The green one with no feet and folded ears is the final version of the owl. I’m pretty excited that the pattern for this owl will be included in Softies, a book that will be published by Penguin Books and is due out in September of 2007. I am working on a second pattern, one…

collaged valentines
I’ve been making a lot of collages recently, in between bouts of sewing. I find it is a good way to refresh creativity. It is a different way of thinking, a totally different way of making – no fussy seams, no fiddling with stuffing. I made this series of five valentines. Each one had two…
gift crafting
The last few days I have been making some toys to give as holiday gifts. I made this little sock monkey for a friend who has had a thing for sock monkeys since childhood. I used a child’s size argyle sock for this guy so he is a great size – you can hold him…

And on Christmas Day we went for Lebanese food with good friends during the daytime and ordered super spicey Chinese food with…
The Holiday Marketplace
Last Thursday night was the craft fair I had been preparing for these past several weeks. The night before, Charlie helped me arrange all the softies and the cards and the aprons in such a nice, clever presentation (he has a serious knack for displaying stuff like this). Then, on the day of the fair,…
