Thank you all!

It was an exhausting but wonderful update... thank you to everyone who stopped by and for all the kind notes a well wishes. Looking forward to putting my feet up for a few days before the little one arrives, but by the way my belly has been feeling, who knows if I'll even get a few days!
Before I get too far ahead of myself...check out the mountain that greets me at my door. These will all be off to the post tomorrow... more little bundles of Joy!

Ohhh, and if you were wonder what's going on in that photo, that's my Murphy Bed Ironing Board in the hallway next to my studio. It's been a dream... works great, packs away easily, and holds lots of stuff. What more can one ask for?

squirrels in progress...

I've been working on adapting the Lookout Bunny into a squirrel pattern... it's looking good so far, and I'm excited to see how they turn out. You can see the finished pieces on the Website Update this coming Tuesday!

another find...

I love this ebay store... they're always selling such cool oddities.

a summer day in the studio...

our little mobile...

Jay and I finished our little mobile for over our changing table... it's a smaller version that what we'd been planning, because my parents made us the most amazing mobile ever. So here's the details of our humble attempt at making something sweet and kinetically engaging.

We cut little bird shapes out of balsa wood. Jay used an exacto blade to cut them out, not so easy, but seemed to work well.


I painted a glue/water mix onto each side of the wooden shapes and stuck on a cotton print. Once the first side dried, I cut it out with a sharp pair of scissors, and repeated that for the second side.





Once the wooden shapes were all covered and dry, we assembled the mobile with little pieces of drift wood we picked up off the beach.


Ok, now back to work on the pieces for the update! Hope to post more photos later today of all that good stuff! It's coming along really well... can't wait to show you all, all the new bits and pieces!

today on the worktable...

Lots of projects in process today.

Update

This will be the one and only update this summer.
I'm expecting my first little bundle of joy in the next few weeks,
so I'll be taking a few months off sewing to spend time loving up and getting to know the littlebit!

If you'd like more information about how my website updates work:

check out all the details here.

Email me with "reminder" in the subject line if you'd like me to send you a note reminding you a day or two before the update.

While I've been posting in process images here to show off what I'm working on, rest assured (as usual) I won't be preselling any pieces for the update. So, come early and see all the new Goodies here!
