Monday, June 13, 2011. Lucky for me the woman at the Sabbatus Antique Mall recognized me when she came shopping at Fort Andross. And super lucky for me that, when she leanred on that chance visit that I make vintage-inspired aprons, she put aside a special apron she thought might interest me.

A Mum of four,who lives and dreams in fabric,ribbons,yarn and buttons. Friday, 7 August 2009. I seem to have been to busy to blog.

I also feel the very unseasonal weather has made me feel unsure of what to make . anyone else feeling urges to knit and make wintery things? Tuesday, 30 June 2009. Friday, 26 June 2009.
