Good morning, friends, I hope you had a lovely weekend! The weather was incredible here in Seattle, and we got to enjoy some outdoorsy fun including a birthday party at a farm (well, at least M and K did while I ran errands). I have long been a fan of the Scandinavian design and aesthetic. Say what you will about IKEA, but I think so many of their products look sharp, and I love that they're usually wallet-friendly even if they don't always stand the test of time. When I saw the sweater knit ... Read more

Good morning, friends - today is the last stop of the DoGuincho Bubble Shorts blog tour, and it's my turn! Before I dive in to describe the shorts, let's take a moment to pretend that it's summer. Instead of torrential rain we've been experiencing here in Seattle, in blogland K is enjoying a balmy day fit for tank tops and shorts.

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you're feeling ready for the week.

Good morning! We had a rip-roaring, thunderous storm yesterday and I almost got hit by lightning, so I'm feeling very grateful that I'm typing this post alive and well and without singed hair. I made a couple of tops for this week's Monday Outfit and zeroed in on shades of green. Let's talk about the oh-so-French inspired polka dot top first. Until I put the black buttons on, it looked remarkably like a mini-Tova (and the contrasting placket fabric is scrap left over from my first Tova ... Read more

Good morning! I had a productive weekend including consigning some fabric at the stash place I've mentioned before and organizing K's room. How was yours? I have quite a few thoughts on the stash place which was so very interesting, and will expand on them at a later date! For today, I have yet another tunic for you - with my class coming up, I've been "practicing" to be able to provide clear instructions so I've been making this tunic over and over. It's a good thing K loves this ... Read more
