and so it goes...

our time in July and August have been spent picking flowers from out garden, enjoying all things great and small, and dressing up for birthdays.  these long hot days of summer are traveling by too fast, and already i can't wait for fall...

baby surprise jacket

after hearing her name so often, i though who is this woman?  elizabeth zimmerman.  a witty knitter from days not so long ago, who i think i am growing very fond of. This is my first from The Opinionated Knitter, Elizabeth Zimmerman's Newsletters 1958-1968...

use what your mama gave ya...

i cant help but use my daughter Gigi as my model, delicioso!
These are some pictures from a new line that i've been working on. Inspired by Alabama Chainin, these are layered and hand stiched recycled t shirts girl's dresses. woman's skirts have been made, pictures are coming.

The first blog is always the hardest they say, they are right...

in 2007 i though i, "hey i can do that!"

and so it begins..

...so, 2 years later here i am actually typing my first entry. I think i just over thought it, you know? I thought it needed to be extraordinarily beautiful like decor 8 or filled with handmade object of art, made by rosy cheeked lads like Soule Mama...but my pictures weren't special and my comments not clever enough, or so i thought. people seemed interested.

but then, what should it be about? well, in a nutshell...me. This includes the happy me, the sad me, the zany me, the flakey me, the pretty me, the ugly me..and maybe if i include all the things...somebody, somewhere will be curious enough to see wanna see what i'm going to do next...

so here it goes...




that wasn't so bad
