Poetry for Imbolc
I do not have to go To Sacred Places In far-off lands. The ground I stand on Is holy. Here, in this little garden I tend My pilgrimage ends. The wild honeybees The hummingbird moths The flickering fireflies at dusk...Moon Circles
This is my January page for the Bead Journal Project. I called it "Moon Circles" in honor of last week's full moon . . . After piddling around trying to design something for nearly the entire month, I finally just...Velvet Shoes
Let us walk in the white snow In a soundless space; With footsteps quiet and slow, At a tranquil pace, Under veils of white lace. I shall go shod in silk, And you in wool, White as a white cow’s...Oh, drat—more of that white stuff!
Can't you people do something about this?No such thing as 'too much fabric' . . .

Latest Excitement!
how pretty - I could just imgine Lucille Ball wearing it!
wonderful -- so nice thank you for sharing
OOooh this is the PERFECT apron!! No wonder...it's a vintage pattern. Fabulous.
Thanks, y'all!
How cute is that!!! I love aprons and I'm just now starting to make some. Great job. The fabric is so retro. Love it.
Fabulous! Makes we want to run to the kitchen and whip up something sweet! :o)
Made from a copy of a vintage pattern. Kaufmann fabric.
No, no—it's a Julie McCullough/Magic Threads pattern that I've had for ten or fifteen years and never got around to making. It's called Garth the Gargoyle, I think.
Wow! Great job!!!! Did you create this pattern yourself?
Thank you! I wasn't sure I could do it, but he's a gargoyle, after all—what could be wrong if he looks a little wonky?
Riley is going to love this! The detail work is fabulous! Job well done :o)
Here is the gargoyle I made for my grandson's Christmas gift—
He's made from an old Magic Threads pattern—I used fleece and felt, and metallic fabric for his wings and horns.

- I bought my daughter a doll for Christmas on e-bay once too. It was one they used to make in the 80's. They were so cute! They were felt covered. Very unusual & something you wouldn't see in a store. My kids are used to getting things from charity shops so unlike me as a kid, they don't mind getting that kind of thing for Christmas.
Spaking of scarves, I should get knitting!

- Thanks for your organizing tips...I was cracking UP about the fabric in the hallway. I think you're right, it really doesn't help curb the fabric appetite to see it in tubs all stacked in the hall! Congrats on getting all that vintage fabric. Do you have a favorite? I LOVE vintage fabric!

- I'm sorry you have a cold! Hopefully you'll heal up quickly.
With sewing I definitely go through phases like that. Sometimes it's one thing, sometimes another. I like the quick result with the toys I think.
I have a blast with the toy drop-offs too!
Your bags are really cute & the slippers?? Fabulous!!! The American girl clothes...oooh my daughter would love them! Do you sell them?
