This year’s picture of the Thanksgiving table. I take one every year. Last year I set up the tri-pod and did an auto-timer (drove everyone crazy, “the turkey’s getting cold Mom”). I usually just try and get the table. A snapshot of the food prepared for a celebration giving thanks for all the blessings in [...]

Craft Show – Ideal Bunny
The talent of the other crafters vending at La Befana was really impressive. I thought I’d highlight some of the displays and wares over the next week
This is Ideal Bunny. If you’re in Seattle you can see her wares in person at Urban Craft Uprising on Dec 6 & 7. That is not Jane at [...]
Craft Show – Display & Results
La Befana was a big success. High quality vendors and lots of customers. I grossed more than I anticipated which was icing on the cake. My primary goal had been to get out of my bubble and meet some fellow crafters plus have the opportunity to chat with customers.
The booth space was really small. The [...]
Open and Shut
11/21/08: Congratulations to Cara, comment #97! She chose my favorite one. Now off to the show!
Thoughts I had while taking pictures:
I LOVE how the big prints have a fabulous random pattern thing going on when closed.
Definitely need to keep one of the black & white ones for myself.
I REALLY hope the snaps hold up.
Looking for [...]

La Befana
La Befana is a holiday craft show featuring Bainbridge Island artists. It takes place this Friday and Saturday (November 21 and 22) at the Grange Hall on Madison Avenue.
I’m very excited to be participating. Selling handmade goods is definitely not my forte but I sure do enjoy the act of making, preparing, and interacting with [...]
Shop Talk Friday – Kaffe Fassett
New Kaffe Fassett prints in the shop. Duck Egg, Orange, Tobacco, Pink, Lilac and Lime. Wow. I can’t stop looking at them and dreaming of quilts.
Odds & Ends
PlanetJune is making me want to learn crochet. So many cute designs.
I received a lovely note from Tricia Waddell, Editor for Stitch magazine. She shared the news that the next issue of Stitch will be available May 12, 2009, with tentative plans for more issues if the first two issues sell well on the [...]
Virtual Quilting Bee – September
I tidied my workspace from head to toe this weekend. Desk, fabric shop area, and sewing room. My husband and kids thought I’d been been abducted and replaced by aliens. Yes, it’s been that long.
I’d hit the wall on finding things. That brochure? I know I put it mid-way down in the third stack from [...]
