Blithe Bazaar Recap
I just wanted to post a few photos from the Blithe Bazaar, that was a couple of weekends ago. Flower and I shared a table again and once again I sold almost everything I brought. Okay, I didn’t bring a ton of stuff, but it is encouraging nonetheless. It was so busy, that I didn’t have a chance to take many pictures until later in the evening, so I never got a good one of the table when it was all full. Not a bad problem to have though. However, I did get a picture of myself this time. Thanks Scotty! Flower has been working on these cute little yarn pom-poms…

Holiday Gift Idea- Handmade Pillow Tutorial
Surprisingly, I recently just made my first pillow ever. I have made clothing, all kinds of housewares, and dogs beds galore (which are very similar), but never a pillow. I found out I love sewing pillows! They are so easy and satisfying to make. And what a great gift idea! I mean, everyone needs pillows, right? I made several of these for the Blithe Bazaar, so I got a lot of practice, and I sold them all! So if you are in search of a handmade gift idea for the holidays, make this pillow. Make it now and I will show you how! It sews up quick too! This tutorial is…

Blithe Bazaar
Flower and I had so much fun at Makers Market, that we are returning to Center Studio, on Saturday, December 7th, for the 4th Annual Blithe Bazaar. It’ll be some of the same stuff we had at Makers Market, and some new items as well. My hot pads went like hot cakes last time (ha!). So if you missed out on my oven mitt and potholder sets, I’ll have more at this sale, with fun new patterns! Also returning is Flower’s bacon jam. If that’s on your list, I would suggest coming early. It sold out last time. This time, I am going to try not to blow all the money I make on the other…

My Studio
As I gear up for Fall and Winter weather, I have been spending less time in the garden and more time in my studio. Mostly I’ve just been cleaning it lately, since it was kind of a disaster from a Summer full of just throwing stuff in there and then running outside. My studio hasn’t been this clean in a long time, so I figured now was good time to give y’all a little studio tour. It’s changed and morphed a bit over the years. I hope these photos aren’t a total assault to the eyeballs. I was hopped up on Rockstar when I picked the paint color. I’m too lazy/busy…

I’m Engaged and Going to Make My Own Wedding Dress!
I have been sitting on some exciting news for over a month now, but it’s time to announce that Matt and I have gotten engaged! He proposed in the most amazing and perfect way, in my garden, at dusk, with a ring attached to a garden gnome. It was a beautiful Friday evening and he lured me out to the garden, under the guise of picking snap peas for a salad. He even had champagne hidden behind one of the feed troughs, for when I inevitably said yes. After a few days of simply relishing the moment, we started talking details. One of the first things that came to my…
