I spent my beautiful Saturday morning (and part of Friday night) packing up orders to ship out. My letter carrier tends to come earlier on Saturdays, so it’s usually a bit of a rush to get everything packed & weighed, the credit cards charged, and the postage printed & applied before he gets here. I […]

More sewing and a little contest
Yesterday I made the apron I’d been planning to make, and it only took me a hour! The first one I made took twice as long. I guess I’m getting the hang of this sewing thing… Here are some flickr pictures for your viewing pleasure. I had enough fabric left to make a tote bag, […]

The new issue of Art Doll Quarterly includes an article about AMACO’s Bottles of Hope Challenge.
