Searching for "grace"

Where Things Are

1. Everything for the shirts is with the sample maker. I picked the graded pattern up on Thursday afternoon (I have to tell you more about my grader sometime–I love his stories) and walked an exhilarating three blocks north to my sample maker, each step a step closer to a woven shirt that we can […]

You’ve Got to Try This

After a weekend like mine–houseguest from London, cleaning out a garage, driving to NJ to watch a baseball game, preparing for and hostessing a vision board party–you’d think I’d be exhausted. I am, but only physically. Mentally, I’m charged up and ready to go. See the woman in the center of my board above? That’s […]

Somebody Stop Me!

I love going to Staples, and my Vision Board Party gave me the perfect reason to shop there yesterday. I was drooling in the aisles but finally tore myself away from the puffy, glittery markers and settled on poster board, construction paper, tempura paint (remember this from kindergarten?), water colors and paint brushes.

Expecting New Ideas Soon

I’m expecting my well of blog post ideas to be replenished soon (let me know if there’s something special you’d like me to research or write about!). In the meantime, here’s a fun blog I found through Carissa at Bratique Helene: Knickers. They gave her shirts a glowing review. I especially like their post about […]

My Field Trip

It’s a good thing I didn’t take any cash with me today to the Renegade Craft Fair, or I would be broke. What’s also good is that, thanks to the internet, not buying something at a craft fair doesn’t mean you’ll never be able to find it again as long as you remember to ask […]
