The last few years our gardens have not been as happy as they once were when we actually had time to pull weeds.  When they were happy, I loved to plant pretty dahlias and Iris flowers.  Then, I took pictures of them! I took some of the many pictures of my flowers (and some of […]

Drawing and fabric

By on September 28, 2015

I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric.  On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China.  I thought I would give it a shot, since Spoonflower cannot print a true black on their knit fabrics.  It will probably end up being about […]

By on April 19, 2011

Her pink fairy princess dress

By on October 21, 2008

It goes without saying that most of Anya’s clothes cost less than $10 in supplies, or $15 at the most for an entire outfit.  Time, well that is another thing.  After being on the Spoonflower waiting list for several months, I was finally able to order my first fabrics in mid-September.  It took 3 weeks to […]
