’cause I’m kinda in the mood for a weekend. A crafty weekend. I know I left the “Evolution of a Color Scheme” posts hanging, but there is more to come. The next installment is already written, and I hope to get my hands on the clay for some color mixing within the next few days. […]

A napkin-ey weekend
As you may know, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in so much stuff this week, but I needed some moments of brainless activity to help keep me sane. Sewing a series of straight lines is brainless enough for me, so I worked on my non-seasonal everyday napkins. I did a few every day […]

Words of wisdom from Judy Belcher: “Even crap is beautiful tessellated.” I love it. Along with the rest of this new DVD. Millefiori Story showed up yesterday and over the past two days I have watched the whole thing, from checkerboards to quilts to faces.

I have to admit I haven’t thought about that little kaleidoscope in many […]

…and no one is home to hear it fall, does it still make a sound? I don’t actually know. All I can say is that I’m glad it didn’t fall two days earlier when we were under it picking berries, and I’m glad I decided to skip berry-picking last night and run out to buy […]
Read More: If a tree falls in the yard…Who’s in the mood for a little giveaway?
I watched Lisa Pavelka’s new DVD last night. I’ll be honest and tell you that I didn’t have very high expectations based on the price. A $12.99 list price for a polymer clay DVD is pretty much unheard of, and I was expecting to get a crummy interface, a low-budget recording, or both. I was […]
