Perfect Days

Posts are backing up in my mind because I've been making stuff and enjoying the last balmy, breezy days of summer, rather than spending time at the keyboard. Friday I spent the day discharge dyeing 8 yards of fabric. It all came out well.

Today I put together a piece that combines many of my favorite things: embossed copper, raw edge applique, quilting, and the discharged fabrics. I love the way it turned out, but I'm trying to resist looking at it more because I want to let it "rest"… Continue

A Quote to Kick Off September

I meant to post this yesterday but I was away from the computer all day:

"I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply, not into the market, not into opinion, not into patronage."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I thought you might be interested in getting involved and recommend you check it out. Please help us save handmade toys, clothing & accessories for our children. & save the businesses of all the crafty people who create toys!

If you buy or sell handmade children's items (or even items that could be considered for kids) & live ANYWHERE in the world, this law will effect you!!

You can read more and vote for the idea by clicking the following link:

http://www.change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia

The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.

ALSO, please check the Etsy forums for other ways to get involved, contact your govt representatives & make your voice heard on this issue.

Thanks for your time!
