I used to blog 5 days a week. And now literally years have gone by since my last blog post! So much has changed, including a lot on the backend of WordPress, it makes me want to give up, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll just start, knowing that I’ll get better if I just do… Continue Reading
Tadah! I’ve got 8 new bags ready for the show this weekend, in a new design I worked up the past couple weeks. They are 7.5″ wide by 9″ tall, all of them are made from indigo dyed cotton sateen, which patterns nicely with a wee bit of sheen. 4 of them have glue resist… Continue Reading

In between grading and lots of other things, I spent the later part of last week/weekend working on 10 new Birdie Zip Wallets: Committing to making 10 rather than 5 was a bit stressful. Multiples of 5 make sense because there are 5 colors in my Autumn Splendor Wallet, and ganging up each step does… Continue Reading
