Oh, April! What a dreamy month. I love that the weather finally breaks and we get a beautiful background over which to celebrate Earth Day, or as many people are treating it now, Earth Month! My art has always incorporated lots and lots of recycling - for so many reasons. I love to use scrap... Continue Reading →
I really couldn't come up with a better title than that, despite the fact that I'm excited about how my latest sewing ventures came out! I take a break from crocheting occasionally to create garments on my sewing machine and serger - I love patchy pieces using upcycled garments and fabrics, and these two projects... Continue Reading →

First, probably one of my favorite things I've ever made: That's an ultra-floral retro fringed keyhole collar poncho of awesomeness... Continue Reading →
