Back by popular demand::New Patchwork Totes!

Leggy

So this morning finds me on day two of OWL LEG PRODUCTION. Today will be more fun than yesterday because now I'm on to stuffing. Which means working from the couch and watching movies while I work. I've been spending the past week or so doing all the tedious sewing work that tends to slow me down when doing big orders or shop updates. I've got tons of tote straps and linings done, owl eyes, beaks and faces cut, bias tape cut and pressed, ( I love having bias tape in fabulous prints but man do I hate making the stuff!), and a stack of crowns all cut and sitting pretty on my WIP table. It has been a bit difficult doing so much of this work all at once but it will be a while before I need to do it again. And being able to just jump in to the "fun" sewing that allows me to really play and be creative is the ultimate reward. No having to stop mid tote or softie because I need to make a strap or cut some eyes out of felt.

Now, all I need to do is choose a movie, get comfy and start stuffing. I'm thinking the new Feist documentary.



So, are you doing any making today?

Just some of the packages that have been heading out the door these days. Mostly owls flying the coop I'm afraid,(it's always a little sad to see them go!)

But of course there are always more little hoots emerging from my little workshop :)

WIP Wednesday

Putting together some log cabin patchwork totes this week. These are quite possibly my favourite things to make, I love paring prints and placing pieces and quilting as I go. Some of my most treasured fabrics are reserved for these totes. Some Aunty Cookie, babushkas , Amy Butler and other Japanese faves, mmmmm. I love it!

Spring & Other Things

I've been super busy in the studio this week, getting ready for Friday's shop update. I am hoping that I can finish up some sweet log cabin totes, I'll see how quickly they can come together.


With all the hustle & bustle of the week, I have been keeping a watchful eye on the garden. The kiddos & I check daily on the progress of our tulips, almost all have opened up except for a few slow pokes. I love the anticipation of spring....

This shot above is just for extra awesomeness. I often enter a room to find the dogs all gussied up... with a little girl trying hard to conceal her giggles.

Shop News

Good morning all! Today i thought I'd share a bit of shop news. I am planning a big ol' update for Friday April 23rd. There'll be some handy Take Along Totes for all the kiddos in your life. These little bags are great for holding all those whozits & whatzits that kids accumulate when they're out & about, ( my girls bring their's everywhere.) There they are above all stacked and ready to go. I love seeing things all piled up like this- makes me feel productive.

There will also be some sweet dress up crowns available. I think they look like some sort of awesome blooming plant in this shot... I've got loads more crowns all cut and ready to go but I think those will be coming along with me to the Tarts n' Crafts show on May 8th at the Jack Purcell Community Centre in Ottawa, (more about that great event later.)

That's all fer now friends.
