A few different sewing projects. One for the home ...
{pinned}
And some for other people ...
{ruffle piles}
A trip to the fabric store yielded some fun silk twill. I don't know what I'll do with it yet, but it was on an amazing sale ($5 a yard instead of $20!) and it drapes like you wouldn't believe.

I spent some time admiring my favorite tea cups.

And eagerly tracked the progress of my little mandarin-quat tree. I can hardly wait for them to ripen.

Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI was given a sewing machine for Christmas (yeah!). Could you give me a list of other supplies you use for sewing projects?
I love to read your blog!
Thanks,

sweet ruffles and tree...some of the things that make life so very wonderful. things that please and things that grow.
ReplyDeleteGah! That fabric is BEAUTIFUL. What fabric store do you go to?? I'm in SoCal too and all I know about is JoAnns and M&L. JoAnns wouldn't have anything that sassy, and M&Ls is such an undertaking to go through their 80 million bolts!
ReplyDeleteI am horribly envious of that silk twill you found! An incredible print, great textile and only $5/yard. Hold me back!
ReplyDeletei love the teacup photo

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what happens to that pile of ruffles, it's perfectly dreamy.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine 70 degree weather. It dropped to -15 here the other day.
Love your new fabrics! Oh, your weekends are always inspiring and beautiful. And your weeks too!
ReplyDeleteSoCal folks, I get my best fabric (all my silks) from F&S, which is in Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the mandarin-quats - I have no idea what they taste like! I bought the tree late last year, so this will be my first harvest. I'm so eager to find out. They are a hybrid of a kumquat and a mandarin.
Your lovely little tea cups look like they'd go with my china quite nicely. :) Always such a fun and inspiring experience here.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric, what an awesome find.
ReplyDeleteum. where in LA did you find that silk twill on sale? must...go..now.....
ReplyDeleteI love that square cake stand. So simple. So pretty!!
