june at noon

My creative space last night and today has been a-bustle with shop update preparations—finishing, packaging, photo shoots, photo sorting and editing, writing….

I’ve got four sets of pretty sewing pins and a new redwork embroidery to list, along with some 5×7″ prints of my sewing pin photos. How’s that for productive? (For me, at least!) I’ll [...]

It feels a little odd to have missed my “usual” posting schedule by not writing a post yesterday. But I was so caught up in wrapping up some small projects that I just neglected to get to the computer. It probably enjoyed the break!
So here I am, popping in late on a Tuesday night [...]

I mentioned I was working on a couple more “button ladies,” and I’ve just finished them.

May I present Eva? She is number 4 in the “She Wore Buttons for Pearls” series. She is stitched with black perle cotton on a sand-colored linen and laced onto foam board.
Eva is a bit of a daredevil, and she [...]

I’m happy to announce that my shop is finally stocked with some new items! That was a bit of a lapse between updates, wasn’t it? I’m really hoping that for the future I can keep up with putting at least two or three new things in the shop each week, and I’m aiming for Thursday [...]

Well, well, well. I’m thoroughly exhausted from last week. But it sure was fun!
Thanks a million to everyone who supported the shop or participated in the blog happenings here during the Grand Opening Week. I enjoyed reading your responses to my “market research” questions throughout the week and am brimming over with ideas for new [...]

And now. [...]

Thanks to everyone who has been participating in the excitement of my shop opening. It’s such a nice thing to be part of such a beautiful community. I don’t take that for granted for one minute!
As part of my celebration, and as a “thank you” to you, I’m back to offer you my second freebie. [...]

Well, hello there! Are you enjoying my shop’s Grand Opening Week as much as I am? I don’t know if that’s possible! ;)
Yesterday I took a bag full of packages to the Post Office.

And today my creative space is all about the shop. (More spaces at kootoyoo.) I’m stamping little note papers to send with [...]

Wow. You guys! My shop was open less than six hours yesterday before you sold me totally out of my small “physical” inventory. Just patterns left for now!
Thank you. Really, thank you for being so supportive and enjoying my work as much as I enjoy making it. The patterns will always be available in the [...]

Today marks the first of three giveaways that will be happening to celebrate the [...]
