sweet birds

As I'd hoped, I was able to get in some sewing this weekend, and it was on birds for a mobile made from the pattern at spool sewing. These might not look exactly like my kind of fabric choices--way more pink than I normally do--and that's because a friend and I worked on them for her sister's new baby's nursery. They'll assemble the mobile when she visits in a few weeks.


I think they turned out really sweet as a set, and I love how there are some surprises on a few of the bellies. Next up, a set of birds--not in pastels!-- for me.

i'm back (i think)

It feels like I'm posting again for the very first time. Hard to find the right photo and state of mind, but I have to get back into this. I just haven't been feeling like myself lately. And what's missing? The creativity. So, I'm back to the sewing machine this weekend to work on this super-cute bird mobile project.

The planter above is from greenware design. They were at the craft fair I did last November in Savannah. That seems like ages ago now.

Did you know yesterday was Teachers Day? I didn't, until I got the sweetest of notes from a student I've become close to. That, and a few other little things have happened this week to remind me how meaningful my job is. Just what I needed to climb out of this rut.

I hope to be back very soon with evidence of creative progress!
