I’ve always been a firm believer that the business success I have the potential to achieve is up to me. That a colleague or competitor’s success does not and can not negatively effect my own. In fact, if we join together and share our knowledge there are opportunities beyond anything each of us could reach [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]

She recently launched a new website and is celebrating [...]

I devour a wide range of business related media. If it’s available to be read or listened to sign me up. Here are a couple of my online favorites right now:
Modish BIZtips – this is a new to me blog that I’ve been following for a couple of months now. It features articles by Jena [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
