you know, for kids!

Just taking a few minutes away from flipping back and forth between watching my man Van Morrison on Austin City Limits and Raising Arizona (one of the funniest movies of all time) to give you a little update on a few works in progress. All I can share are the pretty little piles just yet, but if you're geeking out over those sweet red & white fabrics--and I know you are!--then hightail it over to Sweetflavor before December 7 for a little Christmas inspiration. Besides great Japanese fabrics, you'll find some lovely cotton prints at good prices. I'm also planning a list of some of my new favorite handmade shops to share as soon as I can  get it together--my life, not the list. Before Christmas, though. Promise.

Finally, *most* my gifts for the 12 Days of Xmas Exchange are in flight to their new homes, so I should be able to start a new project this weekend. A Winter coat pour moi.

I've been feeling so unproductive lately and having a really hard time getting used to the shorter days in Tennessee. Knowing it will be dark by 5 pm, I start feeling panicky around 4:00 thinking of all I still need & want to do with the day. No wonder I'm utterly exhausted by 8 pm.

Wow, I love the fabric you have for you coat! I wish I had the nerve to try making garments, but quilting is about all the sewing I'm brave enough to do.

Lovely fabrics Deb and that fabric for your coat is delicious. It looks luxurious.
My lighting in house is poor to work under so I'm the same, always rushing to get the most of the natural daylight in. I still work after it's gone but it's not easy.
Looking forward to seeing what you make!

I love red and white! So pretty.
