Hexie Love!
Ta-dah! It took a little more time than I’d hoped, but it’s finished. And lucky for me, the sun was shining this evening, so I sat outside to do the hand-stitching. And in the end I had this cute little hexie pouch, perfect for carrying myriad bits and baubles. I hand-stitched the pop of green,
Vespa love
Many moons ago, Vespa scooters were a big part of my life. They haven’t been for years now, but my fondness for them continues. I found this amazingly awesome scooter fabric (from Michael Miller Fabrics) at Bolt, combined it with some stash grey twill and a little red embroidery floss, and Oh, Fransson’s Margaret bag
Ending with new beginnings
As a Christmas gift/bonus, my boss gave each of us a gift certificate to Cool Cottons, one of my favorite local fabric shops. One of the things I really love about it is how they organize the fabrics by color and not collection like the enormously overwhelming, but fantastic to have locally Fabric Depot. I

It’s a Giveaway!
I’ve participated in plenty of blogger giveaways, but always as the one hoping to win (which, in fact, I have been lucky enough to do twice!). Now it’s my turn to give back as part of the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day. There are a five hundred-odd blogs participating, and just for the price of
Going Coastal Is More Fun Anyway
My mother loves beach-themed anything and while she already has a lighthouse-themed quilt that he made herself, I’m thinking I might have to make something for her from this fantastic new line of fabric from Michael Miller. It won’t be available until summer, so that’s a nice reprieve. I’ve got plenty to do before then!
