The combination of blue and yellow fabrics might be my absolute favorite. We repainted the farmhouse kitchen a few years ago to match an egg basket made in these colors and patterns. I just love the buttery yellow and range of blues together. I'll be ma

A rainy afternoon seems like the perfect reason to settle in at the sewing machine.
Yesterday, I shared with all of you that I was working on a new line of products that will combine my love of working with fabric and paper. I wanted to give you a peek at what we are working on. So many of you sent me messages asking me to tell you abo

This is a lovely way to begin my Friday morning!
These baskets were all shipped out during the last few days. Five of them were holiday baskets, the last of them for the year. Don't worry, we'll bring them back again next year. Until then, we'll keep stitching and sharing new baskets with you. We just
Our Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Kits are rounding into form. Look closely and you'll see a bit of chicken wire to hold blooms in place. I hope to begin adding these kits to our shop this week in a variety of colors. I love this set in chocolate brown, tur
