BEFORE... so sad.

AFTER!

So, this week I had a lot of time with the girls... A LOT of time with the girls. Keeping them busy can be messy and I thought it would be fun for people to see what it really looks like in a house where kids are playing...blogs and Pinterest can make people (me) feel badly when things are messy and not perfectly styled all the time. But after about 20 minutes it all comes together again!

I am savoring the last few days of summer...

in the studio

I have been wanting to make stuffed animals again for a long time...I love how much personality fabric and thread can take on, it is so inspiring. I found myself with a few hours with no agenda this afternoon and spent it in the studio making this little lady. I think she is fun for a first draft.  I already have plans for a robin, bunny, fox, owl, maybe a hedgehog.  Today it felt good just to relax and play.

Anna Joyce + Liberty of London

I have been working on a collaboration with Liberty of London (eeeeee!!!!!!!!!) to promote their new collection of crafting fabrics, Liberty Lifestyle Fabrics. The Lifestyle collection is a perfect weight cotton for crafting and the prints are just as charming and lovely as the traditional Liberty prints.
I have designed an exclusive pattern for a small applique pillow using the Lifestyle prints. The DIY post for the Liberty blog will include a free PDF pattern and instructions for making your pillow. As soon as it is posted on the Liberty blog I will share it here as well, so stay tuned! For now you can buy fabric from the Lifestyle Collection at Purl Soho.
