you must be my...

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 [...]

last call!

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 [...]

the Makerie Sewing retreat

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 [...]

britain bound

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 [...]

on golden pond

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 [...]

2011 sock summit recap

ok, i know that i am dreadfully overdue in posting my account of the wondrous Sock Summit. generally, the more momentous the occasion, the longer it takes me to summon the insight i’d like to have in retelling it…

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

sock it to me!

i can’t believe i’m in PORTLAND! this is probably the american city that i’ve been most wanting to visit for years. i haven’t seen much of it yet, but so far it’s a really lovely town…

as you probably know, i am here for the 2011 Sock Summit, which begins tomorrow! i can [...]
