No, not again with the pictures of roses you say! I can’t help it, they’re just so beautiful. You know, I don’t get out much, right? My world is quite small, and this rose garden is a big part of it…I walk past it every time I leave or enter the house. The roses have just exploded!…

Mother’s Day is Coming
With Easter so late this year, Mother’s Day is around the corner! Yikes! One of the items on my to-do list is finally ready to go: I’ve added a fancy schmancy cart system to my online shop! Which means that I’ve got a way for you to see what’s been added to your cart while…
A Set of Nesting Buckets
The fabric basket I made to hold the fabrics for my fabric dyeing tutorial had been knocking around in my head for a long time…like 2 years or so! The combination of using a layer of SF101 and batting and turning the top of the basket over makes it quite sturdy, yet still flexible….
Winners!
Well, I had fun reading all the supportive comments on my “Turning 5” post. I surely hope I find a way to offer more classes to more people as time goes by! Here’s the results: Sherry and Gail, look for emails from me! Those lucky gals will be choosing either a hand dyed scarf or…
Snapshots from our Easter
How was your Easter? We had a great day yesterday! (Edit: Before I forget, my giveaway ends tonight – head over to enter if you haven’t yet!) For the first time in forever, Andrew did NOT have a Sunday morning Easter gig (even churches feel the economic downturn!). So he got to SEE the kids participate…
Tutorial | Dyeing Primary Tints
I had a lot of fun writing up a beginning fabric dyeing tutorial for the folks at Sew Mama Sew, it covers probably the first type of dyeing a beginning dyer should do…making tints of a primary color. I had lot of fun folding, stacking and snapping pix of the finished product: But I ALSO…
Checking in on my April Goals
Well, today was a busy one! I gave a final exam at noon for one of my classes, and then had final poster presentations for my other class at 3 – not the best timing ever, but at least they’re over, and except for grading, I’m done with Spring semester! I’ll have the rest of…
Custom Hand Dyed Silk Stole for A Wedding
I had another customer drop by yesterday…this one met me at Red Dirt Art Festival last weekend. She was looking for a stole to wear with her wedding dress, which is a light honey, buff sort of color I’d probably call “champagne”. We looked at my scarves and her cell phone picture of it, and…
Complete: Commission for 104 Hand Dyed Scarves!
That, my friends, is a picture of 104 scarves! Back in January, I was contacted by a woman who has talked to me at several Art Fairs here in Redlands. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association – they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country…
One Moment | The Smell of Roses is Sweeter When You’re Tired
What a week! Please note, “move sites to new server” was not on the list this month. But move servers I did! Did you notice? I’m thinking not, but let me know if you did! The reason I started designing websites was because when I moved my site from wordpress.com to a self-hosted site, all…
