Whew! The blog is working again and the upgrade was relatively painless. Like jumping off the high dive for the first time. Just a little bit of water up my nose.
I was on Wordpress 2.6 and upgraded to 2.9.2. The big incentive was my obsession with getting threaded comments functionality. It’s just so practical and [...]

Future Home of Pink Chalk Fabrics
Susan and I took a little field trip this morning to Sportsman Business Park on Bainbridge Island to visit the future home of Pink Chalk Fabrics. We had a good time and realized we definitely need to get out more during the day!
When I first walked into this space I knew it was the one. [...]
Indie Banditas Bazaar – Part III
I purchased this necklace for myself from Nancy Hom of Sunlan Designs, an amazingly talented silversmith and jewelry artist. It’s a cuckoo bird and I LOVE it so much. I’ve got to figure out a way to see her work again soon!
A Christmas gift for Caitlin. Sam Trout is a very cool looking artist making [...]
Indie Banditas Bazaar – Part I
Exhilarating, inspiring, serendipitous, joyful, and exhausting. I’m feeling thankful that I followed through on participating in the Indie Banditas Bazaar this past weekend on Bainbridge Island. I had that last minute stress of knowing I didn’t have enough finished goods for sale and wondering if I’d be too embarrassed to even set up my table.
Fortunately, [...]
Candied Fabrics New Website
Candy Glendening is a fiber artist I met 3 years ago when she volunteered to test the Note Taker, my first sewing pattern. I’ve enjoyed watching Candy’s artistic journey unfold, one of her latest creations are these fabulous 3-d houses titled Home is Where the Art Is.
She recently launched a new website and is celebrating [...]

Spring Quilt Market 2009 – Samples for Brewer Quilting & Sewing Supplies
I arrived home last night from Quilt Market in Pittsburgh. Quite the whirlwind trip. I’ll be sharing pictures all week of the fabulous booths and wonderful people I had the opportunity to meet.
I also brought back a ton of incredible new patterns and fabric samples which I’ll be giving away. A single drawing next Monday. [...]
Mini Pincushions in Print
Sew Simple Volume 11 should be on newstands now. It includes my pattern for the mini-pincushions. I received my gratis copy a couple of weeks ago. Very surprising to open it up and see my project on the cover!
The editor contacted me last Spring to see if I had any projects that might be suitable [...]
Craft Show – John Met Betty
More cuteness from the craft show. Coin purses made with vintage barkcloth and buttons by John Met Betty. Besides being another young, talented, vibrant and very cute crafter, Jill had a very simple yet effective display at the show:
The baskets were built up on the inside so the coin purses rested just near the top [...]
