A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Pink House

September 5, 2012

Until this last Los Angeles trip, I never paid much attention to the houses in my parent’s neighborhood. It’s a rather hip area, very close to Hollywood and dotted with charming Spanish-style bungalows.

Near one of my favorite coffee shops is the prettiest pink house. I’ve been a bit caught up with the color pink lately, if you haven’t noticed. I even pulled all manners of pink patterned fabric for K’s fall wardrobe, but she just informed me that she is so over the color. Oh dear – I hope she’ll wear the very pink dress I made her for the first day of school…

I’ve been swimming in nostalgia these past few day I’ve been swimming in nostalgia these past few days, wading through my blog and Pinterest board of the clothes I made for K, who is not so little anymore. what a wild, fun time that was! Remember the old school days of sewing blogs?? I’m back in deadline mode for a number of projects so sewing will have to be put on hold (though maybe I’ll get lucky and sneak in some stitching time). I’m also putting Instagram on hold for the summer, as I do every year. I’ll be back in September with some exciting updates! Have a lovely season, my friends! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
