Gratitude + See you Monday!

November 21, 2012

for those I love
for a haven of comfort
for the extravagance of time – to reflect, to create, to share
for the lessons of hardships
for the simple joys
for new connections forged
for this life

i am grateful.

**********************************************************************

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all! I will spend a long weekend stuffing myself silly with food and celebrating with my two favorite people in the world. I will return Monday with a new handmade outfit. Cheers!

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. Iโ€™ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and Iโ€™m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, Iโ€™ve noticed that thereโ€™s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: Iโ€™ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
