Living and writing in a circa 1840 New England Farmhouse with three generations of my family
In the Studio at 1840 Farm
Here’s what we’re working on in the 1840 Farm Studio. Click on a photo to enlarge.
It's probably no surprise that this is what we're working on tonight. Valentine's Day, here we come! #1840farm #fabric #valentine #valentinesday
Remember the Medium Egg Basket I made earlier today in bold primary colors? I just added it to our shop. I love this combination of bold, bright colors. They're seasonless. I find it hard not to smile when looking at these fabrics twirled together
I am stitching up a few items to add to our Etsy Shop for the weekend. This Market Tote Basket seems to be getting prettier with each turn at the machine! #fabric #thread #sew #handmade
I love how these colors and patterns are coming together, don't you?
Suddenly, my little studio is the place where Thanksgiving and Christmas decor collide!
It looks like a Winter Wonderland outside, but I plan on keeping things bright and cheery at the sewing machine. Stay tuned for photos of the baskets as they take shape! #1840farm #fabric #handmade #sew
I like the way this egg basket is coming together. I hope that you like it as much as I do!

Our electricity just came back and I am ready to settle in at the sewing machine. This cheery combination of fabrics is waiting for me. Now I have to decide what to make with it. What would you like to see me make? An egg basket, table basket, Easter b
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

Medium Egg Basket #0431
Handmade on August 2, 2014
I just added a preorder listing for our Apple Harvest exclusive fabric. So many of you had asked that I let you place your orders while our fabric is in production and now you can. We'll be placing another order before the end of the week and will add i
You may have noticed that the inventory of handmade baskets in our shop has been slim lately. We're making new baskets every day, but they are selling faster than we can make them. Many of them have sold within the first five minutes and others haven't
The very first Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Basket is leaving the studio today. I decided that it needed an appropriately festive thank you card and recipe card to go along with it. They're both decorated with a simple barn red heart with white stitchin
The handwrapped fabric coil that we were working on last night is finished and ready to be stitched into something beautiful for our shop. I am hoping that you will help me to decide what to make with it. Should I make a basket, table set, trivets, coaste
Take a look at what's first in line at the sewing machine this morning. Isn't this a lovely combination of fabrics?
The first Trick or Treat tote of the season has just been added to our shop. Of course, it doesn't have to be used for trick or treating. What would you use it for? https://www.etsy.com/listing/205106769/small-tote-basket-0456
I just added Small Table Basket #0448 to our shop. I love this combination of fabrics in chocolate brown, sage green, cinnamon, wisteria, and tan with just a touch of buttercup yellow. This basket has two contrasting colors of stitching with sage green
This Small Table Basket was just added to our shop. This beautiful basket makes three listings all in fall colors added today. It's beginning to look more like fall in our shop!
My Sunday in the studio is starting out in the loveliest way. #1840farm #farmhousestyle #fabric #sew #sewing #heart #basket #handmade #etsy #etsyshop #valentine #valentinesday
All this talk about Home Ec on our Facebook page made me want to find time to settle in at the sewing machine. There's something about the hum of its motor and working with my hands that sets my day off in the right direction. I'll be finishing this egg
Remember that beautiful basket I was working on this weekend? Here it is finished as a Medium Egg Basket. I love this bright combination of colors, don't you?
We find ourselves in between snowstorms today. We finished cleaning up from the latest storm yesterday and have more snow on the way this evening. I am making the most of the lull by preparing Etsy orders for shipment. This collection of baskets will be
There's another foot of snow expected here today. I'll be stitching up baskets and adding Heirloom Seed Collections to our Etsy Shop as long as the power holds out. Oh, and with temperatures under ten degrees, I will be drinking a lot of hot coffee. Here
It has been a gloomy, rainy day here in Southern New Hampshire today. At least there's a bit of bright color turning at the sewing machine. Watching these cheery colors go around and around certainly helps me to ignore the dreary day outside! Now that I
The first basket of February is a very colorful one. I just added it to our shop and can't wait to hear what you think of it! www.1840farm.etsy.com

So many of you wanted to know more about our new Handmade & Heartfelt Collection. I hope that you'll enjoy learning about the inspiration for these very special baskets. Here's a hint: she's named Penny Lane and can be found taking her morning nap snug
Working with these bright fabrics is helping me forget that there's more snow on the way tonight and tomorrow!
I like how this is shaping up so far. I hope that you do too because it will be added to our Etsy Shop in just a bit! #fabric #thread #sew #handmade #farmhousestyle
When I asked this morning if you would like to see a Halloween Collection added to our shop, you responded with an enthusiastic yes. I think that this is a pretty good start, don't you?
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
Today's basket is a beauty if I do say so myself!
It was a beautiful, crisp evening tonight. I took the opportunity to take photos out on the porch so that I could add our 1840 Farmhouse Style Mason Jar Vase Kits to our Etsy shop. Now I have put all of the animals to bed and poured myself a cup of coff
You can't seem to get enough of our Valentine's Day Collection, so we'll keep right on stitching hearts as long as you want us to. I know that many of you are checking our shop multiple times each day in the hopes of finding a few more heart shaped basket
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
This is a lovely way to begin my Friday morning!
