stitching

A fleur de lys de Florence.

on sunny days

On sunny days,

it's nice to put the laundry on a line

and wait while the wind blows it dry.

spring wreath

no sewing required,

just a bit of ribbon and some pretty paper butterflies
and warm, springy thoughts.

giving

maybe the only thing better than receiving a surprise gift -

a big smile in a little box

(thanks, Jen!)

- is giving one to surprise another...

a pretty little princess crown

for a pretty little princess

		That's been added to your studio set.

still here

Still here - just on a summer break, so-to-speak...

making little pillows for a yet-to-be hung porch swing... using old quilting patterns,

being lazy about ironing,

and enjoying being outside.

in like a lamb

at least in terms of yarn and all things woolly...

Koigu I couldn't resist

hemp and wool

finally, a project - soon to be a stylish cloche (I do so hope)

another round for the friendship quilt

detail of one square in this round:

the moon and stars on a cloudy night

a bit from Dr. Seuss

Jo's pillow

complete with the cutest and softest little pink pig ever

and iridescent applique butterflies

the holiday table

my *big* holiday project this year:the red-star table runner

quilted by hand and machine

with little white button centers

peeking

a peek at some holiday sewing...
more to follow...
can't ruin the surprise...

a little felt bird

perhaps she'll decorate my tree next month...

detail

the back

nestled

little knit acorns

Inspired by Resurrection Fern's crocheted acorns

all together

a little closer

still closer

two little buddies
