weekly woot!
This week’s woot goes out to contemporary needlepoint artist Emily Peacock. With the notable exception of my mother Dora, needlepoint seems to be a neglected art in the States. It shouldn’t be. Needlepoint is quiet work; perfect as an evening “stress-reducer” or “take-along” project wherever you may travel. Emily hails from the UK and […]

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game inspired this series of nine art quilts. It was the use of a spectrum of moral and ethical perspectives for character development that caught my attention. And then how to represent them visually. There are two basic choices: the character’s view on law versus chaos and good versus evil. Both options also have a middle-ground of neutral. Plot these choices on a grid, and there are nine possibilities for your character’s “alignment.” Thinking about what “lawful” or “chaos” might look like was challenging and great fun.

weekly woot!
This week’s woot goes out to recycling artist Emily Kircher. Emily has two primary product lines made from recycled materials: handmade mosaic picture frames and crocheted rugs. Materials for her mosaics include broken tiles and old dishes, and her rugs are made from used clothing and fabric scraps. In addition to her wonderful creations, […]

maybe this year!?
Major league baseball spring training has officially begun! It’s that time of year when hope springs anew … So dust off your bats and gloves, pack a picnic, tie a new bib on baby, and head out to the ballpark! Okay, our weather isn’t quite there yet … but it’s nice to dream. […]

weekly woot!
I’ve “met” so many amazing artists selling on etsy. And since, unfortunately, I can’t buy something from all of them I’m starting a weekly shout-out to celebrate some of their inspiring shops. This week’s woot goes out to: Emily Stoneking of aKNITomy. Yes, it’s the “icky and cuddly world of knitted anatomy!” And […]

Who is Emily? … or, what’s in a name?
Who is Emily? Just google her, twitter search, pinterest search, facebook search, or look her up on etsy. Fifty years ago “Emily” was a quaint, old-fashioned name and rather uncommon. Now? Not so much. You can call up pages and pages of Emilys with any search engine … and whittling those lists down by adding […]

hypoallergenic cats or portable pets
Inspired by my daughter’s sighs about missing her cat when she went off to college (and a friend with cat allergies) I have stuffed our cat! Well, not our actual cat … but given my wont to see the solution to all problems in terms of fabric, I printed a picture of our cat on […]

christmastime is coming … and so are the kids!
Going to pick up etheldora’s college girl tomorrow. Must have a special treat to welcome her! Not a sew-able treat, but definitely coming along are strawberry santa hats. A “thank you” shout out to Snack Girl for this healthy, tasty, and fun treat. (Hope they, um, survive the three hour drive …) For this and […]

mid-century modern iPad?
“Mid-century Modern” is everywhere these days; showing up in bolts and stacks of great upholstery fabrics. (Okay, brief sigh as realization that my childhood now falls into the “vintage” category passes …) The bold lines and earthy colors of these fabrics are wonderful and I’ve had such fun making iPad and laptop sleeves. I work […]

cuddle me, feed me, love me …
It’s a girl! So I made a baby quilt for cuddling and play, a little bib for little feedings, and a toddler bib for those “do it myself” years. All in bouquet of modern pinks to welcome the first girl in a pack of boys. Mama is a biking enthusiast so I found a sweet […]
