Slow but steady progress on birds. As camp winds down I have only the evenings to sew, but they are lovely quiet evenings with my ipod and little piles of drab fabric.
Roxanne saw Stella’s dress and wanted me to make one for her to start school with, too. We went to the fabric store together on Saturday afternoon and she picked out wild rainbow fabric with hearts and stars. Four-year-olds have daring taste. This dress will have the addition of a ruffle, in orange stripes! She is beyond excited about it.
Yesterday was my birthday. I am now 33. Strangely, I had forgetten how old I was mid-way through this year and thought I was already 33 so it doesn’t feel a year older to me. My brother and his family were in town yesterday so we had them over for lunch. Then we took the Subaru to the dealership to drop it off for service and on the way there we saw a double rainbow. It was the kids first rainbow and so perfectly formed and so clear. On the way home we saw a fox running through our neighborhood. A good luck day. And Charlie and I went out to Oleana in Cambridge for dinner. Tasty.

Happy birthday! Funny… I, too, always think that I’m a year older than I am. My husband has to remind me that I age myself.
Rainbow fabric with hearts and stars… if only I could be so bold!

I love your birds! This one is particularly special. I think the loose threads really ‘make’ it. It would look too neat and tidy without them. Well done you!

Hi!
I have just watched through the 23 pages of your flicker gallery! Your work is so amazing! I really really admire your capacity to give life to all those touching animal and little beings. They are truly touching… And also I love the way you make a little installation to show them, you really make some sculpture with it, it’s fantastic! Excellent setup!
I have little stars in the eyes thanks to you! đŸ™‚
You got all my admiration.
Best regards,
Aurélie
