Maybe the best purchase I've ever made.

Thank you anthropologie for giving me the opportunity to bring back deviled eggs.

New Fabric

Happy how this new batch turned out!

Premier quilt!

First quilt I have ever finished! I want to say by myself, but sadly not so. I designed and pieced the top, then my talented mother did the actual quilting on a machine. Really happy with how it turned out, and was so excited to give it to my dear friend's brand new baby daughter! Couldn't have asked for a cuter recipient!

Mine all mine!

Best idea of the day.

Italian Villas and their Gardens

I just found this reprint of the 1904 original edition and am extremely excited about it. It is the result of a collaborative effort between Rizzoli International Publications and The Mount, an organization founded to preserve and restore Edith Wharton's Massachusetts estate.
Wharton had a diverse writing portfolio and sadly very few of her works are readily available. I can't wait to spend the quiet moments of my long-weekend reading her thoughts on Italian Villas and their Gardens!

Fabric Samples

Finally got some of my fabrics back from the printer!
I'm really excited, they turned out better then I imagined.

(Sorry, pictures are crappy - will get better ones up on my website)
