Sewing, blogging, and creative business.
I’m very excited to have finished this patchwork Progress Pride Flag quilt. The pattern is by Bobbie Gentili from Geeky Bobbin. All of the fabrics are scraps from my stash.
This was a fun project and the finished quilt is really bright and colorful. As part of this process, I also enjoyed learning more about how the design of the Progress Pride flag came to be.
The title of this post sounds like it could be somebody's name. Today I finished the second in the series of crows. The first one is alighting and this one is standing. I'm hoping to set up a formation of crows in various stages of flight, and another formation of white gulls. Bizarre Bazaar wasRead More →
I finished the second of my trio of roosters for the show in March. At the same time I made two more white bird ornaments and I will do another post and shop update with them soon. Over Thanksgiving I brought my new camera and an owl, a rooster, and the new peacock to NewRead More →
I have been thinking of making a peacock for a few weeks. I knew it had to be a white peacock because I am just really not in to blues and greens for birds generally, at least not right now. As with creating any new piece there were lots of stops and starts and problemsRead More →
While the girls were at school this morning I got a manicure (with no polish), a pedicure and I got my bushy eyebrows waxed. Friday morning I get a haircut. I'm sprucing up the shabby storefront, as Charlie and I like to say, and it does feel good to spend a moment on myself. IRead More →
I took a bit of a break from owl making yesterday to make this little bird ornament with glittered wings. She is flying in my studio now. I'm Jewish, as you might have guessed by now, so I've never had a Christmas tree to decorate. Mostly I'm more than okay with this, but I doRead More →

A second flying bird. Actually this is the third one. The real second one is now at Art Star in Philadelphia along with this owl and rooster pair. If you live near Philadelphia I hope you'll stop in at Art Star. It looks like an incredible gallery and store. As part of the show atRead More →
A new rooster in deep reds for the show at Young Blood. I cleaned my studio space and did some brainstorming and planning at the end of last week in order to get ready to make things for the show. The color palette will be the colors that I love the most right now –Read More →
Friday morning I had an hour free and got to go to an incredible estate sale in Needham. A little cape-style house was being emptied of its contents, clearly a lifetime of collected treasures from an elderly couple. I always feel so sad at these sales, seeing old family photos up for grabs along withRead More →
