Comfort Crafting

December 19, 2011

I had a crazy week last week so I made a bird. It’s like crafting comfort food.

I’ve put her in my shop.

I’m hoping for a quieter, more focused week this week. I’ve got writing and sewing deadlines before the kids are home on vacation.  Wishing you a productive week, too!

    I love birds and this one is so sweet and so pretty. Would love to learn how to make these myself… maybe one day!!

    I love the phrase “comfort crafting.” I’m not a good cook and food isn’t as soothing as sewing something I love to make. I’m in the midst of two of Emily Martin’s dolls (from the pattern from Martha Stewart ) and I’m having a ball.
