Paying it Forward

Sweet. 
Vivika won my book in Jane LaFazio's giveaway. 
Now she's paying it forward with a giveaway of her own.

Carrying Cases

I was inspired by Melanie Testa's sweet little pen case tutorial.


I had a scrap of fun screen printed fabric laying about and found some scrap batting.
A little linear free motion quilting in a few thread colors and viola!
Now I get to carry around one of my favorite vintage buttons and my pens can travel in style.


 I had a few other things laying about that needed travel cases.
I keep penny whistles and my recorder in the same turnabout desk organizer that I keep my scissors in.
Sometimes I take a little break and drive my family nuts with some whistling.

My poor little laptop is in the shop. It is a very good thing.
I waste far too much time online and now I'm diddling about in the studio instead.

For Your Inspiration: the Farmers Market Flowers










When you see these do the colors just bypass your brain and go directly to that place where joy lives in your heart? I think color, and music, have a direct line to our emotional center.
Have a lovely day!

For Your Inspiration: The Farmers Market





I've been wanting to go to the NC State Farmers market
with camera and without children for years and years now.
I finally made it. What a lovely morning!
