HAPPY VALENTINES!

... I've just updated the shop with all the new lovelies just in time for your Valentine ...

Todays Update!

I thought it would be nice to get the time to actually look everything over before the shop opens properly at noon soooo... I'll be hosting a pre-view today for 15 minutes before the shop opens. Come by from 11:40- 11:55 to browse all the new pieces! The Shop will then close for 5 minutes until 12 noon sharp (all times noted in CST) so I can make all the pieces available and ready to load into your cart! ENJOY!

Note: Once you have an item in your cart, it is not secured to you until you’ve sent your payment. To expedite your check out- try logging into paypal before the shop opens. I think that might just work!

tomorrows the day!

- just photographing all the pieces for the update tomorrow- 

- see you all at the Shop at 12 noon CST!

<< Valentines Day Update >>

for the love of liberty of london fabrics

I have quite a collection of Liberty of London Fabric. Sadly none are large cuts, it's too pricey to buy much more than a yard, but that hasn't stopped my occasional splurge in adding a few more to my collection. It's the finest fabric I've every used, beautifully woven and impeccably designed. I'm using a little bit for for the Valentines Day Update. This pig is lucky enough to don a fine LL dress- and others have bits and pieces of the luxurious fabric too- Now, I'd like one in my size please.

To see more Liberty of London Fabrics see their website.

Domestically- Purl Soho has a very large selection.

so many things still in progress

 and just a few days left to get it all done- the update is on Tuesday!

bits from all over = pinterest + valentines

Bits pulled from random boards on pinterest 

(it's an amazing source of good stuff pulled from everyandanywhere on the web). 

My favorite? my dD partner, Emily's page of course.

a // studio // life// ramble //

The studio is a mess- everything is everywhere and in all different stages. I fear the state of things here reflect my state of mind today- I've got to pull it together- ha! Today is a short one in the studio... hmmmm what shall Claude and I do this afternoon? lunch out? play date with friends? trip to the library or the conservatory? any and all of these things sound nice, but first- back to sewing pigs! What a funny life I lead.
until tomorrow,
jm

hand drawn promises of love

(in the works- pen and ink valentines)

out of the haze... into the studio

Slowly everyone here is emerging from the blanket of illness that covered our house this weekend. I'm happy to be feeling better and even happier to have time to get back to work. Here's what's on my worktable and around the studio this morning. Little bits of color and love everywhere...
