Embroidered Wings
I spent some peaceful summer hours outside stitching this past weekend. This season & I … we were truly meant for each other!
{ Happy Sewing } … Ruffled Neckline Dress
I learned to sew at a very young age. My Mom made most of our clothes when we were little (and also when we were no longer quite so little). She had learned from her Mom, and so it goes. Emma is impressing me with her abilities when she can sit still long enough to […]
{ Happy Sewing } … Monsieur Pocket Pillow Tutorial
My son loves arranging things (pillows, stuffed animals, etc) on his bed and he’s been asking for a personalized pillow for some time now. My Les Monsieurs fabric line offered the perfect inspiration. I decided to be really playful with the personalization aspect, and created a soft 2-sided doll. One side is Max today, the other […]

{ Happy Sewing } … Desk Chair
Le petit Monsieur in my life was the oh-so-happy recipient of a cute wooden desk I had found on the roadside recently. I figured he needed his very own personalized chair to go with it. I asked him to choose which Les Monsieur fabric he would like me to use (I was thinking just one […]
Candy Forest Swimsuits!
I just spied some oh-so-cute swimsuits made with my Candy Forest collection of fabrics. I had licensed this collection early last year to Jelly the Pug. I knew they would be creating a line of dresses with it, but I almost fell off my chair when I saw these this morning. From sporty to more […]
Today’s Courier Delivery: Ribbon
I love days when either Mr. UPS or Mr. Fedex show up on my doorstep. Today’s delivery was a good one … all the way from Germany, some beautiful intricately woven ribbon, designed by little old me! First we have Confetti, a happy little dot that looks like a party This is Zinnia Medallion in […]
A Bow Tie?
Gotta love a kid’s accessory that’s dapper, yet still fun and young. Oh … If only we had more dressy events to attend. Though, truth be told, Max would wear these with a t-shirt to go play at the park given the chance. I loved making these and playing around choosing which motifs to highlight […]
Feeling A Little Hot?
Crazy hot & humid here. A little refreshment was in store. Lemonade seemed the logical choice, but not your typical hum-drum lemonade. It may look a bit like tomato juice, but I assure you it is a light refreshing berry drink. Raspberry Lemonade 1/4 cup sugar (I don’t like overly sweet juice, so adjust to […]
My First Ever, Wee Little Quilt Market Booth
Yes, it was tiny! All of 5′ x 10′. Actually, that shot looks like a dollhouse. Here’s some perspective and proof I was actually there: Not only was it little, but I had to visually divide it to show the 2 separate collections and not have it all look like a jumbled visual mess. So, […]
