"What’s mommy working on?" is a daily, if not hourly, question around here. Roxanne loves to look at the craft desk and check in on my progress. (To daddy she asks, "Are you going to have a beer tonight?" That should tell you something about the goings on in our household.) Anyway, I am actually…
Shop Update
crab
I couldn’t resist. I’m from Maryland originally and I love crabs. My birthday is in early August and I always picked Maryland crabs as my birthday dinner when I was growing up. This guy was a perfect way to use up one my favorite pieces of vintage fabric – the black and red chains. I…

turtle – a second try
You didn’t think I was going to give up, did you? I rarely give up. I did Teach For America, after all. We don’t give up easily. A new turtle with a few corrections. And a jaunty cap.

Here is another example. I think this IS possible, even with my two babies at home. Something I’m thinking about. Do you know…
