I'm reworking one of the slow stitch kits listed on the shop to be more of a boro-inspired project. This project is SO CHILL! Simple lines, made with my hera marker every inch. Cotton & wool floss, sashiko needle and thimble. If you were thinking about picking up this slow stitch kit, I'd do it sooner than later. 😀 Also! My mom sent my daughter a couple of Shel Silverstein books, including Where the Sidewalk Ends. I hadn't seen this poem in ages, but it made me smile. Sending you a virtual hug today!! 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

Feeling immense gratitude for all the support of my shop this past week! Thank you; I'm humbled. 🥰 I haven't had a lot of time to sew in the last days, but I did manage to finish my Teatime Quilt. ✨ Some of you recently expressed an interest in kits for this quilt. I'm thinking about that now, and whether you would like your project to be hand sewn only or if you don't mind a little machine sewing. The only part you'd have to machine sew is the binding. Alternatively, I could make the backing fabric larger, so you only would need to fold over the binding and whipstitch it on. What do you think? ✨ I have tons of fabric in my stash, so I can put a bunch of fabric & thread kits together. The pattern on this one was made by painting on soy milk and then overdying with black tea. The back side was just wadded up in a bucket of soymilk, then overdyed as well. Now you'll never notice if I spill tea on it! ✨ Maybe I'll write up a tutorial for this on my blog, then you can decide what you'd prefer. In any case, it's a fun, easy and quick project to make. ✨ I hope you're hanging in there! We're still fine here, just doing our thing.

Hey. How's it going at home? I'm really starting to feel the impact of having very little alone time. But we are healthy here, as are our families, and for that I feel intense gratitude. I'm signed up for grocery delivery once a week, so I only have to leave the house every other day to mail orders. 💖 Thank you SO much for continuing to support my shop during this time!! It really means so much to me. And never have I communicated so tenderly with folks who pop by by shop-exchanging messages of hope and love and well wishes. Everyone is caring about and feeling concerned for one another. 💖 Today I taught my daughter how to make a friendship bracelet with embroidery floss. Good stuff. She has discovered some awesome online drawing lessons, and every day can't wait until she gets her daily daily screen time so she can get to her doodling. We really do benefit from all this extra time together, even though we get on each other's nerves from time to time. 💖 I'm doing a little stitching on fabric collage today, and loving making my stitch lines with a hera marker. Have you tried one? It's such a simple tool, but it so handy and I love the crisp, fine lines it can make! I highly recommend giving it a try. (I have some in the shop now 😁) 💖 Take care out there, friends. Sending you love and virtual hugs.

It almost feels like summer vacation, when day after lackadaisical day seems to meld into one big lump of time. Those days lose the sturdy structure of beginnings and endings imposed by "normal" daily routines, which have fallen away in this last little bit. I am not doing a lot of sewing lately, which kind of surprises me, but I am spending more time in the garden, thanks to all this free time + sunny weather. Trying to stay informed more efficiently, so as to limit my news consumption. We're all fine here. How are you? ❤️❤️❤️
