Merry, Merry!

Oh my. What a week. I'll share some lovely nods we've received on the web this week. You can see the posts here and here.

Are you merry-ing it up out there? I am merry-ing up my sweet Will today with a little package for him.

I used fabric for wrapping his package...The menswear is the excess fabric from the sofa reupholstery and I had some extra brown paper bags laying around for the vest. The old watch face is from a junk store. I love Will in his everydays, but when he dresses up, he does it right-dapper-he-does...in fact, I've called him Lord Fauntleroy since the minute I met him.

Here are a few pics from the workshop we had at Pickwick House. The full story is at the top of the page. I've gotta run now cause baby Jack is crying...

All photos taken by Adie Gateley of Twin Town Studios.

Happy Eve of the Eve!

Little Women + Gift Wrapping

We're about to get "Crafty" in the house tonight for our chic gift-wrapping party. Special guests Elsie and Emma will be bringing their own collection of unique wrappings and bows to share with several of my sweet customers, friends, and neighbors.

So, the workspace is set! Long tables, scissors, and buckets of stuff to use. I think the cover of this Little Women book is so cute and it reminds me to get that movie out again. The movie gets to me, does it you? Speaks to some of my fondest memories of growing up in a house full of mostly girls. A strong, strong Mom, roughing it, long work tables for crafting, and proud things that we made.

If you weren't able to make it to this workshop, no frets... I'm anxious to announce all of our WINTER workshops very soon.

Warming Up for the Holidays!

We're gettin in full warm-up gear at our house. How 'bout you?

Here's Big Girl Syl in her new Christmas coat. The wreath was all her idea. Funny how she never seems to like photo ops, but today she was all about it. I would be too in a coat like that!

Hope you're all having a productive week! Calling all you local crafters and party-wanna-be-ers, I know you won't want to miss the upcoming gift wrapping party at Pickwick House! It's going to be fun. You can find out more about it here.

I'm off now to go meet with Elsie and Emma to plan * design * create...!
