After long weeks and months of patient (and sometimes not so patient) waiting, we finally have the keys in our hands and are able to officially call our new house “OUR HOUSE.”  It is still sinking in!  In addition to this, my entire family came for a visit – the first time all of us [...]

spring cleaning?

After a couple months of increasingly claustrophobic conditions in my work space, I have finally had the energy to dig in and start trimming things down and refreshing.

Family Time

We are home from our visit with family. It was a needed break from the day-to-day. We had a nice time, with both our families, who we wish we saw more often.
Starting tonight, I will be catching up on orders. I have really missed sewing the last few days. I love what I do! Thank [...]

Newness is coming, really!

I have been grabbing every spare moment, which has been fairly few, to work on a new, small collection of organic clothing pieces I hope to have available soon. Comfy, versatile and stylish.
Here is a sample of a top I am working on (shown with a “rogue/blossom hybrid”).

Just For Fun

It’s been a while since I sat down and crafted for the sake of crafting. I realize I have missed it! So today I spent the afternoon creating what ever seemed fun and interesting in the moment. I made a number of new things, which you might just see in the shop soon : )
Also, [...]

New Season, New Ideas, New Machine

As with the season, a shift is occurring.

I recently purchased a new serger, to replace my 20 something year old Bernina, which is just about retired. The decision to get this new machine was based around my feeling to do some more exploratory, creative sewing and to branch out a bit from the focus I [...]
