I designed a holiday edition apron. (I posted a little preview of the pocket earlier.) Unfortunately my first batch was a failure. I used a navy blue vintage ribbon (so cute), and made five aprons, but when I washed them the blue bled onto the red and white fabric. I set aside the project for [...]

Saya’s Christmas dress from Mette arrived yesterday. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but it’s made of a really pretty wool material with a little bit of sparkle to it. It’s a simple design, but it is so well made has adorable details (and really cute pockets.) You should have a [...]

We had a hard time deciding what to do for thanksgiving this year, but I think in the end we were exactly where we needed to be, doing exactly what we needed to be doing. We celebrated this year with just the three of us, and it was a really good day. I was planning [...]

I have listed some children’s pottery in our etsy shop. Junji did such a lovely job with these.

…just a simple quilted coaster that I made from fabric that I received from the vintage swap. Thanks Hannah! I should have taken a picture of the fabrics that Hannah sent before I started cutting them up. I always forget to take before pictures. Isn’t this floral print so sweet? I made a few sets [...]
