one of my new prints for fall/winter. coming soon! inspired by polish pottery, but i’ll bet you already guessed that! it’s printed on my very favorite fabric, natural unbleached cotton duck. i love everything about this fabric…the little specks in it, the weight and texture of it, and i love the smell of it fresh off […]

these cute shirred ric rac flower brooches are super fast and easy to make, even for someone like me who has little patience for hand stitching! these are based on part of a ric rac wallhanging project from the book “creative crafts & stitchery” (1976). in the original project, the shirred ric rac was glued to […]
i took a little break from making them, but since i’ve gotten a bunch of requests for them, the dutch treat tea towels are back! i’ll be offering more of the toadstool tea towels too, as soon as i have a chance to print them up.
here’s a sneak peek at one of the new skirt prints i finished up this week. i’m calling this one ‘fairytale forest’, for obvious reasons! there’s also a third colorway featuring red riding hood. it’s a wrap-around skirt with the deep dark woods print all the way around, and fairytale figures on the very end based on illustrations from […]
