Thursday's Treasure

~*~

Awwww.  Look at baby Lyla, all snuggled up in her organic cotton snuggle set.  Big, big thanks to her mommy Mari and photographer Aubrey Stopa for sharing the photos.

There's something about a big baby yawn that is so so sweet.  She looks like a darling little bundle, that's for sure :)

If you are here reading this, I give you my biggest thanks for sticking with me during these sparse posting times.  I believe that better days are just ahead, and I look forward to catching back up with you all!

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

~*~

It's that time of year when everything in the forest is wet and green.  These five *new* fabrics are an ode to springtime... look for them in sosovintage soon!

Anthem

~*~

Don't let these sweet little songbirds fool you... my anthem these days is a little raw.  A little rough.  But, it makes me happy nonetheless.  It makes me think of my newfound badass friend Regina- a woman whose cool *I got this* demeanor has been honed by years of lessons learned and taught.  In fact, it makes me think of all the women that I am proud to call friends- we've all been here at least once, right?

~*~

Please enjoy my song HERE, (preferably full blast), and leave a little note about a song that makes you want to sing with your heart wide open and your fist in the air!

 

 

Wednesday's Works

~*~

I'm all caught up with orders in both shops at the moment, so I've had a little *just for fun* crochet time.  I started this set with the pink bowl, and was then struck with the notion of a Neapolitan ice cream theme.

~*~

~*~

I made this blue and white bowl last night.  It's slightly larger than my pillowcase "ball bowls" and would hold pencils or tallish craft supplies nicely.

~*~

I've been able to get some new fabrics and towels in sosovintage, but now it's time to get some of these new goodies listed in sosorosey.  For some reason I haven't felt up to that task, but it will feel good when the shelves are dusted and fluffed :)

~*~

Be sure to come back tomorrow.  {I know, two days in a row is a shocker!}  I'll be sharing one of my favorite "anthem songs" dedicated to my new friend Regina.  I'd love to hear one of yours if you have one!

Still Here

~*~

I can't believe I haven't posted in a week!  And I don't really even have a makeover to show.  Oh well, I'm here now and at least I have something to share.

~*~

 

~*~

I finished this custom rug order last night.  It's a mix of variegated and solid yarn, and the overall result is one of scattery neutrals.  It is heading off to NY today to be a Mother's Day gift this weekend :)

Makeover Monday: 4/29

~*~

 I started this pretty neutral rag rug with the idea of making her 5 feet across.  This was months ago.  Then I got sidetracked, and she sat and sat.  Unfinished and unhappy :(

~*~

~*~

I picked her up again this weekend and decided she deserved to be finished- even if she wasn't going to grow as large as I had hoped.  Her "done" size is 32" across, and she seems delighted.  She's ready to leave the nest!

Wednesday's Works

~*~

I had a little lull in orders, so I finished my pretty robin's egg rug.  She is SO soft, and a great size- measuring in at 42" long and 28" wide.  Keep or sell, keep or sell?

~*~

~*~

I've also been putting these pretty fabrics together for their debut in sosovintage.  Their pretty spring colors and flowers soothe the soul.

~*~

How about you?  Any works in progress to share?
