Project Display – Crane Pattern
So I’ve finally found the last pieces I needed to finish this project… the zippers. I have found time and time again that finding a zipper to match the crochet thread or even the fabric is the tricky part. My two local fabric stories didn’t have the right ones needed, but luckily a family […] more…
Office Invasion
In many way my office/ studio is my sanctuary. I can put a door between me and the rest of the creatures in the house and just work. My husband is currently in graduate school and this quarter he got a take home final. He has a desk of his own, which happens to […] more…
Blocking Board – Irregardless Pattern
Finally got this square finished and blocked. The color looks a little off in the image because the square is still wet. I think this square will go over white fabric in the end but that’s a decision for another day. more…Current Projects – March 15, 2014

Lazy Friday – A Pile of Pillows
One of the downsides of developing a large pattern inventory is the unsold pillows and pillowcases that begin to stack up in my office. Its not all bad, but at the same time I want them to go find new homes just because I didn’t create them to live in fuzz reducing bags in […] more…
Blocking Board – Windowpane Tartan Pattern
So after a brainstorming session with a friend a more appropriate name than “Tartan Redux” was settled upon. I should have the second square done within the week and the pillow finished soon after. more…The Past Few Days
So this was the view from my office for several days. I guess one of the slight perks of living in Southern California is the rarity of bad weather days. Today the sun is back out and while I don’t have anything new to photograph just yet at least I have the light. more…
WIP- “Tartan Redux” Pattern
A lot of patterns eventually get a couple variations and the Tartan Pattern is no different. I might end up keeping the name “Tartan Redux” but only as a last recourse. This green is really beautiful without feeling like the color is over saturated so expect to see more of this thread in the […] more…
