Rainbow

Ah, happy spring! Photo was taken a couple mornings ago from the front deck. It is so good to see signs of spring.

I’m still around! And possessing a new understand and appreciation for people who live through a big remodeling job in their home! We are finally in the stage of our work where we can move in. Sans trim, doors and details…but who cares at this point! We were about to poke each others eyes out over all the boxes, clutter and the maze of furniture we’ve had stored on our main floor while the other was being completed.

My new studio saw its first bit of sewing work the last few days. I’d take a photo but seriously, imagine four white walls and a big closet and you’ve got it. I’m excited to slowly decorate and make it an inspiring place to work.

Along with my new workspace we also added a craft/homework area for the kids, family room for all of us, laundry room, bathroom and a workout room. Woot! It seems a little overwhelming at the moment as I try to figure out how to pull together a decorating scheme. But I’m sure Apartment Therapy, Design Sponge, Decor8 and many other blogs will give lots of inspiration!

By the way, I’ve been sewing through all this and have enjoyed quite a large number of custom orders the past month. If you don’t see the color you need in my store here, contact me!

Email troubles

Oops, if you sent an inquiry through email or through the contact form, would you please resend? Silly me…I was sick of spam and must have set my spam filter way too high. Unknowingly, nearly all my incoming emails were being auto-deleted by the server. Ack!  Sorry for the trouble.It is corrected now.

The new workspace saga

The new workspace saga

Framers, electricians, drywall guys, plumbers. They’ve all been in and out over the past few weeks and though most are nice, professional and very competent, I’m sure ready to have this work finished!

So, if you noticed that the pickings are slim to none here in the online store and on etsy, this is the major reason why. Fingers crossed that we’ll be cranking out pillows and scarves here in a few weeks upon moving in to the new space. So exciting! I barely have enough patience to wait!

Boys sweater vest tutorial

Isn’t this sweater vest adorable?  You could make one too! The tutorial at Dana-Made-It is very thorough! And I noticed she has lots of fun ideas throughout her site.

Goodness knows I have a gazillion sweaters around here so I’m very tempted to whip up one of these vests for my little guy today.
