As promised, I have some more fabric to give away. The purging is gaining some momentum and I'll be able to do a few more giveaways - my ruthless culling is your gain! I have about a yard each of the mustard Echino and Far Far Away fabric (both of cotton/linen blend). I'm also throwing in a half a yard of a scrumptious green Nani Iro double gauze. I'm dreaming of exotic adventures - I haven't traveled outside of the country in years and haven't had anything resembling an adventure in ... Read more
KCW Guest Post!
Hooray, here's my exciting news: today, I'm guest posting over at the KCW blog!

I had a fabulous time and can't wait to join again this year. Today I'm prattling on ... Read more

O Spring, O Ba-chan
Strange weather yesterday - pouring rain in the morning, a brief cameo appearance of magnificent sun and warmth, then back to rain. The last of the cherry blossoms in our yard look so festive. K and a friend picked wildflowers (and weeds) and I am in love with this little bouquet. Ba-chan ("grandma" in Japanese aka my mom) is here! K wanted me to create a check-list in preparation yesterday. My daughter, so much like me. That's her writing in the top image and she also supplemented ... Read more
