i’m on something of a retreat high… just back from last week’s *beyond* dreamy Makerie Sewing in colorado (i promise a full report later this week) and gearing up for next month’s Squam Art Workshops (oh SAW, how i love thee!)… and it’s high time i told you about a brand new one that you [...]
i still can’t quite believe it’s really true that in just a couple weeks i’ll be teaching in Colorado, at the Makerie Sewing retreat, along with all my new pals Liesl, Amy, Heather, Jenny, Tamar, and Kaari, most of whom i can’t WAIT to meet for the first time, because i think we’re all going [...]
a few months ago i was down in NYC filming some new classes for Creativebug, and i got the lucky chance to have dinner with a fellow Creativebug teacher, the brilliant Liesl Gibson, who i have long admired. it was wonderful to meet Liesl in person after years of having a casual online acquaintance, and [...]

next week, mr. smith and i will be flying across the pond, so that i can finally meet his family for the first time. hooray! i haven’t been to England since i left my design job in 1998, when i used to go twice yearly to shop for *inspiration*. most of the time we’ll be [...]
can a dream really keep coming true over and over and over? i guess it can, because for the fourth time i had the good fortune of attending Squam Art Workshops two weeks ago. and every time it gets better. there is just nothing like spending 5 days on a glorious lake with 150 kindred [...]

so without further heel-dragging, here we go. above you see the line to get into the Summit, [...]
