fall card for Robyn

Just as I'm ready to wear tights and make soup in Georgia, Robyn is sporting lawn tank tops and making cold salads in Rio. I thought I'd send a little northern hemisphere back with her on her birthday card to remind her that somewhere there are leaves turning and days shortening and friends missing her.

felt WIP

Just me, Netflix, floss, felt and beads. Little project underway for someone I love.

tweaking and staging

I staged and took a bunch of photos a few days ago for the new Wee Princess Pea pattern. I'm hoping to finish up editorial tweaks and list the pattern by the first weekend in October. Time keeps slipping away. Where the heck did September go?

coupla cards

If you have some time, paper scaps, fabric scraps and glue you have all you need to whip out some cards and save yourself some cash. It's a great excuse to be a hoarder. Top card is for my soon-to-be niece's wedding shower, bottom card is for my Mom's birthday. Guess where she's going?

late for brunch

 "Ellora, the Queen says brunch is getting cold. Put down the book already and let's go."

 "Inna minute."

I have pattern testers all lined up (thank you thank you thank you) and I'm putting the finishing touches on the Wee Princess Pea pattern now! I hope to have the PDF pattern available in the shop in late September. 

This is a doll project that will be a delight and challenge to anyone who loves crafting, sewing, tins, doll houses and mini-anything. A couple of readers have asked about doing this project with their kids. While the finished toy is designed for school age kids, and while you could certainly include craft-savvy kids in the process, this is more of an adult skill project.

fall scrap card for Leigh

Here's a scrap card how-to if you get inspired to make some of your own. I know it's not officially autumn yet, but I can pretend. Isn't September such a pretty word? *dreamy sighhhh* Fall is my favorite. With the buckets upon buckets of summer rain that were poured over Georgia (thank you, Father) I'm crossing my fingers for some eye popping tree leaves.

Bring on the pumpkin spiced everything.

In related news, I updated the blog's masthead with pretty pretty fall colors and a cinnamon stick. If you are reading via RSS, pop over to the mothership to see it. 

Happy birthday, big sis. I looooooove youuuuu. Wanna trade birthdays? But not ages. Haha. (Ducking)
