I made this oversized tote for my friend Wendy, a new mama.
Seersucker lined with cotton. (click for closer look) that's me on the right with my big baby belly
this is the opposite of oversized, it's a mini-tote for my friend Gina's little one year old, Hana.
a christmas gift for my old friend Jackie, it's tweed lined with seersucker, I thought it was a fun contrasting combo, there are buttons on both sides.
new bed linen, isn't that plush heart cute? It's the creation of my friend Wendy of

Hi everyone!! Happy New Year! It’s been so long since my last post, I’ve been itching to update this place and catch up with all of you☺
2008 is going to be an amazing year for me, filled with lots of new and exciting life changes. The 1st biggie, Keith and I are getting married in February!!! We’ve always agreed that our lives have been pretty great the way its’ been, and the only reason to get married would be if we had kids, which leads me to biggie number 2 dun dun dun…yep, we’re expecting our 1st this May, and it’s a boy!!! We both thought it was a girl for months and months, so we were really shocked when we found out yesterday, but we’re so ding dang happy. Yipeeee!!
Here is a pic of our wedding invitations that we’ve gocco’d, so much fun.
We’re keeping the wedding very small and intimate, family style. I’ll post the complete versions once we send them out.
things just sound cuter when you call it a cozy.
I made this for a friend's birthday, a true yoga aficionado. yep, still can't let go of the gingham.
It's based on the lovely Lotta Jansdotter pattern.
I've been in deep hibernation lately, but I miss crafting and getting inspiration from all of you.
My energy has been extremly low, and my list of gifts and orders to fill are growing.
I'm enjoying our recent cool weather, and getting lots of rest.
I hope to be back in full swing soon.
ahhh! Where'd the rest of the summer go?
we've been trying to make the most out of our warm days here, bbqs, beach, outdoor shows,
but every spare moment I've had lately has been spent on these little guys. They're almost ready to go,
I plan on making some gocco price tags for them before I send them off to the shop.
These two were commissioned from a friend in San Francisco, but they're final destination will be in PDX.
I love the fabric on the bunny, courtesy of Jenny from Wiksten-Made.
I'm anxious to get back into making clothes and bags and such, my studio will be a much more relaxing space now that it's cooling down here.
Have a fantastic week!
This was one of my birthday gifts from Keith. A vintage Lasonic boom box that he gutted out and made into a beautiful lamp.
The image doesn't do this justice, the speakers have been replaced with beautiful veneer. It gives off the most subtle amber glow,
I just love the contrast of the warmth of the wood against the metallic parts.
I also got my very own Gocco ! I've been pining for one for so long, but haven't had time to sit down and play with it yet,
if any of you guys know of fun sites that help with technique, etc. I'd love to hear about it.
today I turn 33.
This is my Larry Bird Year.
Have a great day blog friends, I know I will!!!!!
this little guy will be joined by 7 other plushies and will be headed for a shop in Venice, CA. 
my very first order from an actual shop! I really need to buckle down and get to work, I've been the mayor of excuses-ville lately.
the heat (or trying to stay cool) have been hindering my productivity. My goal is to have them completed by next week. 
San Francisco was amazing, great friends, great eats and beautiful sites. 
The best souvenier I brought back home with me, my take on
an appetizer we tried at the wonderful Universal Cafe. Baslsamic reduction drizzled over heirloom tomatoes, fried egg and bacon..yum!
If you're in the Bay Area and haven't tried the Universal Cafe yet, you must!!!!
Have a fantastic week!!!
this little tweed owl, was comissioned for a baby to be...she's almost here :)
a place mat for our new bathroom drawers
linen and felt
I am in love with Karta a new line out of L.A., just launched for fall.
I spotted some really beautiful blouses at a shop the other day, now I'm inspired to make a bejeweled blouse!
I'm heading off to a much needed vacation in San Francisco, have a fantastic weekend!!
xoxo
