Things Lately
Working on lots of projects lately, which makes everything seem to go slow, but I don't mind. Pictured below: A drawing in progress, a pouch for Mom, hand-sewn hexagons, making baby leggings for upcoming markets, estate sale fabric treasures. So happy it's summer.

blog hop
i was very flattered to be tagged by the lovely Sara of Mixed Emotions to join the blog hop that's been going around. she is such an excellent sewer and always looks so glamorous while modeling her handmade wardrobe.
my blog hop Q&A:
Why do you write?
i really enjoy taking photos and documenting projects. having a blog has been a fun way to share my work and to make connections with people who have similar interests.
What are you working on?
right now i'm making piles of Wrist Zips for the shop and to sell at upcoming holiday markets. also, i just finished a baby hat for our newest little cousin and now i'm sewing up a few more from my own fabric designs to sell in the shop.
it's sometimes a challenge deciding what to sew for myself with so many cute vintage patterns and fabrics to chose from… i was waffling between the ones pictured above until Marilla released her Maya pattern, which is now cut out and ready to be sewn up!
knit-wise i've been working on a shawl from this pattern and in the studio i've been drawing tiny tumbling muscle men and, as usual, lots of little animals and plants.
How does your blog differ from others of its genre?
i think my blog is different because i share such a range of my own projects. from sewn garments and knitting projects to art, illustration and film photography… plus the random "daily life" or "funny things" post. i like to mix it up.
How does your writing process work?
i enjoy writing, but on this blog the images do most of the talking… i especially like to keep things mysterious when posting artwork. when sharing sewing/crafting projects i begin with the photos and and then describe noteworthy bits of my making process while still having fun with words. (i love alliteration).
okay, now i'd like to pass the blog hop torch to two lovely gals: Emily & Tea. both are excellent sewers who know how to pick the perfect fabric for a pattern.
i love Emily's style and pretty much want to copy everything she makes… i'm totally impressed by her drafting skills. did you see her self-drafted railroad pants? the perfect fit!
Tea makes the most delighful dresses. she is an archeologist and i love that a lot of her garments are made to be "stylish while digging". Tea uses song titles to name her makes, giving us a glimpse of her current soundtrack. very cool.
P.S. the cat painting in the background of the baby-hat photo is by david. you can get a print of it here!

best bits from these snowy days...
the view from our dining room window and a bright stop on our snowy walk (before it got super-cold).

meow deluxe
i am having fun adding special details to these new screen-printed kitty pouches. i found some deluxe metal zippers with an antique brass finish and decided to add leather pulls, so i searched around for mini rivets to match. oh, and we printed our logo on the lining, too... renegade shoppers get first dibs!

getting ready...
for tomorrow's local handmade homemade sale. lots of tags, stickers, signs and packaging... i enjoy designing and making these almost as much as the products themselves.

finishing
a couple of projects nearing completion.
first, a scarf i've been working on for months. just another inch or so and then weaving in all those ends. (blah).
and then a little crocheted rug. finally found a way to use up a load of (handed down) acrylic yarn. yay!
i'll share more photos when these are finished.
on another note, our shop has been open for one month and to celebrate we are having a sale on our most popular product: handsoap. enter coupon code HANDSOAP20 to receive 20% off. (handsoap sets only. sale ends march 7).
also, this video is great.
