  • Must. Make. More.

    I know I told you about a fairly recent obsession with making pants for my boys after I finally dove in and tackled making my first pair (following a paper pattern) a few months ago.  Once that first pair was done, I was on a roll. I had tackled the elastic waisted front and thought…

  • Experimentations of a Bag Lady

    I’ve been on a toy bag-making kick lately. It started before Christmas, and has continued into the new year. I know I’ve shown you this quick bag (which was inspired by this first bag)  and because I’m a bit of a tinkerer, I thought you might like to see this latest random batch, all of which…

  • Revamp Job: Padded Seat Belt Covers

    I went through a pile of baby stuff the other day and came across some seat belt covers that I had gotten a couple years back in a bundle of awesome hand-me-down loot from a relative. I had never used the seat belt covers. There had really been no need what with car seats that…

  • Celebrating Teachers

    I had a couple other things I wanted to post about before the holidays, but last Friday’s school tragedy has thrown me for a complete loop and I want to acknowledge that somehow first before posting again about other things. Finding out that 6-year old victim Benjamin Wheeler and his family were members of our…

  • Sew Behind

    I’m sorry that I’ve been remiss in posting recently. Especially with the current build-up to Holiday Season Central, I think I’m very likely to get unsuspectingly swept up into the undertow once again, but I’ll try not to. There are lots of things to do and I have a massive list of things I want…

  • Weekend Studio Visit

    It’s always fun to see how other artists and designers keep their studios, so I jumped at the opportunity to meet up with Lotta Jansdotter in her natural habitat in Gowanus, Brooklyn a few weekends back.  Gowanus is also the home to my mural. You knew I had a mural, right? You can see me…

  • Hurricane Sandy & Halloween

    I am incredibly fortunate to say that my family and I were unscathed by the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. Dear friends of ours in Breezy Point were not so lucky as their family home burnt to the ground. My heart goes out to them along with everyone else who has suffered from this storm. On…

  • Off to see a Genius

    I upgraded my laptop not too long ago and it hasn’t been holding a charge recently. Now, this is really not riveting information at all, except for the fact that computer problems f.r.e.a.k. m.e. o.u.t. Like the waving-of-hands-hysterically-in-the-air kind while exclaiming, ‘SOMETHINGISWRONG! SOMETHINGISWRONG!! DANGERWILLROBINSON!!!“ Truly. I flip out more at a computer malfunction (I dare…

  • Is It Friday Yet?

    I know, I know. One more day. Until then… … I swim in Pantone chips whilst wrangling the SQUIRMIEST Mister Baby Pants, who feels the intense needs to lunge for and shuffle every single chip put down, thus tripling the time it’s taking to make my final selections. Whee! Oh, and I posted this over…

  • Etsy Craft Party 2012: Redux

    Mission: Etsy Craft Party 2012*Location: Sunnyside, Queens, New York CityVerdict: Success! (and I’m still exhausted) Seriously, I’m still recuperating from it all. Because of that and that I’m not feeling especially verbose at the moment, I’d like to share with you a photo-heavy/text-light redux of our grand affair.  *Oh, and for anyone who’s still not quite…
