There are new pretties in the shop today. Pens, and pendants, and earrings (oh my!). Hope you’ll “walk” on over and have a look!

I just like playing with them
Saturday I sat down with my little bowl of buttons, and began to organize them by color and pattern. There is something strangely appealing about this activity for me. Seriously, I could probably re-arrange and re-organize them all day long and not get bored. But then, I’m weird that way. I had them out so […]

You may remember my totally-inappropriate-for-summer mini-flip-out over having found the perfect Christmas fabric for my seasonal napkins five months ago… Well, today I got started sewing myself a set. I’d only done one when I took this photo a few hours ago, but I’m up to seven now. “Sure, Lisa, those look like they will […]

Oh, yes, I think that describes me quite well. I hadn’t ever used the term “swag” until I read it on Amy’s blog recently, but now I’m all about that word. Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. Swag. Suh-wag. Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. It just rolls off the tongue so much more easily than “stuff with my images on them.” So, yes, I’m […]

No, I’m not really drunk. I just wanted to talk about three bags made out of sheets, and the phrase popped right into my head. I’m not above kicking back with a Mike’s Hard Lime later, though, if you prefer for me to represent truth in advertising… These three little piles each contain two fat […]

Be warned. I just re-read this post, and I seem to have written a book tonight. If you’d like to just skip ahead to the next blog in your reader, one that is more full of photographs than pesky prose, you may be excused Still here? Aw, thanks. Now on with the post: I woke […]

Or, for sale, anyway… On Etsy, I’ve got three new items, meant to coordinate with particular fabric (as all of my Etsy items are). Of course, if you like the colors, you can use them in whatever context you wish. Meet Flea Market Fancy Striped Decorative Button, Flea Market Fancy Triangles Decorative Button, and Flea […]

Closed, originally uploaded by Jasoon. It’s the end of the second week of December, and true to form, I am really looking forward to my time off. Not that I should really refer to it as time “off.” The week before Christmas I will spend on decorating, shopping, making things, and all of the wonderful […]

We’ve taken every other step, and all that remains is to give our new color scheme a name. I’ve had a lot of fun looking through your submissions, your comments to me, and your comments to each other. I had a small list of favorites going all week, but one of the later entries jumped […]

Less than 2 hours left in the color scheme contest, and there’s a flurry of activity over here. I’m trying to get the things I’ve made photographed and ready for the website. The contest ends at midnight, and while I’m not crazy enough to post the results at 12:01am, I do want to take care […]
