this week in my world

tiny teacup pin cushions will be listed to my etsy shop this week. 

my good friend "a" will visit and we will have a brunch of potato cakes and salad and fresh garden produce and maybe head to a rugged northern coast beach?  it will be such a good getaway for moi who tends to bury her head too much in her creative work.

more photography this week...trying to capture the loving nature of our work is the trickiest of my creative pursuits.

accordion festival, kite festival, custom drapery help, family dinners, etsy  photography and listing of miniature things.  so little space in between things recently that i resort to miniature creativity for the small spaces in between life's happenings:)

tyrus wong  today:)beautiful in every dimension!
including a view of him.  born in 1910...at 102 he is smiling inside and out:)

woven magic

not that i needed anymore but i picked up a few bits of woven magic on a recent stay in san francisco.  not my regular affordable textile indulgences:) but honest and true natural fibers where my art work feels most inspired to play. 

i have been searching for a natural sheer for acorn pouches to meet their eartheness....hmm i think i may have found it. 

  

silken things for dress up. some old some new.

sweet woven trims of pure dyeable cottons

and pure beautiful silks. swing, float, drape, hand, sheen, what's not to love:)

love

feeling so grateful for the textiles that grace my path. dress up of vintage textiles delights my world of creative study.
5 more skirts finally made their way to my etsy shop today.  5 more ideas are waiting in the wings.  next week i begin again:)

summer views

 paella is happening often on the grill.

5 little cups of etsy has arrived.  affirming that paper and packaging matters to my hearts place...

 ...and these cute french parents who look out at me so adoringly...

and remind me to practice my french:)

...as jane eyre is practicing with her pupil miss adela at the moment in my read along with my daughter these summer months.

the view from home

 the beached succulent i rescued is in bloom:)

succulents and feather grass are happyily together

once a week the pie iron comes out for a grilled cheese beyond all

cheers to this delicious life.
