Summer is going too fast this year. Just typing that makes me panic. I don’t want to think about it. Here’s a lovely day we had last week. We spent a week in Michigan and had such a great time, mostly on the beach but on one of the cooler days we went blueberry picking. It was awesome. So calm and easy. No bouncy house or petting zoo or carnival rides, just us and 4 buckets.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
Blueberry picking is one of my favorite summer traditions! I almost always eat twice as much as I pick 😉
Also – if you’ve notice some footprints in your archives these past few days, it was me! I just stumbled upon your blog and can’t believe I’ve never been here before! I’ve been searching for some sewspiration for things for my daughter and have loved taking a peek into your past work. I’m not very skilled just yet but I look forward to trying out one of your patterns soon! Thanks for making such awesome things!
I am in complete agreement about blueberry picking….I love to go every year and try to bring new people every year.
I Love your posts – keep up the good work
