Mod House Ornament: Jeremiah Eck

eck-2

Waaaay back when, before I’d discovered my art quilting groove and before blogging was mainstream (really, there was a time when this was so!) I used to subscribe to Fine Homebuilding, and several other shelter magazines, and dream…dream of the day that I would have the budget and time to commission a beautiful house built…

Mod House Ornament: Neutra

Neutra

Hey There! I’ve got a new “ask Candy” over at Alamode Stuff – it’s about how to add one of those “grab my button” boxes to your sidebar! One of the things I’ve been wanting to do with my houses is to give them better names than “Flat roof” etc…  Alamodestuff Linda suggested naming them…

New Mod House Ornaments

Well, I finally made some new Mod House Ornaments in a new color palette I call “Pine Forest”, with shades of brown of the bark and the carpet of old needles, the green of this years needles and bit of blue sky. So what do you think – would you like to move into the…

More Process Photos

I’ve been building a set of Mod House ornaments in my new “Pine Forest” palette. I was hoping to have one finished by the end of the week to show you…but I don’t work that way. I prefer to work on all 6 at once, each wee house side being it’s own study in composition,…

One Moment: My Boy is Growing Up

Last weekend I took Liam, my 13 year old to audition for a regional orchestra, the Claremont Young Musician’s Orchestra (CYMO) not once…but twice. This is a group (actually 2 groups with upper ages of 17 and 20) that meets once a week about 45 minutes from Redlands. They play several concerts each year, occasionally at Disney Hall…

Work in Progress, and a Call for Makers

Just popping in to say I’m busy busy busy…thought I’d share what’s on the worktable right now: Not very glamorous…that that’s how it goes sometimes! A Call for Makers I feel badly that I’ve not been paying much attention to my series “Makers Must”. I didn’t do a great job of keeping track of who I asked…

And the winner is…

Mini-pocketin-final

Maree! I’ve sent you a message! Woot! Thank you all for entering, and “friending” me on the Google connect widget! A couple of you commented that you much prefer staying connected that way, so I’m glad I figured it out! I spent the weekend dyeing a bunch of going green tote bags and I’m also…

One Moment: I am not a manufacturer!

About a week ago, Chris Daly of Dye Candy sent me pix of a baby wearing a gift she’d purchased from me last fall, one of my  ”Freshly Picked” baby outfits. Oh…my…GOODNESS…so CUTE! (And what an awesome quilt he’s lying on!) For the umpteenth time, I wish I had been the maker I am now…
