See, there was this thing called "West Davis Corridor" that was supposed to connect into the Legacy freeway some day.  When we moved to our home, we did research and found that if / when the new freeway was put in, it would be parallel (ish) to Bluff Road.  "Great!" we thought.  Easy access to a freeway, but not so close it would be.......

I am officially finished with ALL the slips!  HOORAY!!! (!!!!!!!!)  I've ordered more of the background color, and I'm stuck until it comes in.  (Boo)  The background goes fairly quickly, so I'm hopeful that I can get this bad boy done within a few weeks of receiving my silk supply.  I am SO ecstatic!

Anyway, without further ado, here is ( Read more... )

......I've been digging out my sewing room.  I've reorganized some stuff so I can have a little office space as well.  I'm moving my books and patterns next door, as they're taking up an enormous amount of space in my already cramped sewing room.  (The plan for next door is to turn into a little sitting room with a day bed ( Read more... )

A lady that goes to a fabric store I frequent struck up a conversation last week.  She had mentioned that she needed a logo digitized, and my eyes lit up......I practically begged her to allow me to take the commission - and she said yes!  After a couple of back-and-forth emails, we've nailed down the design (I think).  I've sent her the files and ( Read more... )
