Turtle Jewelry Design Trunk Show

I am getting ready for Saturdays Trunk Show. There will be 8 of us so you will be able to see a lot of different work. I am happy with my new line of fabric cuffs and am curios to see what people think and how they are received. I will be outside on the sidewalk so am looking forward to seeing a lot of you out there!

This is also the weekend for the South End Garden Tour so a lot to do this weekend in the South End.

Studio,workspace

Here are a few pictures of my every changing workspace. It is sometimes so hard to keep it tidy and although I have so much work space I end up cutting on the floor and working on the big table. Not photos of that as then I will have to admit to chaos! Can I have more buttons and goodies and bits and bobs I think I might use? The thing is sometimes I have to buy more!

Vogue and the "W" has been full of great colour and hat pics this season. I am always amazed by what I actually "get" from all this. The creative proses is really sometimes just waiting for things to come to you .  You just need a lot of patience but I have the kids so I have some of that left! 

Summer pants for A

I finished the pants for Asher. He loves the soft fabric . Easy to make and all I did was a elastic band in the waist and I sewed on a different color band around one knee just to make it look more interesting. 

Will be making more form this Burda pattern!

Jamaica Plain open studios

I am happy to announce that I was accepted for the JPOS. I will be part of a group showing and really look forward to the event. 

Dates:Sep 27 an 28

I will have some new things to show and cant wait to see what people think. This is always very helpful to me.

Here is a sneak peak of the new shoe bag/diaper bag inserts I have been making.

Pants

Finally got around to cutting, sewing and fitting pants for my son. I am using a Burda pattern and it is very easy. I just lengthened the original a bit and it fits like a dream. Hope to finish them soon. 

I found a lovely patchwork blue fabric.
