a very nice invitation

Something very nice happened recently. The funny and adorable Kate and Alison over at http://www.cluckandtweet.com/ have invited me to post weekly. I know, I'm so honored and thrilled. They are both brilliant writers and I've been a fan since the beginning of their shared blog. If you have a few minutes, fly on over there and show these women some love. Believe me, you'll be happy you did. And if you are wondering what to make for dinner, I just posted a recipe and a secret and maybe a little risque craving.

sunshiny posy

This is the first of many posies. I'm sure of it. The possibilities are endless. This one is fashioned from a scrap of up-cycled ticking. I'm loving the yellow. It's sunny and spring-like. I'm feeling spring-like. Like wanting to push open all the windows and break out my flip-flops while the boys play catch in the yard. It shouldn't be too long now. In the meantime, I'll be wearing a bit of spring on my jacket or sweater or handbag. Oh, the possibilities. :)

feeling cozy

We are feeling cozy this end of February--beginning of March. The grey skies have blanketed us in for the weekend. With a couple under-the-weather boys and an un-birthday dinner for my leap-year baby husband, staying in and keeping cozy seems like a good thing to do. This is just a small project I whipped up the other evening, while wishing for a yummy vanilla chai. It's the *to-go joe cozy*. Mmmm...in this creamy caterpillar chenille with a vintage button. Delicious.

working hard? playing fully

Ah, haven't posted in 100 years. Well, it seems that way. I'm still alive. In fact, I find it difficult to create fully and write about it at the same time. What do you think? Can you balance both? I've been busy in my studio playing...er, I mean working on new designs and new projects. I'm hoping to have a few pieces completed in the next few days. With the snow covering everything outside it is the most perfect reason to stay home and play...I mean work. I love my life :)
