New school year’s resolution, be back in this space! My poor neglected blog. If it was a physical object it’d be sitting in the corner next to my yoga mat. Both of which I’m determined to find time for this Fall. Right now I’m working on cleaning up my craft room. Or cleaning OUT is maybe a better term.

Phoebe’s stamped thank you cards

But first of course … More

After a few tries at resizing my first, very cooperative fox, this guy/girl is at least finally together. But has absolutely nothing to wear. Pants didn’t seem right, wasn’t in a cape mood, sweater dress was a flop. She’s moving to the back of the line while I can regroup. Also I was going to make this fox into my next pattern for the shop but it’s tricky! Body is pretty straightforward but that head is a beast. I … More
