Napkins. Easiest sewing project ever. Ok, well, they can be time consuming if you have a lot to make, but they really couldn’t be simpler. And if you only have five minutes to spare, you can sit down, make one napkin, and get back to the rest of your life. They are the perfect “squeeze […]

All buttoned up
New buttons on Etsy. And new buttons at Polka Dot Creations. And lots of fog out the window. It’s been a day of catching up. I only got half of the orders out today (*sigh*) but the rest will definitely be done by tomorrow. Some batches just take longer than others. This particular one was […]

We’re huntin’ wabbits! Actually, not rabbits. We were looking for a raccoon. We’d seen him sitting in the driveway, watching us walk down the path towards him on our way to the garage.

An unsolicited copy of a new magazine appeared in my mailbox this weekend, and it has brought to the forefront an issue that I have been batting around for a few months.

I’m making scarves for the boys. They’re going to be the two columns on the left, made to match their blue and orange vests. The other three will go in my etsy shop. I had to make coordinating buttons, of course… Here’s another series of scarves I’ll be working on. The one on the left […]

Would you look at my flickr favorites? Clearly I am a little unbalanced when it comes to shoes. Strangely enough, I don’t have a huge shoe wardrobe myself. I have a black lace-up pair I have had for 7 years and wear most of the time, a brown pair of maryjanes from eBay, and a […]

Some days when the boys are home from school, I get all domestic and get in the mood to take care of laundry, clean up the kitchen, maybe catch up on some business email. This is not one of those days. When it became clear to me that the guys were hunkering down for a […]

As usual, I’m a little late coming to the party, but I read today about NaBloPoMo, which is short for National Blog Posting Month. The idea is to post once a day during the month of November. Well, heck, that’s not really a stretch for me, now is it? So, I’m joining in despite having […]
