I’d like to introduce you to my new deer friend. She popped into my mind when a customer asked if I had a shirt with a deer on it. Thank you, mystery shopper, for the inspiration. I also made a new bird, mushroom, and acorn. You know how I said that hanging with lovely people…
Hoorah!
Today’s craft fair was glorious. I got to sip coffee while chatting with dear friends, old friends, community friends, and neighbors. Many of our conversations were cut short, but even with all of the choppiness, I actually got caught up with people. And, I ended up learning more about those I didn’t know so well….
i’ll be there
I’ll be at the Hartsbrook Winter Festival on Saturday, from 9-4, selling these and these and these Hey locals, stop by and say “hello” if you end up going. Happy weekend! xo e
busy, busy
work around
Last night, I had finished sewing a little tree onto a soft jersey t-shirt when I noticed that there was a big hole in the arm pit. It wasn’t repairable since the hole was in the fabric rather than in the seam. It was the end of a long wonderful day, my feet hurt, and…
we found fall, again!
I’m thinking about music and light and darkness and what the last weeks of fall will bring. Our home life feels a little more condensed and saturated these days as I craft and bake, and while we sit by the fire, reading and playing. Saturday was rainy and cold, so we ate oatmeal, cleaned the…
bag of wood
Last week, while running into our local lumber yard/hardware store to pick up some paint swatches, I noticed big (huge even) $4.00 plastic netted bags of scrap lumber greeting me on my way in. I asked the guy behind the counter if the wood is loaded up with chemicals and he assured me that I…
pencil jar upgrade
Fancy Pencil Jar :: Remake Use to store pencils, rulers, paint brushes, kitchen utensils, and maybe even dried flowers or seed pods. Made with a glass jar, some paper, and glue. Cut circles and designs, glue them on an appropriately sized strip of nice quality white paper, place in jar, and use a few dots…
lucky me
Look what I found at the thrift store a few weeks ago! I know, I scored big, right? It is a soft little lap quilt made with vintage fabrics, and it happens to be in beautiful condition without any holes or tears anywhere. At first, I didn’t see it hanging between two worn out plaid…
tiny pine cone garland
Remember two weeks ago, when we went searching high and low for fall with our finding fall box? We are searching no longer. There is now blustery wind and orange leaves blowing through our yard. The nights are cold and we have been finding ourselves wrapped in blankets while sitting in the house. Pots of…
finding fall box: remake
Since today, at around 5:30, marks the first day of autumn, I decided that Chick and I should go on a finding fall search in our backyard while Miss. Mouse naps soundly in her bed upstairs. We found yellow leaves, seed pods, acorns, a gazillion tiny pine cones, and lots of flies and bugs that…
i s s u e
I’m all excited because my Collage Circle Garland project is in Family Fun‘s “Everyday Fun” section in the September 2009 issue. My name is in teeny tiny print running up the side of the page, which makes me so happy since I didn’t even notice that my name was there until our friend *Justin* pointed…
a hoot
We’re back from our trip to the coast of Maine, and we had so much fun! The food highlights were clam chowder, lobster-on-the-go [read: fresh lobster tail mixed with mayo on a grilled hot dog bun], baked, stuffed haddock, and breakfast for dinner at our favorite Portsmouth, NH breakfast place, The Friendly Toast. Chick is…
s h i r t s
This is a series of t-shirts I made for Cradle, a new maternity wellness center which just opened in the beginning of August. I stopped by to drop off the shirts on Tuesday and was ooooo-ing and ahhhhh-ing the entire time I was touring their space. It is beautiful, peaceful, and clearly lovingly designed. Even…
small places :: story telling in a jar
I’ve been spending some of my evening time developing new story stones that belong to different groups and series. I’ve already posted about the fairy tale series, which has made me beyond happy and, at the same time, feeling sort of creepy since most of the old fashioned fairy tales are mostly about being eaten…
