some of my loveliest blue fabrics for this guy, including some vintage feedsack. Here is my inspiration for the beret.
a bird, a lizard, and some other stuff
I finished another bird and another lizard for the shop at MassHort. This bird is made from two of my favorite vintage brown florals and some white and natural linen. The lizard is super fancy gold crushed velvet and white linen. His eye is silver. So very glittery, this one. I’ve been busy with lots…
turtle (with party hat)
We are snowed in today. Charlie took the car. Nursery school is canceled. Roxanne spent nearly an hour at the kitchen sink this morning playing with suds and water with two valentine rubber ducks my mom sent. And we played out in the snow – twice already. And we baked bread. Now everyone is quietly…
bird 6
Bird 6 peering at the camera and posing with a beautiful canvas by Brigid McCabe. I’ve decided to do three sets of four toys for MassHort. Each set will include a lizard, a turtle, a bird and a snail. The first set is all in greens. Next up, browns. The snails will come at the…
turtle
Okay, two down for MassHort, ten more to go. Can you tell I sorted through my greens? Because I often use the tiniest pieces of fabric for toys, I keep every scrap. The cotton fabrics live in clear plastic bins, one for each color, on the bookshelves in our bedroom. To find the piece I…
