I’m working on some more symbols for my Tree of Life fabric. The yellow was a bit bright, so I toned it down just a hair. Not sure if it’s the right flavor though. Might still be a bit bright. Love,

My friend Mary and I are embarking on a new fabric design project together. We are going to try something neither one of us have tried before. I want to design something for my new studio (that I don’t have yet but will). I would like to have a large scale design on a single fabric panel where the design can repeat as it gets longer but the width of the design is the entire width of the 44” panel and it doesn’t repeat. I hope that made sense. I would like 2 of these panels to...

My friend Mary Brewer of the famous Royal Forest is visiting me this week. We made a batch of iced espresso and kept it in a measuring cup in the refrigerator. I took a little this morning and offered some to my husband. Around 1:30 I was looking for a refresher and I couldn’t find that measuring cup filled with espresso anywhere!

They always come undone no matter how tightly I tie them and look so sloppy. My kids don’t need any extra help with that! Especially my second daughter who is very active like a little boy! But it really isn’t practical to make...

Well, it’s time to send our handmade items to our swap partner. I’m very pleased with this little moose dress. I never thought those words would ever go together, but I guess they do in this case. This dress is for a little girl who "likes pink and purple. Her favorite thing in the entire world are moose..." (See my new buttonhole elastic invention in the center back. It allows you to snug the dress for the perfect fit! Love it.) Just a quick press and it’s off in the...

I am so very tired. Tired tired tired. No pictures today, just a quick jot to let you know I’m still here. I’m working away on the moose dress and I promise I will have pictures next time. You will not be disappointed. Love, Rachel
