finishing up some new springtime goodies this weekend! including this new screen print… inspired partly by these ubiquitous 1963 homco ‘tree of life’ decorations and this polish wycinanki i can’t stop looking at, i love this trio i’m calling this one the ‘beanstalk skirt’ because that’s what it reminds of. new goodies on my website next week!
hi there! it’s been a while! i saw these cuties online and had to make some… spray painted, then handpainted and clear coated. now, before you start to question my sanity, let me tell you i already did that when i started to paint clothespins (clothespins? for crying out loud, what am i doing? i don’t […]
plaid poppy skirt 20% off until midnight (PST) Saturday 11/13! chalet skirt orange crush skirt toadstool patches a-line petticoat (that fits perfectly under my skirts!)
with all the sewing that goes on around here, i end up with alot of empty plastic cone spools. i think there must be something i can make with them so i can’t throw them away. it seemed pretty obvious that they would make great toadstool stems…so with some styrofoam balls, a glue gun and some rug […]

i finally decided on a new tee style… it’s a cotton/rayon/poly blend heathered tee. i’ve been wearing around the color combos that didn’t make it onto my website and i have to say they’re super soft and comfy, form-fitting, a little slinky even, but not tight. the neckline is a little lower and loser than […]
i found this really lovely embroidered pillow at the thrift store the other day. bunny + acorns! it matches the livingroom perfectly, and it matches this slipcover i’ve been crocheting for the livingroom chair… the colors remind me of the california hillside, that ‘antique gold’ color being all that dry grass! like my view from the front […]
